Couture - Holt Renfrew


I'm really sorry about the lack of updates but I've been catching up with life after being bombarded by CASB immediately after my vacation. However, you can look forward to entries about Alberta Fashion Week and details about my wonderful trip to China all in the upcoming week.

Anyways, you know it's big news in fashion when the opening of the new Calgary flagship Holt Renfrew appears on the home page of WWD. Designed by Janson Goldstein, renowned architect and interior designer who brings us the best retail spaces in the world, Calgary will now be home to the second largest Holt Renfrew. Based on the photos provided by WWD, I think it's an innovative and beautiful space that has radically changed the former home of the downtown Sear's. It's hard to remember how the store use to look like but there's no doubt that Holt Renfrew will become an extremely successful anchor to the new Core renovations. Apparently Brook's Brothers will be filling the old space left by Holt Renfrew on the second and third floor, meaning the ground floor may still be available for some other retailers. I truly hope that it will be a new entrant to the Canadian market and can hopefully take advantage of the amazing historic display windows and the stunning facade of the former Eaton's building. It's certainly been some exciting times in Calgary!
