Generation Wear
From Generation X to Generation A, Douglas Coupland’s latest project is a collection of Canadian souvenirs for a new generation.
 In collaboration with Roots,
the Vancouver artist-author has designed a limited edition line of
clothing and accessories that digitize the down-home, from a test
pattern t-shirt dress for ladies ($68) to motherboard print leggings
for babies ($14.95). There’s also laptop sleeves, passport wallets and
backpacks emblazoned with Coupland’s idea of a Canadian crest, complete
with moose, igloo and satellite dish.
And that a pop culture man
like Coupland should get his own Gastown pop-up shop to house his
colour-popping collection is only fitting.
Roots x Douglas Coupland pop-up store, 36 Powell St., Vancouver, 604-677-0614, www.roots.com/douglascoupland
