Savoir Fair

DECEMBER 22ND, 2009

Savoir Fair

Tact can’t be taught and style can’t be bought, but pretty frocks can be sought at The Fair.

The shop, which started as a strictly virtual venture, has broken ground in Gastown. Inside, owners Tammy Joe and Jennifer Nosek stock Academie, their own line of limited edition silk dresses ($270) and one-of-a-kind repurposed vintage pieces, alongside cool imports from Korea, including wool boyfriend blazers ($130). There are also scores of vintage shoes and accessories, which the fashion-passionate Joe sourced when she was a travelling medical software consultant.

Let’s hope this fair never leaves town.
