might have been replaced by the world wide web, but nothing passes the
time quite like perusing the net for our favourite designers. Herewith,
our editors’ go-to e-shops.
Need Supply Co.
is stocked with beguiling basics, beautiful boots and accessories that
tend towards the unconventional. The site sells the likes of affordable
cool lines Jeffrey Campbell, Karen Walker, La Mer and Funktional, not
to mention menswear. International shipping over $250 is free. www.needsupply.com
Joy Pecknold, Vancouver editor
A favourite among stylish bloggers, Queen’s Wardrobe’s
selection of Chloe-esque shorts and Chanel-inspired jackets will make
you feel like fashion royalty. The shop is based in Korea so shipping
is a tad high, and ordering a size up is a wise idea. www.queenswardrobe.com
Malwina Gudowska, Calgary editor
I treasure my Olivia Morris pumps
in a Celia Birtwell floral print. Now that the doyenne of fabric design
has launched an online boutique it’ll be hard not to snap up wallpaper,
fabric, stationery and vintage in abundance. http://www.celiabirtwell.com
Athena Tsavliris, Toronto editor
You have to bookmark the All Saints online shopping site. We can’t get enough of their leather jackets and their ultra-soft, beautifully cut cotton T-shirts. www.us.allsaints.com
Elsa Vecchi, Montreal editor (French edition)
More than just an online store, SSENSE
offers art and culture news alongside an astounding array of fashions
by designers such as Alexander Wang, Lanvin and Rag and Bone. Fashion
geekdom, rejoice! www.ssense.com
Jennifer Nachshen, Montreal editor (English edition)
One
of the few mass retailers with a dedicated Canadian site, we pick up
our basics (striped tops, chunky knit sweaters, cableknit tights) from Gap’s online store. No duty and no handling fees mean a little extra kitty to blow on a winter puffer vest. www.gapcanada.ca
