Hot Shop: H&M Pacific Centre

Late last year H&M unveiled its re-designed store at the heart of Pacific Centre mall.

First opened in 2008 (wow, that sure dates us!), the renovated space now occupies an additional 8,000 square feet, including an entirely new floor on the lower level dedicated to dudes (don’t worry, the store continues to carry women’s, teens’ and kids’ clothes). Unique to Vancouver, the façade of the new store is a custom metal structure meant to resemble origami-style paper folds—the first of its kind in Canada.

Lucky us! —Noa Nichol
