VITA: The Art of Shopping Issue

The October issue of VITA teaches us that art really does have a place in retail (read: shopping’s never been so beautiful).

Check out our cover story, about the highly anticipated opening of Simons in Park Royal this month. The 175-year-old all-Canadian company has just one other location in place outside of Quebec, and is betting its gorgeous selection of fashion merchandise mixed with original large-scale works by local artists like Douglas Coupland, Bobbie Burgers and Jody Broomfield will draw Lower Mainland shoppers through its doors starting October 15th. Also in this issue: hot shops EQ3, Wardrobe Apparel and Sweet Charlie open in Vancouver, along with new restaurants Ancora and Torafuku. Our Home & Tech department dishes on Lenny Kravitz’ new collab with CB2, while our editors deliver their best travel itineraries for Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon and West Hollywood, California.

Trust us, it’s a gorgeous read. —Noa Nichol
