This spring, Vancouver upped its style game
with the opening of Swedish ready-to-wear
retailer Collection of Style (COS) in Gastown.
In expanding the Canadian presence of the
brand’s clean-lined, contemporary men’s
and women’s wear essentials, the company’s
creative director, Karin Gustafsson, has
honored the history of the B.C. retail space,
a historic 19th-century building, with a
thoughtful restoration and furnishings from
midcentury designers.
