VIOLET FEMMES

OCTOBER 7TH, 2008

VIOLET FEMMES

Roses are red
Violet is new
Your style is sweet
This boutique is for you

Genevieve Allen just raised the fashion quotient on the South Granville Rise with her brand new shop, Violet. Taking inspiration from designer Vanessa Bruno's apartment, the former Misch staffer made the space exactly that—a white, airy Parisian studio complete with flowers, French doors and most importantly, a well-edited closet of luxe labels.

Akin to Allen's own style, gorgeous patterns and colours abound, including stand-out silk and crepe tops and dresses from Paul & Joe, Sister, Cacharel, Grace Sun and Monoplaza from Spain, as well as discerning selections from hard to find French lines Bella Jones and Cotélac.

With more stunning pieces from the likes of Abraham & Thakore expected in-store, it's a sure thing we'll be dressing poetic.

Violet, 3012 Granville St., Vancouver, 604-569-1514, www.violetboutique.ca
