Savoir Fair
Tact can’t be taught and style can’t be bought, but pretty frocks can be sought at The Fair.
The
shop, which started as a strictly virtual venture, has broken ground in
Gastown. Inside, owners Tammy Joe and Jennifer Nosek stock Academie,
their own line of limited edition silk dresses ($270) and one-of-a-kind
repurposed vintage pieces, alongside cool imports from Korea, including
wool boyfriend blazers ($130). There are also scores of vintage shoes
and accessories, which the fashion-passionate Joe sourced when she was
a travelling medical software consultant.
Let’s hope this fair never leaves town.
