Any number of places. You just have to look around.

Being an awkard size doesn't help matters but it is always interesting to see the difference between tastes from coast to coast. Even H&M for example, in mtl the men's department always has snugger fits, more colourful clothing while Toronto gets bigger sizes and the browns, beiges and greys. Yes there are a few shops where some cool men's stuff is to be found but not for those on a budget--say under $300 for an outfit. Of course, I'm a cheap sob so i spend about $300 max each year on clothes

Goodwill has great, cheap stuff. And dead people - yesterday I was wearing my late father's nice sweater ( I bought it for him! ), shirt, tie, and the tweedy trousers my Mum ordered from a catalogue that he never wore. The white wooly sweater I wore to Nuit Blanche was hand-knitted by my partner, for himself. Sometimes I'm several people ( plus myself ) all at the same time ...

That is a photo from the Etro Spring 2008 line, I believe.

posted this in the Regency thread in Projects & Construction...looks lke a British lingerie store is coming to the Regency Yorkville..
(from today's Globe)
As well, it is said that leading British lingerie label Agent Provocateur, founded in 1994 by Serena Rees and Joseph Corré, the only child of trendsetters Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, is eyeing commercial space on the Regency's ground floor, with views onto Bay.

Makes sense, regardless of the Regency's... Interesting appearance, I'm sure its retail space is highly sought after. Think about it, this space will face the flagship of arguably the world's finest luxury hotel chain. Agent Provocateur can only salivate at the clientel which will one day descend upon their boutique from across the street.

^Good point: Four Season's construction workers will likely buy stuff at A-P for their girlfriends....
Well I'm still looking--haven't found a single decent men's shop in Toronto yet. Yorkville scene is dead and boring.

Earlier in this thread someone talked about a mini-mall and where one could possibly open in Yorkville. One space I love, but which is completely neglected, is the Deco 2nd floor of the Colonnade. Maybe its too far, pehaps 50 feet, from the sidewalk for people to commit?
Aside from the Dynasty everything struggles so its resorted to various clinics etc.

Deco?
As a matter of fact, it's practically the original "mini-mall", and if anything, it oughta be de-Deco'd to something like its original 60s Modern integrity. (Though at this time, I'm wondering whether a better class of tenant would be institutional rather than commercial--galleries, exhibition spaces, and the like. Were it not so chichi, Dominion Modern would work great here...)

The Japan Foundation in the Colonnade is institutional, and hosts a wide range of cultural events - art exhibitions, music recitals etc. They have an exhibition and film about martial arts at the moment. There's an excellent library that's open to the public, too.

I know (and it's what motivated my idea); but it can't carry the place on its own...
