Boys’ Co. branches out THE LATEST addition to Yaletown, Vancouver’s trendy warehouse district of poolhalis, all-night eateries and designer showrooms, is the Boys’ Co. General Store and General Café, By Carol Crenna Contributing Writer Located at 1039 Mainland St, the new lifestyle store features men’s and women’s clothing, furniture, gift items and a full cafe within an area of 2,800 square feet. The store was designed by Christopher Bozyk who created three other Boys’ Co. outiets. The new location was chosen due to the increasing growth in this warehouse-filled neighborhood, which used to be an industrial area situated close to the former Expo lands. Several new restaurants, clothing and furniture stores, bars, art gal- leries, designer and movie industry studios have opened in what is now referred to as “Scho Vancouver.” Boys’ Co. owner David Goldman says that since Yaletown is becom- ing a lifestyle-oriented area, the new store will cater not so much to a spe- cific demographic as it will to “men and women who like to 20 out and do things. The clothing is only one component of the store.” He adds that his company has put a lot of work into the conception and cre- ation of the one-of-a-kind store. Aside from the clothing lines, Goldman’s wife Tanis and her part- ner Tonie Massolin own and operate every aspect of the store. This includes gifts, ceramics, local arti- sans’ furniture and bedding, essen- tial oils and body products, cappuc- cino bar and healthy food café and packaged gourmet foods. The men’s clothing will be simi- lar to merchandise carried in other Boys’ Co. stores. The women's clothing, according to Goldman, will be “female versions of lines usually carried in Boys’ Co.” such as Big Star, Replay, Rivet, Moschino. Other women’s-wear lines include Hidden Heart, Zino and Judy and A. Gold E. Boys’ Co. closed its only Vancouver Island store, located in downtown Victoria, in late August. Forties fashions shown OVER THE centuries, women’s clothing has been designed to serve a multitude of purposes. While the main goal has been to protect women from the elements, other forces have also had a major impact on fashion. The gradual freeing of women from restrictive clothing parallels their social, economic and political emancipation. Over time, corsets, bustles and petticoats have been abandoned to reflect the more relaxed lifestyles and attitudes of this century.
