| New Country Club Plaza men's clothing store will offer made-to-measure pieces - Ink Posted: 13 Mar 2019 12:00 AM PDT ![]() By Joyce Smith jsmith@kcstar.com Vancouver-based Indochino is rapidly expanding with up to 20 new showrooms opening this year, including one on the Country Club Plaza. The men's clothing store allows shoppers to customize their purchases. Customers are assigned a "style guide," who takes their measurements and then walks them through the process of designing their suits, shirts, blazers, chinos and overcoats. Details that can be customized include lapels, buttons, pockets and monograms. The items are then shipped to the customer's door within two weeks. Sometimes a fit will then need to be tweaked by in-house tailoring. The customer's measurements are stored for repeat shopping in the showroom or online. The measurements also can be updated if the customer gains or loses weight. Custom suits and overcoats start at $399. Chinos and shirts start at $79. Indochino was launched as a website in 2007 by two University of Victoria students. One of the students had a special event to attend but couldn't afford a suit that fit and figured there had to be a better way. Now the company has more than 40 showrooms. The Plaza location, at 444 Nichols Road in the former Lululemon spot, is scheduled to open on April 12. Lululemon moved to a larger location at 401 Nichols Road last year. Plaza officials declined to comment.

| Dead White Men's Clothes is Reinventing Up-Cycling - vmagazine.com Posted: 25 Mar 2019 09:02 AM PDT ![]() Jojo Gronostay and Amsterdam Berlin take capitalism into their own hands. Jojo Gronostay and Amsterdam Berlin take capitalism into their own hands. Collaborative project, Dead White Men's Clothes, between Ghanian artist Jojo Gronostay and creative agency Amsterdam Berlin is a way of re-inventing upcycling as an effort to support local Ghanian artists. During the 70s and 80s, when cases such as the Ethiopian famine and Aids crisis in Africa became more mainstream it prompted a multitude of charities and relief organizations to pop up and gather donations to help. Aside from Live Aid and TV commercials pleading to give "just one dollar a month", the west began giving away discarded clothing that would eventually end up in poorer communities on the continent. At first, these clothes earned the name "obroni wawu" or dress of a dead white man, because of the disbelief people had upon discovering that they were given away- thus, assuming that the owner had died. But the donations actually ended up doing more damage to local designers and retailers than charities realized (or cared). DWMC describes the situation as follows, "While used clothes donated in the West might be helpful in the short run, they destroy the local textile economy in the long-term. Effectively, hindering independence from the West." Which is why the artist and creative agency duo seek to change or even raise awareness to this by taking clothing from Accra, Ghana (aka the graveyard for discarded fashion) and selling them online. Giving earnings of the project to young Ghanian designers to ensure the receding textile industry doesn't disappear completely or lose its identity. As sustainability becomes more fashionable, DWMC asks the question in this short film below, "What will the future of luxury look like?" |
