The Webster opens in Toronto
What: Situated in Yorkville, the city's leading upscale shopping ground, the company has secured a listed historical building erected in 1884 to open its new 6,500 sq.ft. (604 sqm.) which is set across three floors.
Why it is important: Since its first inception in Miami's South Beach in 2009, this is the first opening outside of the US for the luxury fashion retailer.
The store features an interior design by The Webster's creative director Stéphane Parmentier who also runs a design practice of his own in Paris. The interior design harks back to the retailer's roots and this imminently shows in the brick façade's bold pink façade and a flamingo wind vane at the top peak.
Shoppers are greeted by a pink feathered bear by Italian multimedia artist Paola Pivi as a nod to Canada's most emblematic animal.
