A pop-up shop debuts on the Ossington strip (where else?) next week featuring the curated goods from two of Toronto’s fashion boutique frontrunners. AWOL Gallery, a pioneer on the Queen West Gallery District scene since its establishment in 1999, will be playing host to the affair, housing collections from LAB Consignment and RAC Boutique, which will range in styles from elegant to eclectic.
Toronto-based shop LAB Consignment, which began as a pop-up in 2009, and became an online boutique exclusively this past fall with the exception of a private showroom that requires booking in advance, will be featuring both new and "gently used" items by haute heavyweights such as Equipment, Elizabeth + James, Alexander Wang, Helmut Lang, Chloe, Hermes and more. RAC Boutique will be showcasing its standard mix of international and emerging designers including Unttld, Markus Lupfer, Rachel Comey and Ganni (which is incidentally the star of its own pop-up shop at Pop Up 120 just up the street, not affiliated with either RAC or LAB).
Unlike many of the pop-ups on the Toronto scene of late, RAC Pop Up will not be lingering for an undisclosed time period, and will be open for less than a week, so we suggest you pop in while you can.
RAC Pop Up at AWOL Gallery, 78 Ossington, open Nov. 19-24
