The Invasion of The Cherry Blossoms! What a delight they are, and truly, some of the prettiest things that punctuate the earth come springtime.
Why just take a photo of a cherry blossom when you can dress like one? Take any theme, topic, category, idea, and curate a wardrobe around it. You can do that in Gastown. And quite easily in fact. So cherry blossoms it is. But we don’t just have clothing cast in pinks and whites – no, we do falcons, oversized bags, flowing bustiers, weird 3 – eyed monster shirts, and shoes called Twin Turbines, all with pinks or whites thrown in.
Here’s a sampling of things to wear that will help you get that much closer to your dream of becoming a blossoming miracle in the magic of springtime.

In 1970, John joined forces with fellow Sheppards co-worker Peter Fox to start up their own shoe store in historic Gastown, Vancouver. At first Fox & Fluevog only carried men’s shoes, but after a few successful years, the pair opened a second location selling ladies heels and clogs right around the corner at 211 Carrall Street. Continuing the Fluevog heritage by using classic partial blake construction with soles and uppers made from high-grain Italian leathers, the 211 Carrall Street is a sleek and simple formal shoe for the classiest vintage suits.
