Queen Street West

Queen Street West was recently named the "second-hippest district in the world" by Vogue Magazine. It's the creative heart of Toronto, and that creativity bursts forth in the many local designer shops. Queen Street West is the best place in the city to find unique, locally designed clothes and merchandise. Fresh Collective is a fun place to shop for affordable and unique women's clothing. The store only sells fashionable clothing and accessories made by local Toronto designers. The look is casual, funky and easy to wear -- while still being totally unique.
Lavish & Squalor calls itself "a shop where nostalgia meets today's urban lifestyle" -- which is basically the definition of hipster. It's a store for men that evokes the rugged, wild west and features personal products like shaving mugs, denim jeans, cowboy boots and home furnishings.
