Flavour
Flavour is a
locally owned clothing store that focuses on providing current Men's
and Women's fashions at affordable prices. Since opening in
2003 the company has grown to include two additional island locations
at Uptown and in Courtenay, as well a sister store called 8th &
Main with two locations in Vancouver and one in Toronto. The looks Flavour chose to show at Victoria for Relief were playful, easy summer outfits that could be worn dressed up or down. All were simple minimalist, but of exceptional quality.
Victoria for Relief was top notch event from start to finish. Over three thousand dollars was raised this evening, all of which will be donated to the Cool Aid Society to support their goal of building 360 new apartments this year for the homeless. "
