Dress up your narcissism

Susannah Kennedy

As the name implies, Narcissist boutique encourages rave reviews from our toughest critic: the mirror. The Narcissism Design Co. name comes from the Greek myth about beautiful Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection. Canadian designer Sara Robson Francoeur gives us a reason to fall in love with ourselves.

The boutique - located at 3659 Main Street in Vancouver - showcases the Narcissist Design Co. dresses as well as pieces from many other Canadian designers like Xis Clothing (skirt - $110). Make a night of shopping and take advantage of the store’s after-hours shopping events (If you bring five or more ladies, the store will supply treats and discounts). Or just stop in to jazz up any outfit with beautiful jewellery creations like those by Vancouver local Elise Lew.

The infamous national favourite available from Narcissist Design Co. is the Pamela dress ($185), which can be worn eight different ways!  Throw on a cardigan or wrap sweater on top for work attire, and a quick change into the halter style takes you straight to a fall patio party. Then, as the light fades, put on your dancing shoes and try one of the sexier styles for a dramatic party look.
