Lauren Baker, owner of Ossington’s new consignment clothing store LAB, is most certainly who Malcolm Gladwell (Tipping Point, Blink), would describe as a ‘connector.’ Which is why the new boutique, that shares a space with Silver Falls Vintage at 15 Ossington, played host to Toronto's most followed fashion trendsetters, an eTalk camera crew, every Queen West pretty young thing and k-os on the decks (no less), for its grand slam opening a couple weeks back. With stylish friends spanning the city limits, there’s no doubt that LAB will become a natural trading post with offerings ranging from a cute purple no-name summer romper to barely worn L.A.M.B, vintage PORTS blazers and perfectly weathered butt-hugging jeans. Better yet? Score some cash and bring in your sweet apparel for hanging. read more...
