West Queen West
As Queen Street hip pushes further west, Amy Burstyn explores the shopping scene in one of Toronto's hottest neighborhoods.
Jacflash
1036 Queen Street W., 416-516-8766, jacflash.net.
With “Fashion, Music, Glamour” inscribed on the window and a name that alludes to a certain Rolling Stones song, Jacflash promises the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.
Owners, Jaclyn Genovese and her father, Geoffrey, acquire sequins-and-paparazzi labels like Alice + Olivia, Transit and H. Fredriksson from New York, L.A. and Europe and slot them in amongst edgy design accents – a tin-tiled ceiling, antique mirrors and large decorative lamps. A comfier glam is found in jersey from Young, Fabulous & Broke and cashmere-blend Mynk jeans, but mirrored purse from Ira Salles maintains the glitz.
Those also on the hunt for a new sound are free to relax on the white leather sofas in the listening lounge, where customers can check out more than 20 independent music artists.
