Mood Wicking
Candle brand Vigyl designs premium soy blends that encourage storytelling through scent. Hand-poured in Montreal, Quebec, the candles are high-quality, can suit any space, and are packaged with contemporary minimalist aesthetics in mind. The brand aims to present a genderless offering that revels in universality while looking to reshape its creations as more than wellness products. In a rich array of moody scents that range from ylang-ylang and jasmine
to amber and spice, Vigyl is redefining the modern candle.
Vigyl is available at vigyl.ca.

Grand Introduction
Alexander McQueen has unveiled its flagship store
in Toronto’s Yorkdale Mall, marking the brand’s first stand-alone retail location in Canada. To capture the brand’s essence, creative director
Sarah Burton tapped architect Smiljan Radić, who adapted the vision for his Right Angle House in Chile to the McQueen retail experience. References
to the house are evident in the geometric forms used to define pathways that lead visitors
throughout the interior.
Alexander McQueen’s flagship store is open now at Yorkdale Shopping Centre.
