Northeast Alberta boutique Garnish, primarily featuring the design work of proprietress Erica Lurie, is expanding its empire into the Pearl District as soon as early June at 404 NW 12th. (between Flanders and Glisan). Clearly the shop—which specialize in easy-wearing dresses and separates that lend themselves to personalization rather than making their own loud statements—has served its eastside clientele well, and it will be interesting to see how the Garnish style adapts to its new environs. Certainly, if you're going for the Pearl District's shopping heart, you could scarcely hit the target more precisely than that address. Stay tuned for opening event details and exact dates. Oh, and if you're a seamstress with customer service skills, you may want to peep this.
