Fawn

fawn carries some of my favorite designers — kasha has a selection here that is unrivaled in toronto. quiet and unassuming from the outside, fawn has the kind of modern and classic pieces that will transform your wardrobe. most of these pieces really come to life when on a body, so you have to try them on to fully appreciate their beauty — the way they drape, move, and make you feel. kasha was lovely to talk to and made the experience of being in the store a complete pleasure.
will definitely be back next time i’m in toronto and keeping in touch long distance since kasha is wonderfully accommodating about phone orders and shipping to the US.

Enter Fawn: a world of mix & match, elegant-​retro and effortlessly cool-​looking fashion. Fawn stands for «Fashion attitude wit nostalgia» and owner Kasha Bilobram stays true to her vision by curating thoughtful collections in this Queen West boutique.
She carries clothing and accessories from up-​and-​coming brands (e.g. Montréal’s Complexgeometries) interspersed with some carefully chosen vintage pieces. A lot of the clothes have a chic-​unique aesthetic created by pieces that have interesting take on cut and draping but a minimalist perspective on prints and colours.
The accessories are more playful and even quirky at times but don’t reach kitsch-​level, maintaining the elegant yet edgy vibe of the boutique. You can find Fawn (and a completely styled outfit with the help of Kasha– she’s pretty friendly when prodded) under the Chocolate Factory Lofts and across from Trinity Bellwoods Park.

One of a handful of my go-​to stores for contemporary clothing. Kasha carries a select number of up-​and-​coming labels, in the $ 100-​$ 500 price range. Current brands include (they’re always evolving) Kaylee Tankus, Bess NYC, and Complex Geometries, a great Canadian label.
The look is dark, layered, and often multi-​functional. Japanese, Belgian and Scandinavian influences prevail. Some might say avant garde, but as I despise the term and its overuse, I will settle for edgy.
