Considered one of Toronto’s best-kept little secrets, this boutique offers some of the most fashion-forward men’s lines in the city. Its modest store front is almost completely unnoticeable–those not in the “know” could very easily miss it.
Don’t let its size fool you. This Queen West nook houses some great local and international designers. You will love the innovative men’s accessories. This is a definite stop for the man who wants that “mature aesthetic with an urban edge.”

It’s a Risque Business
by Logan Steele · Leave a Comment
This particular boutique was brought to my attention by my wife. This past summer she had came home one day with an amazing pea green, brown trimmed, summer dress with front pockets, by Pixie. I found the dress so adorable and flattering on her, that I had to inquire further on where she had acquired this garment. Her reply was Risque Boutique in the Annex. I remember thinking how current the dress looked and was further surprised at the price she had paid for it, it was very reasonable. We later visited the store, on one of our many outings, and was impressed on the selection of clothing they carried. All at a great price point for the average working woman. Edgy basics and contemporary essentials graced the racks and shelves of this cozy setting. Alongside, some innovative accessories, belts and fabulous shoes. Pretty much something for ever foreseeable occasion. This is the ideal place for the women that does not necessarily want to spend a great deal of money to remain fashionable. It comes highly recommended, just consult my better half.
Even the Chief Chick in Charge at the ChickAdvisor agrees with me!

A Good Kind of Flash Back
by Logan Steele · Leave a Comment
In these stressful economic times, in which recreational spending has become sparse and indulgence frowned upon. Aren’t you glad we can always just go and buy vintage? I mean how bad can you feel knowing that you just bought a used designer leather coat for thirty bucks and a quirky novelty throw-back rock-tee for ten? If you have an eye for it you can find whatever you want. What is it that is said, “one man’s trash…”. In my honest opinion, out of all the numerous vintage shops in our world famous Kensington Market, Flash Back would have to appear at the top of my list. Now all you other merchants don’t get all bent out of shape. This neighbourhood nook indisputably hosts some of the best vintage finds in the city, period.
Vintage Depot also comes to mind as a great spot with an amazing selection for those who enjoy the hunt. Planet Aid also comes highly recommended (I once bought an unbelievable Christian Dior, wide width, brown paisley woven neck tie there, that’s “the dog’s bollocks!”) and the cool thing is that a portion of their proceeds goes towards various charitable organizations. How could you possibly feel guilty for shopping there? And, the list goes on and on. I encourage one and all to see what this market place of food, culture and vintage bounty has to offer. But what I’m saying is, while you are there, definitely check out Flash Back.
Located less than a quarter block north off Dundas Street on Kensington Ave. Flash Back stands alone amongst some of the best finds is the Toronto area. Its variety and constant new arrivals of great conditioned unique garments make this shop a must stop. The owner, if you are lucky enough to have him there while you are perusing, is a plethora of information and is always willing to take you through his stock to help you find the preloved treasure you a looking for. I must say his passion for fashion gets contagious. Their denim and leather selection can’t be matched. They have some of the largest selection of military and military inspired apparel around. Not counting The Army Surplus, of coarse.
Personally, I used to go there to hunt for rock-tees, belts and belt buckles. If you make your way to the back of the store which could be intimidating just by the sheer volume of merchandise back there. You are greeted by racks and mounds of clothing, bags, shoes, hats etc. You honestly need an hour just to go through the hidden gems in the back room alone. Their large array of jackets has something for every taste – varsity, leather, canvas, motorcycle… they house them all in this fifteen hundred square foot space. And, most importantly the prices at this retro retailer are always beyond reasonable. This is the one flash back that won’t leave you feeling sketched out.
