A Donna Karan blazer can set you back USD1500 and a red cocktail dress USD4,000.

Hemp clothing |

It's difficult to believe the myriad of things that can be made with hemp. To get a small inkling of the possibilities, visit Grass Roots, where hemp dresses, casual clothing, women's and girl's fashions, hats, wallets and hundreds of other hemp items can be found. The versatility and environmental value of this material is astounding, with textiles as smooth as silk or as rough as heavy wool available. While some of the products have hemp's natural off-white color, most are dyed to look exactly like cotton. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Often clothes-stores with chains have the same designs to offer, but H&M tries to bend that cliché and provide variety in every shop. While a host of dress stores are lined up in the Market Mall, H&M wouldn't be hard to miss. To add to all those pluses, the prices remain extremely reasonable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

There are also a number of interesting books, jewelry and artwork as well as information on the widespread use of this plant. There are hand blown pipes and tobacco smoking paraphernalia located at the back of the store, and the staff is both friendly and knowledgeable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historical and vintage clothing |

This eclectic collection of classic and vintage clothing is more like a museum, spanning the decades of fashion from the early 1800s right up to the 1980s. Tucked in amongst beige melamine-paneled TVs from 1950 and leopard-print leotards from 1984 is an impressive assortment of business suits, footwear, and accessories like handbags and fur boas. Most of it is either painfully out of style, or just coming back in for a second time. It would be difficult to find a more comprehensive source of fringe fashion and historical clothing in the city.
