The top 10 strangest celebrity creative directors
Gone are the days when celebrities and designers were just, well, celebrities and designers. Now with every celebrity endorsement comes with a prestigious title—one that we’re used to being associated with helming a major fashion house—the creative director.

Vancouver: Window shopping at Front & Company
If the hasty pedestrians who hurriedly make their way across town lift their heads for an instant, it is usually to glance at the outstanding displays they have come to expect in the windows of Holt Renfrew, the Bay, BCBG MaxAzria and Aritzia. It has become a part of our routine, the curiosity and excitement of being transported, if only momentarily, to some imagined place.
However, if you wish to witness something truly unique, I suggest you travel slightly off the beaten path to the fantastic place that exists behind the window panes at Front & Company (3772 Main St., 604-879-8431, frontandcompany.ca).
