Happy Valentine’s Day from Angel Vancouver

Posted on February 14, 2013 by angelvancouver

desigual.one.million.fansWe’ve just solved one man’s dilemma about what to buy his wife for Valentine’s Day. He happened to be across the street and spotted an Angel hand-painted heart shirt in our store window. Perfect, he said, relieved that he had found a unique gift for his love.

Angel Vancouver specializes in custom hand-painted shirts, and we’ve included photos below of two shirts I painted today. If you have an idea for a shirt, call Angel at (604) 681-0947 or email me at jackie@angelpaint.com

Valentine’s Day also marks the birthday of George Ferris, an engineer who invented the Ferris Wheel. I’ve  included below a photo of the first Ferris Wheel, built for the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893, and a photo of the view from the top of the ride, which was 264 feet high and had 36 cars — each held 60 people. A band played in one car when the ride was running. Now that would have been a Valentine’s Day to remember.heart.n.cherries.angelshirtheart.n.flowers.angel.shirtheart.n.cherries.pinkshirtpink.jean.jacketBlue.Panther.by.angelvancouver.com cat.shirt.by.angelvancouver.comfirst.ferris.wheel.1 first.ferris.wheelThe world’s fair was lit with electric lights using alternating current, which was a new invention at the time. And Buffalo Bill Cody, denied a spot at the world’s fair, set up his Wild West show just outside the  fairgrounds. The Wild West shows created a mythology about Cowboys & Indians, especially in Europe, which was fascinated by the American Frontier. The show’s most popular cowgirl: Annie Oakley.Buffalo.Bill Buffalo.Bills.Wild.West.Show.1890.indians.with.headress.jpg annie.oakley.shooting.bareback.jpg annie.oakley wild.west.show.london.jpg Buffalo.Bill,wild.west.show.1899.jpg

More than 70 million people worldwide saw Buffalo Bill’s Wild West shows from 1883 until 1916. The shows had a cast and crew of 640, plus 400 horses, 40 buffalo, stage coaches and covered wagons. They performed for kings and queens across Europe. Here’s a History Channel program on the man & the myth:annie.oakley.poster.in.buffalo.bill.wild.west.show.jpg

A Desigual shirt for the Chinese New Year at Angel Vancouver

Posted on February 13, 2013 by angelvancouver

Here’s a Desigual shirt for the Chinese New Year. It’s called Mawu and is part of Desigual’s spring-summer line. Sure, it’s a Dragon on the shirt, and this is the year of the Snake. But dragons and snakes are highly compatible in the Chinese zodiac calendar and are revered in Chinese culture.

Also below is a dragon kids shirt I recently painted for a customer. See contact info below.

This Desigual "Mawu" polo shirt is available at Angel Vancouver (angelvancouver.com). We ship worldwide.

New men’s shirts from Desigual spring 2013 at Angel Vancouver (with video)

Posted on February 10, 2013 by angelvancouver

We have some stylin’ new shirts from Desigual’s spring-summer 2013 collection at Angel Vancouver, including a white shirt (called James, see photos below) with three subtle horizontal blue stripes that would look great under a sports jacket. There is also a cool red polo shirt (Mawu) with an embroidered dragon on the front, some Spanish lettering, a contrasting-coloured collar and some nice details on the sleeves; and the Eric T-shirt with stripes and Spanish phrases on the front. And for those who like to go bold and colourful, there are the wildly-patterned Finito and Pepito long-sleeved shirts. Also included below are photos of the Einstein and Marilyn Monroe shirts, plus some other men’s shirts from Desigual’s spring 2013 line, including a shirt with a retro Mustang muscle-car image.

Two new dresses from Desigual spring 2013 at Angel Vancouver

Posted on February 8, 2013 by angelvancouver

Desigual.Nagore.dress.$119Desigual.Issue.green.dress.$124Here are two new dresses from Desigual’s spring-summer 2013 collection, which are available at Angel Vancouver. The green one is called Issue; the price is $124. The grey one is called Nagore and it’s $119. The latter is a variation on a long-sleeved dress available from Desigual’s fall-winter collection, which we still have in stock in limited sizes.
It’s hard to think of wearing short-sleeved dresses at the moment with the temperatures hovering just above freezing in Vancouver, so we’ve included two new “Lala” sweaters to help you keep warm — one red, the other black.
Angel Vancouver has one of the most extensive collections of Desigual in Vancouver for men, women & kids.
We also specialize in custom hand-painted T-shirts, like the one worn below by Susan, a Vancouver jazz singer and jeweller (we carry her Jazzy Girl Designs jewellry). She’s wearing her Angel hand-painted heart T-shirt with a Desigual coat, called Suenos Liquidos, and Desigual leggings.
The cute little girl named Eden, who lives in Dublin, is wearing a hand-painted leopard T-shirt, an original Angel design.
Angel Vancouver is located at No. 2 Powell Street in the Gastown district of Vancouver, Canada. We’re on the corner of Powell & Carrall Street in Maple Tree Square, right across from the Europe Hotel and the Gassy Jack statue.

What they’re wearing at New York fashion week…lots of faux fur in bright colours

Posted on February 8, 2013 by angelvancouver

It seems like lots of people are wearing faux fur at New York fashion week, as photographed by WWD. But not mono colour faux fur — blended colours.

We also carry some Desigual faux fur coats, including a maxi coat called Boaba designed by Christian Lacroix — a one-of-a-kind coat that we have exclusively at Angel Vancouver. The coat was a sample that never went into production.

Angel Vancouver carries one of the most extensive collections of Desigual for men, women and kids in Vancouver. We also specialize in custom handpainted clothing. Call (604) 681-0947 or email me at jackie@angelpaint.com

Our store is located at No. 2 Powell in the Gastown district of Vancouver, Canada, right on the corner of Carrall Street in Maple Tree Square, which is where Vancouver began in the late 1800s.
