Spotlight Series: Urban Villa
Party Looks & Festival Style
In 2005, Urban Villa didn’t know it was going to be a Davie Village icon. Over the coming years, fashion changed, the West End grew, and Davie Village secured itself as Pride Central. Through it all, Davie Street nightlife anchored the neighbourhood as a party scene destination. Year after year, Urban Villa stayed true to its roots — a local hyperfocus on having the fashion the city needs to look hot. A new outfit for this weekend’s party is affordable and waiting on the rack at Urban Villa’s 1076 Davie storefront.
Express Yourself with Statement Fashion
We talked with the second generation of this family-owned business. Nick grew up knowing the West End was his family’s special neighbourhood. “When the whole family’s involved and the store’s open seven days a week, it means growing up knowing the West End well. Some of our long-term customers have been coming to us for their party outfits, leisure wear, summer bathing suits, and lingerie for an entire generation,” Nick said.
“The neighbourhood adopted us and they’ve never stopped cheering us on. We’re a go-to favourite for drag performers and film crews — we have a huge selection of wigs, boots, shoes, sandals, slippers. Men, women, unisex, day, night, beach, office, and school,” he added. If you need a knock-out party outfit tonight, or a Christmas suit that flashes — maybe you’re in the mood for an itty-bitty sequined number or mile-high heels. They have something for every age, body type, and budget. For your next rainbow-coloured bodysuit, fishnet stockings, cowboy hat, flared pants, boho sweats, or faux leather leggings — Urban Villa in Davie Village’s got you covered.
Everyday Wear, Shoes, Boots & Pasties
Back in the day, the Pride Parade stage was right out front of the store in Davie Village, and that’s where the party got started. Now, Urban Villa has weekend rave-wear, memorable wedding looks, music festival get-ups, Hallowe’en costumes, and unique gifts to surprise your special someone. Clothing is complemented with home features — bedding, towels, blankets, and curtains. It’s all about the look, the joy, the party. There’s a perfect crop-top or leopard-print bodysuit at prices you can afford.
