CONGRATULATIONS, IT'S SABO!
When it comes to sterling silver jewelry, everyone knows about Tiffany. Those more in tune with fashion will also be quick to mention Links of London. Fewer people will know about Germanys Thomas Sabo. But thats about to change as the jewelry label opens its 884-square-foot Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»storefront next week at Oakridge Centre (650 W. 41st). Where Tiffany is the epitome of the timeless classic and Links represents a cheeky twist on tasteful design, Thomas Sabos bracelets, charms (pictured at left) and watches are whimsical, kitschy and edgy all at once the sartorial equivalent of a fluffy Top 40 pop night in an underground Berlin leather club. (As if to drive their aesthetic point home, the company chose pop princess Katy Perry to be their first ever global brand ambassador. Side note: the rock n roll male model on their website looks conspicuously like Perrys husband, comedian Russell Brand.) The new location will be the labels fourth Canadian shop since opening the doors of its Toronto flagship in tony Yorkdale in April.
