Last fall, I headed to downtown Hamilton’s monthly art crawl looking for BOW, a fashion truck that is an extension of a retail store in Guelph called Blush Shop. I got there a little too late, but I thought the concept was neat given the huge popularity of food trucks. I pitched it to Elle Canada and was assigned a small piece to accompany a package in the magazine about the changing face of retail in the April 2013 issue.
