Hey guys! Can anyone recommend the best malls/shops (that houses brands like Comme des Garcons, Margiela, Jil Sander, Balenciaga, Prada and the likes) in Vancouver and British Columbia? Might visit this coming Spring, and I'd like to know the hippest place to go shopping!

Pretty much most designer stuff is found in the downtown area. Here are some stores you could visit for those brands:

Pacific Centre (the major mall in downtown)

Holt Renfrew

Leone
http://www.leone.ca/

Harry Rosen
http://www.harryrosen.com/

That's all I can think of for now...if you're interested in streetwear, here are some of my favourites:

Roden Gray

Gravity Pope

Komakino

Komakino is now closed. Komakino will be shifting to Version 7.0 - which will be… online, only!

The worst thing about Vancouver shopping is... not only can't you seem to buy anything online, but can't even browse online. Other than Gravity Pope maybe. Is this a Canadian thing do you think? You would think Holt Renfrew would have online shopping. Their website totally blows! In the States you can shop online at Neiman's, Nordstrom, Saks, Bergdorf's etc, not to mention the smaller boutiques and individual designer's websites. At least almost every major US retailer is shipping to Canada now. I hope our retailers sit up and take notice that every day they are without e-commercethey're losing money to the US. Is it just me or am I being a bit unreasonable? Sorry for the rant my fellow Vancouverites!

^Plus the fact that Vancouver shops charge additional VATs.
