At the end of every year, we like to round up our favourite stories and most read stories and compile them for you our regular readers.  With major store closings, new store openings and great sales in between the stories on StyleDemocracy reflected Canada’s changing retail landscape. What you were interested and read spoke volumes.  In year’s past stories about luxury brands dominated our analytics, our readers were interested in getting the best luxury items and finding out where to get them at a discount.

This year the biggest stories mostly had to do with fast-fashion and discount brands appealing to mass markets. Stories about Dollarama, Miniso and the last Zellers in Canada dominated.  As consumers interest change we will always strive to bring you the content that interests you the most.

Here were your favourite stories of the year click the headlines to read more, and thank you for being a StyleDemocracy reader.
