HELLO! Exclusive. Canada’s Best Dressed
Meet the sensationally style-savvy Canadians who blaze a trail through life.

Cristina Linden

WHO: Owner of Vancouver’s fashion-forward clothing boutique Basquiat
DEVOTED RINK RAT: Wife of retired hockey star Trevor Linden, former captain of the Vancouver Canucks
BACK TO BLACK: “I like simplicity, clean lines and muted colours – predominantly black. Because I do wear a lot of black, I like to wear different textures. I love to accessorize, whether it’s a scarf or a necklace or lots of bracelets.”
DRESSED TO IMPRESS: “For a big date night, I love to put on a short dress with high heels – one of my favourite looks since I’m so petite. Or skinny pants with a great top and blazer.”
LUSTS AFTER: Anything from Ilaria Nistri, Jenny Kayne, Yigal Azrouel or Helmut Lang.
LASTING LOVE: “I’ve been interested in fashion since I was a little girl. I remember getting very excited when my mom’s Vogue came through the mail slot every month.”
