Murakami’s The Octopus Eats its Own Leg exhibition was also on display at the Vancouver Art Gallery earlier this year.

The OVO store will be located at 1044 Robson Street, replacing the now-closed location of Boys’Co. The 2,000-sq-ft retail unit is wedged between Monaco and a gift shop.

Drake launched his OVO clothing brand in 2011 with a collaboration with Roots Canada. Since then, other collaborations have included Nike, Canada Goose, Timberland, Clarks, and the NBA Toronto Raptors, with items focusing on jerseys, track jackets, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and baseball hats.
