The long-awaited massive 230,000 square foot Nordstrom Vancouver flagship store is opening tomorrow, September 18, and fashionistas across the Metro area can hardly contain their excitement.

The American company launched with a bang on Wednesday with a swanky gala and a fashion show that put anything Vancouver Fashion Week can produce to shame. Celebrities such as Camilla Belle, Zachary Quinto, and Coco Rocha were spotted sipping cocktails and eating scrumptious looking appetizers.
