It was more cosmopolitan and some pipe Oprah that the three top-class professional women in Halifax discovered they had a common interest outside the law: All of them dream, housed in the fashion industry.

This tribe of women retail moves quickly.
"It crystallized for us," says Candace Thomas together on the speed with which it all came when she was discovered this summer, the business was for sale. Former owner was not fashionable women but I liked the property. "We said, 'now or never. Do we? We will use our destiny? "
Thomas and his co-owner, Lisa Deanne MacLeod and Gallivan, are partners in a large law firm in Halifax, Stewart McKelvey. She studied at the Faculty of Law, Dalhousie University and has been practicing for over 15 years.
The fourth woman, Katharine Perry, physiotherapist with a background in business. She lives in Toronto, but grew up in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and was the best friend of MacLeod, since they were the fifth
Only show MacLeod, who recently is at 42, at his age. (This is because it says it is the most recent.) For others they are "40-something." There are a couple to them, which are not involved in the shop. Three of these women have children, Perry has not.
They're loud, they laugh a lot, and they talked about each other as they sat down for an interview this week. And they recognize that, even if they have little experience in the fashion retail - except that all love to shop - they rely on the safety in numbers. It must keep their work schedule: No women considering leaving their day job.
"I think that covering our forces," said Gallivan, working practices and employment law. It is with MacLeod, the company buys in the course of his practice and Perry have MBAs. Thomas, who specializes in business law, also has a degree in fashion merchandising from the Fashion Institute of Canada.
You intend to leave the day's work for the store manager, but all will be involved for the purchase of clothing and accessories. They also work with designers at their new place. And Perry is a "retail research" for them in Toronto.
He was home Gallivan, after a meeting with a partner for one night six months ago that the three lawyers about, what they would do if they do not practice speaking right. That's when the passion for fashion has been raised.
"It was the first time I said it out loud to everyone," recalls Mr. Gallivan Said Thomas:. "I went home to think about Oprah:" Live your best life. To do things you want to do. "
A few days later they met again and wondered if anyone was serious. A few months later, they heard Mills was for sale and jumped at the opportunity.
For three of these women Mills was the chic department store where purchased their mothers and grandmothers for this special gift or a coat of quality.
But Thomas, who grew up during a time when the African Nova Scotian East Preston with 11 siblings and a single mother, Mills was not a place where his family shopped. She knew that she, as a woman in her community was a tailor there.
Now she and her partner have the name and the content of the Mills store nearly 8000 square meters. Keep the manager and the other 13 members of the staff, but they have not bought the mill Tudor building. Instead, women are the rehabilitation of an area of 9000 square meters only a few doors down from where now Mills.
They bought Mills by a local organizer, which greatly reduces the original store of 37,000 square meters. He bought the business in 2007 to about 8 million, according allnovascotia.com, the newspaper online business meets in the province.
They will not say how much it paid for the business, or if they all put in equal parts. However, they say that they are. All have the same voice in society
My dream is to become a new, modern approach to traditional business enough, and present new contemporary brands to make it so that women do not have to leave the province, a cocktail dress will find interesting business suit or a nice pair Shoes. MacLeod marked as "fine tuning" Mills - move under the established brand and the history and.
Their new space is ready, the business will remain open in its current location with the four helps cultivate the weekend. They were there on the day the transaction was made on Sunday, ready to present to customers.
Retail consultant Wendy Evans, president of Toronto-based Evans and Company Consultants Inc., has purchased at Mills calls it "a big step up from their side."
"They wanted to preserve what is obviously a big name," Evans said, adding that "what is required in nearly all major markets across Canada, is a place where you can buy the fashion market. .. a pleasant environment. "
