in Lanes. Trendy, fashionable clothes at a reasonable price is the concept behind the Iatest store to open in Whitby Lanes. Danielle Champagne Knitwear and Fashion Accessories is operated by Danielle Champagne and Linda McGarry, both former students of the International Academy of Merchandising and Design, a fashion school in Toronto. This is the first store for Cham- pagne, who along with McGarry, offers original design sweaters. They both hope to add more items of clothing to their lines as the store gains a reputation in Whitby. Champagne, from northern On- tario, moved to Oshawa a year ago. "I was' looking for retail space in Oshawa when I heard about the ehanges going on in Whitby," says Champagne, adding she spotted Whitby Lanes while shopping in Whitby. "I thought this (Whitby Lanes) was pretty and not cold looking. " Danielle Champagne will offer women's fashions in knitwear and leather for the first few months the store is open, then, as more styles arrive (mainly from Montreal), fashions will be available for men and children. The store's grand opening ceremony was Saturday, Sept. 12, during Heritage Day in downtown Whitby.
