Modern Times At Hazelton Lanes
Hazelton Lanes has re-emerged as a 'neighbourhood shopping centre', albeit with some luxury brands still in place. Stores such as Hugo Nicholson, Nanni, and Contrasta carry world-class luxury brands, some of which are exclusive to Toronto and even Canada. Carolina Herrera, Cole Haan, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Hugo Boss, Manolo Blahnik, Oscar de la Renta, Roberto Cavalli, Salvatore Ferragamo, Stuart Weitzman, Valentino, and Versace are all international brands that can be found inside retailers at the mall. Hazelton Lanes is also home to a fitness spa and the first (and one of only three) Whole Foods Market natural foods grocers in the Greater Toronto Area. All in all there are more than 64 high-end boutiques and services spanning fashion, beauty, jewellery, home decor, and restaurants.
The mall is located in the heart of the Bloor-Yorkville area, Toronto's renowned shopping and entertainment district. It is a short walk away from five star hotels and the city's best restaurants, museums, and galleries and thus Hazelton Lanes has regained much of the status it had before the recession.
Celebrity sightings at Hazelton Lanes have included: Carmen Electra, Mischa Barton, Carson Kressley from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Nelly Furtado, Dustin Hoffman, Keshia Chante, Hilary Duff and Mira Sorvino, in addition to many other rock stars, teen idols, athletes, and Hollywood celebrities.

Famous quotes containing the words modern, times and/or lanes:
“As they get more nuclear
And more bigoted in reliance
On the gospel of modern science ...”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“But parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. Parents can appreciate the fact that these phases are not easy for the child to live through either; rapid growth times are hard on a child. Perhaps it’s a small comfort to know that the harder-to-live-with stages do alternate with the calmer times,so parents can count on getting periodic breaks.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“freeways fifty lanes wide
on a concrete continent
spaced with bland billboards
illustrating imbecile illusions of happiness”
—Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
