Folio.YVR Luxury Lifestyle Magazine Unveils Issue #33 with Fred Lee, Vancouver's Inimitable 'Man About Town'

Folio.YVR Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, the definitive luxury digital publication of Canada's West Coast, proudly announces the launch of Issue #33. Renowned for its editorial depth, ad-free aesthetic, and sophisticated lens into the region's most elevated experiences, Folio.YVR continues to capture the essence of refined West Coast living through a curated focus on fashion, design, travel, gastronomy, art, and culture.

This latest issue opens with an exclusive feature on the legacy of Fred Lee, Vancouver's inimitable 'Man About Town.' For more than three decades, Lee has been the voice and spirit behind countless philanthropic and social events, capturing the pulse of the city while bringing people together with purpose and joy. His reflections in this issue offer a rare glimpse into the heart of a man who has long stood at the crossroads of community and culture.

"Fred Lee is not only a chronicler of our city's stories-he is one of its most vital voices," says Folio.YVR Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, Helen Siwak. "This issue of Folio.YVR honours all of us with stories that reflect the richness of our creative communities, the innovation that drives our industries, and the people whose passion continues to shape the cultural and social fabric of our region."

Issue #33 continues to spotlight creative brilliance, beginning with Angela Hewitt (Showcase Pianos Presents), the acclaimed virtuoso whose performance at the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra reaffirms music's transformative power. At Gallery Jones, visual artist Kriss Munsya unpacks identity, memory, and social perception in a deeply personal series. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Art Gallery's 'Riopelle: Crossroads in Time' honours one of Canada's most visionary modern artists in a sweeping and emotional retrospective.

The magazine's CELEBRATE section features 'The AVK Wedding' of Aleem Kassam and Victor Kazakov at Phantom Creek Estates in Oliver, BC, an event that merged intention, design, and love with spectacular style. Hatley Park, one of Western Canada's most enchanting wedding venues, is also profiled for its romantic grandeur.

In lifestyle and luxury, Folio.YVR explores the relaunch of the Tai Pan Penthouse Suite at the Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver, and presents the refined, plant-based dining experience at Diva at the Met. With features on the BLOSSOM TIME Collection by Swatch, the Quasar Series by Colibri, the debut of the Range Rover London Collection, and the electric performance of the Porsche Taycan GTS, the magazine celebrates objects and experiences that elevate daily life. The issue concludes with an inspired look at Watches and Wonders 2025, affirming Vancouver's place in the global conversation on horological excellence.

Folio.YVR is more than a magazine-it is a lifestyle guide for those who seek inspiration, indulgence, and cultural insight into Canada's West Coast.
