Originally founded as a men's hat shop, Formans opened its doors in 1948. It evolved into men's clothing boutique in 1959, and by 1985, it was on the edge of the fashion industry offering a more unique and distinctive look. Several European Brands were introduced to Calgary and Western Canada that significantly redefined the men's wear industry. It's this pioneering spirit that defines Formans vision.

Historically... Formans was recognized as a unique, trendy independant retailer that has been outfitting men for 48 years. With over 4 decades of experience, it has developed a loyal and consistent clientele that continues to grow as the company grows. Recently, it relocated to a Heritage award winning building in the revitalizing community of Victoria Crossing. Here, the company became Formans Fashion Group, earning critical acclaim for the opening of its women's division in 2004.

Today... the company is one of the leading independant retailers in the fashion industry, wardrobing both men and women in Calgary with international designers from the World's runways. With this global perspective, Formans is playing a key role in defining an urbane lifestyle to Calgary's newfound cultural tapestry. This is Who We Are Today.
