Secret Shame |
 |
 |
 |
Maybe
we're all bored with the current retail climate.
Or maybe we just like shaking things up. Either
way, whilst they're not new, and some have definitely
been far from clever, we can't help but get
a little excited at the thought of another illicit
pop up. And if it's somewhere where the beast
of luxury shame can't rear its ugly head, so
much the better.

Which
is why we're super excited about The Convenience
Store's 'Room Service' residency, starting tomorrow
at the stylish St Martins Lane Hotel. One of
West London's most innovative designer boutiques,
The Convenience Store stocks hard to find names
and avant-garde young designers with an edge.
Concentrating on hand picked, niche and somewhat
unconventional products unavailable elsewhere,
the space will stock an array of highly coveted
items such as Gareth Pugh's ventilated armour
pieces, a Rick Owens backless jumpsuit, Ann-Sofie
Back's goat suede-fringed dress, and Bruno Pieters'
Cubist tailoring, presented as main courses,
side dishes and desserts.
Now that's a bite out of fashion we definitely
want a piece of.

Next
on our Radar: Barbie's
in-store store at Dover Street Market.
Grab the Grande Dame's designer incarnations
by Rosksanda Ilinic and Danielle Scutt
this April. And if you have the moolah,
head over to The Palm's Barbie Suite (complete
with pieces from her Dream House) opening
in May.
Room Service served March 19-April 9,
Sun-Thurs: 12-8pm, Fri & Sat: 12-9pm.
Front Room at St Martins Lane Hotel,
