Unseen Fashion Boutiques in London
It’s fair to say, style-minded Londoners have never been shy about making a statement. With many residents in the capital’s more trendy districts insisting they must have the right look before popping down to the corner shop to buy a pint of milk in the morning. Naturally, such a fashion conscious city has a plethora of high-end shops and boutiques to service an ever burgeoning population of trend-conscious fashionistas. However, with such a crowded fashion-scene it can be difficult to stay ahead of the curve. Here are our favourite lesser-known London boutiques to help you avoid the horror of homogeneous fashion ubiquity!
A Woven History: From Cashmere to Cotton Clothing
The process of making clothing has been heavily influenced by the increase in trade and exploration. As long as mankind has been setting off in boats or by land to explore foreign and alien lands, traders and merchants have brought back treasures that have inexorably shaped the way things are made and life is lived. Cloth is no exception, and colonization and warfare have meant that items once only found in a certain geographical region were exported to a colonizing or war-making culture and adopted and turned into something different altogether.
Enjoying A Short Break In The City Of London
I often visit London because I am a die-hard Manchester United fan and so whenever we have away games against one of the London teams, I take the Thursday and Monday off work and enjoy a long weekend in the capital with my wife. Because it is so expensive to find decent accommodation in the city, I normally employ lastminute.com’s ‘Secret Hotel’ deal, whereby one is able to get unbelievable discounts on rooms in four and five star establishments due to the fact that one is booking last minute and so most likely the rooms would just be sitting empty otherwise: it’s win-win for the customer and the hotel. More and more hotels are getting involved with the scheme so I would certainly recommend having a look on the website before booking your room as you might well get very lucky.
