Do you know about Other Shop? Oh yes you do, it’s the store formerly known as B Store.

Examples: Peter Jensen, Christophe Lemaire, Our Legacy. Others are recent graduates or just not very shouty brands. (more…)

Originally from Poznan in Poland, she lives with a flatmate in King’s Cross where she can be found when not studying at Central St Martins nearby. (more…)
