    London shopping guide on men.style

    Just a heads up there are 5 short videos on men.style (http://men.style.com/fashion/style_notes/101706) about London shops including The Library and Dover Street Market. They talk about Junya Watanabe in the Dover Street Market segment and even flash to those awesome Raf Simons boots from this season. In The Library video, the owner talks quite a bit about CCP, I know that will made a lot of people on here happy.

    Thanks a lot, Case! That Library clip is priceless!



    Hey, Albert - see those tshirts hanging in CDiem fashion? Those are by Velvetmen. I wish the Library owner had talked a little about Volga Volga.

      They do the Velvetmen shirts at Sefton in Islington too. They're even softer than C&C but even more expensive too. Put a Hanes shirt in the wash 20 times and achieve the same effect!

        Interesting. Well, like I said in another thread, I buy mine for $15-20 at a discount store here. I'm sure they approach funny prices being exported to the UK from the US + taxes, etc. etc.

            Better yet, look out for me.

                Huh, so that's what Brix from The Fall does now...so has anyone here been to Start yet? It looks somewhat promising.Thanks for the head's up, casem83.

                  I've popped in a few times, mainly intrigued by the Brix connection (I'm a Fall nut). Most of the mens' stock is a bit lad-ish for my taste. It doesn't have the individual character of a place like B-Store, Souvenir etc. It's much more directly commerical. Comparable with Diverse in Islington I guess. However, they do stock some good things. I bough two stripey Demeulemeester knits at the end of the summer sale there at 75% off (£60 each!) and have pretty much lived in them ever since.



                  There are three shops all on the same street: womens', mens' and accessories. It's worth a trip anyway.

                    Start is a fairly nice store. The staff has always been extremely helpful to me. I think you'll find dontbecruel's comments on its stock to be fairly accurate. It is a bit more mainstreamish, but nonetheless, worth a visit. The only thing I can remember about the stock in the women's store is Karen Walker.

                      Thanks a lot dontbecurel and sbw4224; I will add Start to my list of shops to visit next time I'm in London. (Actually I'd probably go anyway even if both of you had said it was rubbish - being something of a Fall nut myself - but it's nice to hear that it won't be a complete waste of time.) I took a peek at their website, and it looks like they stock an interesting mix of labels in the women's dept...

                        For some reason I thought you lived in London actually.

                          Nope, I live in the Netherlands. I'm usually in London every few months for business-related reasons though.
