Barbour, Covent Garden
This flagship store for the purveyor of waxed jackets is finding favour with the urban set as it seeks to be all things to all style lovers.
Jacuzzi, Berlin
Bread & Butter gives the streetwear crowd a good excuse to visit Berlin’s retail hot spots – Jacuzzi is one of those worth stepping into.
Superdry, Croydon
The young fashion chain’s arrival is a much-needed boost for the town after last year’s riots and a lack of recent retail excitement.
Replay, Carnaby Street
The denim brand’s store in this young fashion mecca has been given a welcome revamp, but does it live up to last year’s excellent Paris flagship?
M&S Vs Next
It’s a tough time for the mid-market, so how are two of its prime movers looking in the run-up to Christmas? We visited M&S and Next’s Oxford Street stores, where the battle for festive sales is at its most intense
Forever 21, Westfield Stratford
The third Forever 21 to open in the UK is enormous and is one of the anchors at Westfield Stratford, but is it in a position to capitalise on Peacocks’ troubles?
Religion, Notting Hill
Will west London shoppers be worshipping at this cult young fashion brand’s Portobello Road store?
Onitsuka Tiger, Newburgh Street
Footwear brand Onitsuka Tiger goes for a sharp, minimalist look in keeping with its Japanese heritage. If only the product range wasn’t so minimal too.
Louis Vuitton Maison Vs Mulberry
Christmas remains important at the high end of the market, but when it comes to designer bags, will it be a Vuitton or Mulberry? With price not an issue in this rarified market, it’s all about the finer details.
