Abercrombie and Bond (Street)
Saturday, July 15, 2006
OK so this is how I see it...Americans wear Hackett because they cannot buy it very easily in the States.
We buy Abercrombie for the same reason (of course I mean official stuff purchased when visiting the States and not cheap market knock offs).
But now that's all about to change as this photograph proves... We came out of the Royal Academy of Arts today and were greeted by this bloody great billboard advertising the opening of a new store - the first in the UK (and the first in Europe?). And where have they had the cheek to open it - Saville Row!
Oh the irony!
I wonder if they'll be able to staff it with cute American college types or whether the store will be over run with uber queens from Soho?
One thing I know is that this will make A&F more mainstream in the UK which is a good reason to find a new label...
Why Esra, why?!
(PS We had a great time at the Summer Exhibition, sadly the work I wanted to purchase was already sold. There are a couple of photo's of the rather creepy Virgin Mother statue which dwarfs the courtyard of the Royal Academy (by Damien Hirst)).
