Topshop

Topshop are placed in old building in Oxford Street but it feels like the building has transformed for the store. No matter the time, the store is filled with people, as this is the flagship store.

The displays showcased a Gothic style and it's  obvious that Halloween is coming up. The feel is edgy and trendy and aimed at young people or young adults. Window display are very interesting and beautiful. The store is clean and organized by trend. 

 You can have basket to fill in and the staff is wearing a logo T-shirt. Staff is available at fitting rooms.

The Gothic collection is contemporary and edgy. It has lot of lace, leather, velvet, sequins  and studs. Also death imagery; bones, skulls, and etc. Religious imagery; crosses.

Romantic details that create a huge distinction between goths and punks, such as flowers and organic forums. Shapes are most flowing, long and drapey. Mannequins have Gothic details like make-up and hair with melted wax.

The colours are neutrals, oxblood, blue, army green, black and cream.

The collection has accessories and make-up

The store is online, on Twitter and Facebook.

Liberty

Since 1875, Liberty has been synonymous with luxury and great design. Arthur Liberty’s intuitive vision and pioneering spirit led him to travel the world looking for individual pieces to inspire and excite his discerning clientele. Liberty is not just a name above the door, it’s Arthur Liberty’s legacy, which stands for integrity, value, quality and above all beautifully designed product. This vision and spirit continues today within the iconic Tudor building.

Oscar Wilde

“Liberty is the chosen

resort of the artistic

shopper.”

Kalda

I'm proud to say that there are Icelandic designers, Katrín Alda and Rebekka Rafnsdottir  selling their collections in Liberty

New Icelandic label Kalda has become known for its effortless and distinctive wardrobe stables with great attention to detail. Think floaty silk separates with leather accents and dark, texture inspired prints for a toughened feminine silhouette.

 Kalda’s autumn/ winter 12 collection utilizes natural surface photographic prints on silk dresses and shirts to create an understated yet eccentric aesthetic with a laid back come-hither look. 

Available exclusively at Liberty.

When new and exclusive brand Kalda hit the Liberty shelves I wanted to find out more about this chic and sophisticated collection. Sisters Katrín Alda and Rebekka Rafnsdottir favour minimalistic design, paring down whilst at the same time retaining a distinctive and contemporary edge. 

They opened a shop Einvera in Reykjavík and started to make their own clothes to sell there. It went really well so they decided to make an independent brand of their creations. They took it slowly in the beginning and just made few pieces of each garment to find the road they wanted to take. In may 2011 they begin to sell their Brands in Liberty.

Alexander McQUEEN

All the famous Brands are in Liberty such as Acne, Ralph Lauren, Sonia Rykel, Vince, Kenzo, Black Label,  Day Birger et  Mikkelsen and many more. 

The mane colours there is blue, red, army green, curry yellow and burgundy.

Burgundy slip on jersey dress featuring long sleeves, draped cowl neckline and gathering at waist and asymmetric hem

My favorite colour this Autumn is burgundy ;)

Selfridges

Selfridges in Christmas clothes

I think everyone knows that Selfridges is the one of London’s most famous stores. When I visited the store, all I could see were the striking window displays promoting the Alexander Mcqueen and other famous  designers. When entering the store, large  gold and white christmas bells were hanging in the ceiling in the hallway and they went up and down in the air. I'ts was amazing to see.  After exploring the collection of bags, ready-to-wear, shoes and other accessories I focused on the rest of the store. I noted the high ceilings, the white walls and the bold displays with high fashion mannequins. You’d think being a store that sells branded labels that the demographics would be just of the higher class, however  there is a mixture of people as Selfridges has become a tourist attraction over the years. The staff here are very formal and professional and I would say that  Selfridges is a great store for everyone to browse for whatever occasion.
