‘Wish You Were Here’ (August 19, 2009)
This Autumn prepare for a transatlantic experience. From August 20th to September 13th a celebrated slice of London will descend on New York’s Lower East Side, followed in October by a reciprocal visit to the Newburgh Quarter featuring Big Apple’s best. This is a unique event with an exchange of 30 independent boutiques reflecting signature trends in the form of fashion, accessories and lifestyle elements set within exciting ‘popup’ shops. All designers taking part in this project will be completely new to each city, bringing an element of welcome surprise emphasizing each other’s desirable design diversity. The Newburgh Quarter and Lower East Side have, for several decades, been renowned for their individual styles – edgy, vibrant, fun and punchy, also in their own way, iconically metropolitan.
