Two British icons

Many famous British retail names are represented in the Los Angeles area. Most of these are in the fashion and luxury goods businesses, in which Britain excels. Asprey, Graff, Burberry, Turnbull and Asser, Jimmy Choo, Smythson and Alfred Dunhill are on Rodeo Drive. Stella McCartney, Alice Temperley, Paul Smith, Alexander McQueen and Karen Millen are on Melrose. Zandra Rhodes, another legendary British designer, lives in Southern California. Iconic British cars such as Bentley and Jaguar are best sellers in California. Other British retailers include new arrival Tesco (trading in California as “Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Markets”), WH Smith, Body Shop and Boots.
