Anthropologie first store in London



Friday was the launch of the first European Anthropologie store in Regent Street, London. I have heard so much about it in so many american blogs that I was quite excited by this new. Anthropologie is an american shop, created by the team behind Urban Outfitter. It is more of a lifestyle brand than just a clothing brand as they also sell accessories and homeware. I went there on the opening and they kindly let me take some pictures. I was amazed by the shop fitting. From outsite, the shop looks rather small compared to other stores in the area. But once inside, I was quite impressed by the space_ it goes on three floors...
The most striking feature is the 50 ft (15.24 m) high hydroponic wall that grows plants vertically. Sculpture made of recycled plastic bottles and painted in vibrant red and orange tones make for a beautiful contrast. The store also features various art pieces, antique textiles and a huge British flag quilt! This probably justifies their high price tags so for the moment it will just remain a sight for sore eyes!!!
