ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SHOE SHOP
(uno dei midi negozi di scarpe preferiti
www.irregularchoice.com
In August 1999, Irregular Choice was launched from the quaint seaside town of Brighton on the south coast of England, by design entrepreneur Dan Sullivan.
Over the last 10 years Irregular Choice has carved itself a niche and inadvertently founded itself a fan club. Having had collaborations with some of the worlds most sought after brands and designers, we are constantly pushing the boundaries with each collection.
Flashing lights and shooting stars, graffitied forests and spaceship rainbows are just some of the surroundings when you step into an Irregular Choice store. You feel transported to a land of gothic Lolita covens with platforms, booties and pumps in all shapes and sizes adorning the rose printed walls.
(Nel 1999 nasce Irregular Choice, da un'idea del designer Dan Sullivan, da piu di dieci anni IC è diventanto il negozio alternativo per antonomasia, un posto dove trovare scarpe mai viste prima, uniche e in edizione limitata)

Carnaby Book exchange
www.carnaby.co.uk/news/news_item.cfm?id=290
This is a particular store.
(questo è un negozio particulare, non si vende e non si compra, si scambia e basta)
The Carnaby Book Exchange is a space where you can pick up a book, relax in an armchair and explore the vast expanses of fashion, travel, music, photography, design and history, to name but a few topics. You are able to leave a book that you have read, and in return take one away from the space for free.
The project has been curated by the MA Fashion Curation students at London College of Fashion. Located in Kingly Court, just off Carnaby Street, you can even share your thoughts and recommendations on the book you are leaving behind, with the swapping concept not only involving the sharing of books, but also the sharing of memories. Carnaby is world renowned for being an incubator for fashion, music and style-tribes. The Carnaby Book Exchange will serve as an incubator for a passion shared, at what will possibly be London’s most diverse book club.
(questo è uno spazio in cui si puo andare, lasciare un libro e prenderne un altro, oppure sedersi e prendersi il tempo di esplorare i volumi di moda, viaggio, fotografia, design e storia. Il progetto è curato dal London Colelge of Fashion e l'intento è quello che condividere la cultura, scambiare non solo libri, ma memorie che di questi libri ne facciamo).
