Gucci's renovated London store unveiled

Gucci unveils its newly renovated London flagship store as designed by Creative Director Frida Giannini. To celebrate the opening a unique selection of products have also been designed which are available exclusively to the Sloane Street store.

"I wanted to amplify the luxurious and intimate sensibility of the Gucci boutique environment to create an aesthetic that complements the history of the house, but at the same time ensures that it is thoroughly contemporary.
This design concept is a modern architectural statement that references iconic materials and elements from the past. Of course my emphasis has been to create backdrop to showcase the various collections in the strongest possible way."

The Sloane Street store was first opened in 1990 and covers 20,000 square feet over two floors. It is the fifth store in the world to reflect the new concept of Frida Giannini other stores include New York's Fifth Avenue, Rome's Via Condotti, Munich's Maximilian Strasse and Hong Kong's Canton Road.

Not just....

Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe Y&R (RKCR/Y&R) are the advertsising agency that designed the well known Not Just food, M&S Food campaign. These adverts have the tagline "This is not just food, this is M&S food" and feature slow motion, close-up footage of various food products. It was judged the most effective marketing campaign and caused a national stampede on hot chocolate puddings.

They also design the advertisments and print campaigns for the womens, mens and childrens wear departments and Plan A promotions.

Magma

Magma (UK) expanded its brand a few months ago by opening it's first Multi-Purpose product shop, designed by architects Julie Blum and Nikki Blustin. The eco friendly shelving is made out of treated cardboard and these specially designed units (and counters and changing-rooms) come flat-packed, to be unfolded and built up "according to how many coffee cups are spilled on them."

This new store looks like something straight out of Michel Gondry's Science of Sleep, and is a present buyers dream come true. Jam packed full of the interesting, inspiring, unique and the quirky gifts from big brands, to one off local designs, be sure to check out this store when next in London (don't forget to also check out their flagship bookstore a few doors down) By Brendan Mc Knight Via The Cool Hunter

My MY

MY MY is a US-based website run by Taryn Hipp selling 'handmade and totally awesome' goodies! They showcase the talent of independent artists, crafters & zinesters from the US & around the world. I particularly like their children's apparel which features some cool prints and applique, and the plush which is really cute and quirky.

They also have some cool papergoods including a small selection of greetings cards, calendars and journals, as well as a massive selection of funny buttons. (that's badges to you and me)

ReForm School

ReForm School online shop... the online version of the LA based shop owned by funky dudes Billie and Tootie. (That name is so cool I might name my kids that. All of them.)

I especially love the website, it's totally super-cool.

The shop has a really ecclectic mix of stuff for the home, accessories, art, kid's stuff and handmade items, and a lot of products have a strong eco-friendly focus which is always good news. Good to browse if you've got a few minutes, like if you're waiting for the NRG to decide if it's going to print your document at some point this year....

Fishy Fashion

Been a bit quiet on the threadless front recently, but am back with 'Der-dum Der-dum dum dum dum dum...' my homage to Jaws & all things dodgy in the deep. Very graphical & a front & back design to show the flip side of happy swimmers & impending doom. Click on to Chief Brody to gnaw your approval. Ta.
