Shoreditch is dead – or so it was declared something approaching a decade ago. Well, we have news for you. It’s not dead, not even close. In fact, all’s good in the hood. Just take one look at London’s king of alt-cool, The Goodhood Store, fighting for Shoreditch’s right to attend the beatnik block party…
Opened by fashion insiders Kyle Stewart and Jo Sindle, this hipcat haven has recently upgraded to a capacious 3,000-sq-ft space, into which dandy and Scandi-hungry east-enders flood in search of the latest threads, furny, or simply a flat white to recharge.
But this isn’t style over substance; GH delivers on the goods too. The light-filled, loft-like boutique houses an established edit of avant-garde men’s and womenswear, from game-changers like Comme des Garçons and Maison Martin Margiela to up-and-coming trend-benders Unused and YMC, as well as a full range of kidswear to keep the mini-mes in up-to-the-minute style.
Head-to-toe casj luxe outfit sorted, what’s next? The Goodhood Store helps style-thirsty sybarites transform their homes into bastions of cool, with statement curios, exposed Edison light bulbs, and fab fragrances. Now, what was that about Shoreditch being over?
