A walk through London where designer shops are most prominent, made me aware of the significance of their locations and the part they play in reaching specific consumers and the visual presence they have.
Here are some of the places I found most notable from the cluster walk.
Regent Street / Conduit Street
- Regent Street is the world's first shopping district
- Was designed to link Regents Park to Buckingham Palace
- Home to brands like Liberty and Chruch's shoes and Burberry.
- Conduit Street is home to like Moschino, Vivienne Westwood, Crombie, Donna Karen, Belstaff, Issey Miyake, Yoji Yamamoto and Dior and Sketch (original Dior showroom)
