London's fashion credentials have been given a boost with the cult US store Anthropologie opening on Regent Street.
Likened by the industry to the launch of Topshop in New York, the opening is the first for the brand in Europe. Another London store is due to open in Kings Road in the spring.
The city last month celebrated London fashion week's 25th anniversary, which attracted designer collections including Burberry, Matthew Williamson and Pringle.
A handful of people clustered around the doors before the shop opened today, but when they were let in there was more polite browsing than a mad rush for key pieces. Anthropologie, a sister brand to Urban Outfitters, is known for unusual, quirky designs and has grown from one store in Philadelphia to 130 stores across North America. It specialises in vintage style clothes, accessories, jewellery, notebooks, decorations and homeware. The centrepiece of the London shop is a living green wall of plants that stretches over three floors.
