London is a city with plenty to choose from when it comes to fashion. But If you want to find things which are quintessentially British in style, you'll have to leave the beaten track. This is what I discovered while walking through London's West End recently.
Bustling Oxford street is home to international brands which cater to the taste of the masses with clothes in the low to mid range price bracket. And Regent's street comprises brands at the top end of the market as befits the 'Italianate' facade's of the retail units. But it's only when you step down a side street, that you begin to find that which is truly British.
Savile Row occupies a small enclave behind Regent's street which connects you with the sartorial artisans who keep the Royal family in threads. Shop windows display clothes busts dressed in jackets at various stages of deconstruction, needles, chalk marks and all. And having discovered this hidden gem of a street, I began to think about what it was that made these clothes perennial favorites with the well heeled.
I debated this with a friend and came to the conclusion that it was the clean lines of the suits and the obviously superior construction that made them top of the cultural heap. It was also the simplicity of the cut of the cloth that imbued the wearer with imperious confidence. And so it's no wonder that Royalty, Presidents, and Global Statesmen choose to shop at Savile Row, as the clothes send a message before they have even greeted their counterparts.
And so it is with another British company, who's products echo the above sentiments. Ideal Standard is a name known, among discerning home buyers and businesses alike, for quality bathroom ware. Their products can be seen in high class restaurants and city offices and would no doubt find a home in a mansion on Hampsteads exclusive Bishop's Avenue. The 'Concept Sphere 4 Piece Bathroom Set' seems to adopt the design rules found in the stores on Savile Row; clean lines, robust construction, strong silhouette. And thus, when entering a bathroom with this product you can't help but feel that you're somewhere special.
So if one wants a bathroom with Savile Row excellence but Oxford Street prices, one might consider Ideal Standard.
