London Recap
March 30th, 2010 by Frans Prins Posted in Blog
Friday night I spent with the Latvian-Japanese crew of London Trousers (picture), a young, high end jeans brand who run their office from the rooftop bar of the Hospital Club, a membership club for the creative industries. I like the art work around London Trousers a lot, and one wouldn’t guess in the first place that their jeans are produced with organic cotton.
On Saturday I payed short visits to the boutiques Equa and Ascension and later in the day came to the opening of the Pop Up Store of the Environmental Justice Foundation, a three floor store & event space in high street. Located at 57 Carnaby street, it will be still open in the coming six weeks for shopping and a row of events. There I met with Ben from Pants to Poverty, the world leading anti-poverty underwear brand…
In the afternoon I had a walk, and accidently met a group of about fifteen community gardeners, who where just building a garden at a channel side. I joined them for a while to help, and got invited for a lovely lunch and tea on a boat house. With all the stress and speed of the city, it felt great to meet people who where so open and spent their day building a garden in public space.
Slow sweet slow.
