My favorite part about this blog besides not mincing words, is being able to relay my experiences from all over the world. This holiday season. I found myself in the place I love more than watching any live gang bang, that’s right people, London. England has always been my other home. The people, the culture, the food contrary to popular belief(the English are the best at exploiting other people’s cultures), the music and the fashion.
So there’s this real cool men’s shop called Nom de Plume in London that I have been going to for about 10 years now. Let’s put it this way, every time I come to London to visit my family, I make it a point to stop by Nom de Plume and say hello to my good friend who owns it. Nom de Plume is a very authentic men’s boutique that houses some of the coolest most avant guard designers without the ridiculous prices you would pay and the snotty twattitude you would receive at let say a luxury department store.
The interior of the store is small, but captures that original boutique feel with tons of personality and character. Since the owner himself is very much in tune with fashion and has his own style and handles the business completely himself, you can see how his charming but hip taste is detailed in various parts of the store, whether it be displays, the cool modern yet vintage commercial grade espresso machine, or various words or phrases he finds fascinating which are subliminal yet in your face and makes you want to stay for hours and drop some cash. Each client is dealing with and getting the absolute best personal service in the most relaxed atmosphere because you are dealing with the owner who has the most amazing eye and you can actually have a real conversation with him about anything really!
Even the designers he has chosen to carry are not the run of the mill stuff that you would think of as high fashion, but they are absolutely the most well respected and create an every day wearing sensibility and are quite exclusive and not massed produced. Even the fragrance he carries is very exclusive and has a small press release presented next to the tester bottle which is called Escentric Molecules and reads “Since its launch at Harvey Nichols in the UK in April 2006, Escentric Molecules has proved runway international success. It has made US Weekly’s Buzz-o-Meter, it was an Obsession for Fashion Wire Daily, and item of the week on Style.com. It sold out in 48 hours in Australia-and it’s still Harvey Nicks’ top seller”
So, if your in Southwest London, stop by Nom de Plume located on 198 Upper Richmond Rd.W London SW14 8AN, get a fashion experience second to none, ask for the owner and tell him JF sent you.
