On the British high street we are lucky to have a vast array of shops that cater to every sartorial need of the modern gent.
It’s refreshing to see some high street chains taking a more fun, innovative and unique approach – creating retail spaces that are actually enjoyable to spend time in. Whilst brightly lit stores with clearly marked product displays are all well and good when you’re in a rush to buy staple pieces, it’s nice to be able to enter a relaxed shopping environment that is much more about having fun, chilling out and connecting.
The newly opened Urban Outfitters Camden Store (located outside Camden Town tube station) , with a much more engaging layout, this well thought out retail space seems to take the brand’s quirky approach to new heights.
Entering the store for the first time, we immediately noticed a library area where shoppers were reading books, chatting and enjoying the live DJ. The interior was full of art installations and interactive zones of creativity, whilst a photo booth provided yet another chance for shoppers to interact socially.
The store houses an impressive mix of brands, with the brand’s own labels (Shore Leave in particular) continuing to produce high quality, on trend pieces at an extremely accessible price point.
It wouldn’t be an Urban Outfitters without a selection of home wear and an assortment of kitsch products thrown into the mix – and the brand does not disappoint everyone! Visitors to the store should be sure to not overlook its impressive and varied selection of well curated books.
