Soho Alive & Kicking: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Soho returning to its roots as the 21st Century Jimi Hendrix experience returns to its streets, for a few weeks at least, with the Jimi Hendrix Pop-up

“People, Hell & Angels” is the latest and most authentic posthumous album from the 60’s guitar hero. And to launch the album a unique Pop-up shop has arrived just off Carnaby Street, in a music launch that captures the life & spirit of that bygone, psychadelic age.

The store is home to the entire Hendrix catalgoue collection, merchandise and memorabilia, but to really soak up the Hendrix experience visit the basement. Here Fender, the instrument of choice for the guitar great, has taken its home for 2 weeks, displaying its range of guitars, with hourly masterclasses on re-creating the Hendrix sound for any budding guitar greats.

Fender Casting: Vendor-Varvatos in the Stratosphere

Jon Varvatos lays its musical card on the multi-channel table.

Cool by association as the brand immerses itself in the world of music. Green Day collaborate on fashion campaigns whilst Paul Weller performs exclusively in the Bowery Store. What the retailer lacks in genuine personality is more than made up for as it rubs up close to some of the most fashionable and eligable shoulders in Manhatten and beyond.

New York is awash with John Varvatos, from Converse collaborations to the distressed corners of Bloomingdales.

However on the eastside of the city discover the brand in its natural habitat lurking to surprise anyone passing The Bowery. The store is a temple to Rock ‘n’ Roll evoking the steamy atmospheres of underground clubs and crowded all night venues. The poster strewn walls evoke the great bands, reminiscing about historic improvised concerts and chance meetings with the hall of fame.

The store itself transforms into a venue with an intimate stage, set off with discarded instruments and the moodiest of lighting.

Take a visual tour through “Hackett’s Special Place”

Hackett’s new home is where the heart is.
Join me on a visual tour of the London flagship store

 

Moving 200 yards along Regent Street has taken the lifestyle retailer a million miles to a three level elegant emporium combining space to breathe with intimate corners and surprises around every eloquent elevation. Flagship brand distinction, engagement on an emotional level is the name of the Hackett game; and it plays to win. A selection of seductive services supply the brand soul, from the Beefeater Gin Bar, quenching the dry thirst, to the tailoring shop, and personalised monogram bar, wetting the appetite for that unique purchase. From top to bottom, a basement boutique for “young Britons” furnished with an ornamental tree whose live branches mark the seasons, a second floor Saturday shoe shining experience, the store pulls out the stops as it starts to create the very British buzz that is Hackett.
