Pssst! Can you keep a secret?
Article Abstract:
There are a number of fashion shops in London, England, which have a very low profile. Few people therefore know of their existence, and those who do wish to keep this a secret, as they do not wish others to share the pleasure of visiting these shops. The most established secret fashion shop is The Cross, where there are many interesting high fashion and lifestyle items. Others include Voyage, for which a membership card is required, Koh Samui, which stocks many clothes indicating future fashion trends, and Angela Hale, which sells a wide range of jewellery and small items.

Don't call it kids' stuff
Article Abstract:
Teenagers have very fixed views about their clothing likes and dislikes. Most importantly, they are determined to have the same clothes as their friends. Many teenagers, both boys and girls, favour casual clothing with a sporty look, but some girls also like glamorous clothes such as crop-tops and tight jeans. Teenage girls frequently shop in Miss Selfridge or Top Shop, shops that have traditionally attracted young women. Boys generally choose practical clothes with a recognized brand name, while girls like bright colours.
