Urban species
Article Abstract:
US clothing chain Urban Outfitters has chosen Kensington High Street in London, England, as the location for its first outlet in Europe. The new store, which will sell labels sourced from the UK, aims to attract people aged between 18 and 25. There will be some clothes from established designers, including Evisu and G-Star, but other clothes will until now only have been sold through street markets. The store is very consciously anti-establishment.
