Smock

Fashion-forward threads on Drury Street
Word to the wise: The boutique is next door to George's Street Arcade, a good hunting ground for vintage gear.

A beautiful old Georgian townhouse is the location for this collection of cult fashion labels from New York, London, Antwerp and Paris.
Originally established in the more bohemian Temple Bar, Smock has grown up and traded up to the more exclusive Drury Street without losing any of its edge. Big gun labels along the lines of Vivienne Westwood and Dries van Noten hang shoulder to shoulder with equally covetable lesser known names such as print maestro David Szeto.

Exclusivity comes at a price and this is not the place for bargains, but there's none of the snootiness often found in such fashionable haunts.
