indePENDANT PUBLISHING

the highly anticipated release date has come as Independent London Store Guide's second incarnation has hit independent retailers, leaving us humbled to grace the cover of said issue #2!!

Independent London are reknowned crusaders for the plight of the independent retailer & this weekend they release their follow up to the very successful issue 1. their store guide features the best of London's independent shops & comes complete with reviews, photos, maps & plenty more. Moritz & Effie do this in their typical pioneering style, in full support of the independent in the face of franchise domination & vacuous redevelopment. we too at the other side of the pillow have similar befief systems & join their cause in celebration of the diversity of London's streets in opposition to the homogenous high street.














as such, the attitude of gratitude goes out to Effie & Moritz for considering us for this issue. we will be stocking copies in the very near future & a launch event on Wilton way is in the pipeline, coinciding with the issue #2 feature on this most becoming of streets. in the meantime you can pre-order copies here.

destination; lik + neon

i 1st discovered lik + neon back in '06 & felt instantly at home in the maze of deadstock sportswear, 80's electronica & retro design. janis & i forged a strong friendship but little did she know she was a major inspiration for our undertaking of the other side of the pillow.

after killing it in the day-glo era of nu-rave, the lik + neon flavour evolved into its rather minimal by comparison reality today, focusing more on flourshing local art & design. retaining its rather playful & inventive character which, combined with lik + neon's infamous kittens littering the store, helped Janis claim the cover of the 1st issue of Independent London Store Guide.

there still remains the odd piece of deadstock amongst the modern design marvels, all now illuminated by a makeshift chandelier which has to be seen to be believed! & as such the attitude of gratitude goes out to Janis & lik + neon for the memories, the deadstock & the boundless inspiration.
