Event of the Week – A Mile of Style
13-04-2007
Now On: A Mile of Style exhibition at the Guildhall Art Gallery
At the heart of London’s square mile ‘A Mile of Style’ reveals the fascinating story of the UK’s most famous shopping thoroughfare. Home to prestigious heritage brands such as Aquascutum, Jaeger and Austin Reed the exhibition features some of their most treasured archive designs, many of which are still used as inspiration for collections today. Also on display are documents, maps, photographs and plans charting the history of renowned street. And of course there is more to come as Regent Street continues to change with the times with further development, in particular the restructuring of the former Dickens & Jones department store.
A Mile of Style: 180 Years of Shopping on Regent Street is on until 30th June 07
