The Neville Johnson bespoke furniture company has opened a new flagship store on Wigmore Street. Concepts on display in the impressively laid-out shop include a library (pictured above), a stylish home cinema and a luxurious walk-in-wardrobe, all of which have been designed to demonstrate how versatile the brand’s bespoke furniture can be.

Pauline Burrows doesn’t look or sound much like the bespoke tailor of your imagination. She’s not old, dusty, formal or a little bit creepy. Instead she’s a cheerful soul with a lilting north-east brogue and a bright smile. And the clothes she makes in her new Chiltern Street shop are just as heartwarming – being handmade by a highly skilled artisan they are, as you’d expect, beautifully tailored, but there are other things that make them stand out. Partly it’s the attention given to the details – the collars, the cuffs, the buttons, the seams and the backs. “People forget to give shirts a good back,” she says, “but it’s what half the world sees when you walk along.” And partly it’s the materials she uses – unusual textures and shades abound. The results, which are coveted by a long list of regular customers, are classic in style but with bags of individuality.

Exciting fashion designers have been flocking to Marylebone in recent years, but this time it’s not one designer following in their colourful footprints but several smaller brands, all creamed from the very best of contemporary womenswear, lingerie and accessories design and presented under the beautifully purposed New Cavendish Street roof of King’s Road favourite Austiqe. Alongside established brands such as Markus Lupfer, Alice & Olivia and Zimmerman, and the shop’s own- label range, you will find plenty of as yet undiscovered young talent. Some of these have names so intriguing you’ll be tempted to buy from them regardless of what the collections actually look like – Love Quotes, the Pocket Garden and Sexy Panties and Naughty Knickers being cases in point.
