Allsaints Spitalfields - Lincoln Road |
Fans of the Irish rock band U2 who recently attended their Miami
performance were no doubt amazed to see Bono and the Edge sporting
rumpled black leather jackets on stage despite the 90 degree heat. To
achieve that same tousled rock star look, head to Allsaints Spitalfields
on Lincoln Road Mall where the tattoo print tees, designer jeans and
distressed leather separates, boots and accessories turn any outfit into
an edgy entrance maker. The brand has grown by leaps and bounds by
tapping into the potent grunge and glamour appeal of rock music imagery.
Originally established as a men's clothing line in the United Kingdom in
1994, the sportswear's body-conscious tailoring, fine-gauge knitwear and
worn-in leather so captivated the fairer sex, a full women's range was
added in 1998. The original shop - named for All Saints Road in trendy
Notting Hill - has expanded to include dozens of stand alone stores and
concessions in major department stores across the globe. The rebellious
Allsaints look evokes creativity, fashion and music. It may be tough to
carry off a faux-goth leather outfit on sunny South Beach outside a few
cool weeks in January, but that does not seem to deter the long lines of
customers standing in the shadow of the ram skulls that line the walls
over the cash desk.
Retail shops - much like the lofty space transformed into the Lincoln Road
flagship - are carefully crafted to look as distressed as the pricey
merchandise with exposed beams, rough-hewn bricks and mortar plus a
heavy helping of iron, steel and repurposed vintage machinery. Both the
South Beach shop and the wildly successful Aventura Mall location
incorporate dozens of antique sewing machines to suggest a retro,
hand-crafted element to the fabrication.
