i just seen it and it was very interesting....The constant battle between cultural heritage and consumerism...
A&S,Norton and Henry Poole facing the influx of big names on the row...

I would have liked to hear from the other feud between the modernists with Richard James ,Boateng and the old guard...

The moment when Abercrombie did their opening party with people queuing and Gieve's PR guy alone peeping through the window was quite revealing and poignant..

The row will have to adapt and in the same time can't really evolve without changing the essence itself of its mystic...A personal and exclusive service with a twist of snobism...

Nothing about Rubinacci ,not far from there...

How revolting to see the vulgarity of Abercrombie & Fitch opening on The Row.

I was pretty amazed to see one of the tailors speaking about their super 250's fabric. I imagine it's about as strong as tissue paper.

Is there any way some of our UK friends could share it?

It was extremely depressing to walk down the Row, turn the corner and see AF occupying a huge building with Zack Efron wannabes as doormen.

Back when the Abercrombie first opened, they had to fly in door models from the US because they couldn't find any English kids that met their criteria!

But seriously, bloody Abercrombie jams up the damn street with slack-jawed shoppers spilling over onto the steps of the Royal Academy of Art on the opposite side. I hate to sound like a granpa but "******* ABERCROMBIE"

And you're laughing at us when we were pissed off to see Mc Do in every street corner selling junk food!!!!

Welcome to the row...Full of American students on tour queuing to buy in London what they coud have bought in their hometowns...
