Which is funny, as they are the people who can probably afford to shop there.</p> <p>The Abercrombie/Hollister shop model is a work of art from the shopfitting/display point of view, they fact they can somehow be pitch black inside, but have the products brightly lit is quite an amazing staging trick to pull off.</p> <p>The A&amp;F store on Saville Row in London is worth a visit just to gawp.<br /> <strong><br /> Uberuce</strong>, you are SO a Kooples Model, do you have a willowy/slightly junkie looking Koople to go with you though? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5404#post-57829 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:36:52 +0000 Min 57829@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"how are old people (ie me) supposed to find their way about and not bang into things?"<br /> </em><br /> You're not.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5404#post-57827 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:17:04 +0000 Baldcyclist 57827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's one of those Hollister shops in Glasgow, how are old people (ie me) supposed to find their way about and not bang into things?</p> <p>I hope the one in Edinburgh has lights! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5404#post-57825 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:01:35 +0000 Cyclingmollie 57825@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As long as it's easily incorporated into our usual circuit of train station - CEX - I <code>&#x2764;</code> Candy - Anthropologie - Paperchase - station. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5404#post-57800 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:59:02 +0000 crowriver 57800@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Will bearded cargonistas love it though? </p> <p><em>prices typically starting at around £65 for a t-shirt.</em></p> <p>Nah, I'll stick to Debenhams, M&amp;S and charity shops, ta.

The bearded fixie riding set will love it.</p> <p>It's a shame that george street is taking all the interesting retailing that princes street should be, mixing the high street shops with the upscale stuff like (actually rather nice) anthropolgie and even white stuff and Hollister would make it a bit more appealing. </p> <p>But then again, I don't know any city anywhere where the shopping is concentrated on one street (apart from Dunedin) and I guess it's similar to Oxford Street/Regent Street in London. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5404#post-57777 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:40:57 +0000 crowriver 57777@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Must be the ready availability of c*r parking then, clearly. Can't be all those buses trundling up and down making craters in the roads. Nor the proximity (walking distance) of George Street to most expensive residential and business areas of Edinburgh in the New Town and West End respectively. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5404#post-57768 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:03:31 +0000 chdot 57768@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> “George Street is undoubtedly the place to be located for upmarket fashion brands and the store will fit perfectly next door to Anthropologie and near the new Hollister store, which is currently being fitted out.</p> <p>“Brands like these appreciate that George Street is very much a lifestyle location with lots of great bars and restaurants.”</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/edinburgh/french_fashion_chain_measured_up_for_george_street_1_2129352" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/edinburgh/french_fashion_chain_measured_up_for_george_street_1_2129352</a></p> <p>Well not everyone has 'abandoned the high street' then. </p>
