Friday Obsession- Allsaints Spitalfields

There are certain stores that I would like to pick up my stuff and move into if they'd let me. One of these stores is Allsaints Spitelfields. The edgy, Brit clothing line winds a limited color palette of white, cream, black, brown and gray throughout the store from the clothes to the walls and fixtures. The new SoHo location has a natural curiosities cabinet feel to it with a mix of leather, distressed wood, animal heads. Sort of a John Derian meets British punk... 

Antique sewing machines line the walls, racks made of industrial metal and burnt wood display neutral-colored clothing and vintage mannequins are adorned with chunky-chain jewelry. The only color is found sparingly in their distressed plaid shirts.

Wooden shoe forms are artfully displayed in shadow boxes...

Pure white cow skulls line the wall behind the registers...
While I love color, the neutral tones and moody atmosphere in this store are the perfect usher into Fall.
