Being a fashion student fabric is very important! There are loads of fabric shops in Soho, as I have already detailed and many more in Bricklane and Shepherds Bush. A one fabrics is deceivingly huge! The shop window is filled with particularly distasteful fabrics draped(or should I say hanging) from the ceiling and occasionally a mannequin or two wrapped in fabric. As you walk in you are hit by the abundance of fabric form the floor to the ceiling rolls and rolls of fabric stacked. As you progress into the shop you realise that there is another whole shop parallel to it through an archway! Full or even more fabrics rolls in piles on the floor, standing piles in corners, fabrics stacked everywhere! Fantastic selection of netting, nylons and polyesters. The staff are extremely friendly and quite happy to give you samples and try and help you out with the fibre content — but don’t expect them to know! Many fabrics are just bought, so they themselves do not know! Check it out — it might inspire you to do a little sewing!!!
