the last time you shopped soho, you were the victim of a hit and run. (she hit you with her co-op bag, and then ran into chanel.) this thursday might give you reason to go back, with the opening of the first ben sherman to hit the states.

while you won't get any tea and crumpets, you will get a chance to see this britwear designer's goods in full glory. the flagship store is a 3,500 square foot nod to mod, with white-washed brick walls and flag-covered couches. add to that custom chandeliers and antique accents, and you'll get a rock royalty, country manor feel. and if you thought the ben sherman thing was just for him, think again. there's a whole ska-reggae-punk inspired spring line for her. pieces worth looking into include harrington type jackets and retro knits.

and as with most soho stores, we're pretty sure you won't be the only one there.
