Last night I had the pleasure of attending the opening night of The Claire Inc Pop Up Store with The Corner Shop on The Strand Arcade, Sydney. As you can see, there were racks full of covetable vintage designer pieces with no shortage of Chanel, Moschino and Karl Lagerfield. After sitting through some of the most intense traffic I have ever experienced (It took me one and a half hours to get from Elizabeth Street to the QVB!) and crazy down pours of heavy rain - which seem to be creating ponds instead of puddles on the side of every road - I was determined to not let a day of miserable misfortune deter me from getting to the event to meet Belinda and seeing what I knew was going to be a flawless collection. Any stress I had carried with me throughout the day vanished as soon as I ran through those front doors, and excitement quickly took over. One word: Stunning. The range was absolutely stunning. Anyone would appreciate the beautiful clothes on offer but to someone who sells vintage and knows exactly how hard it is to source pieces like this, it was so much more than that. Admirable is one word that comes to mind. A must see if you are around the Sydney area over the next two weeks. But be warned, The Corner Shop is also home to labels like Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim so be prepared!
