Founders and owners of this London boutique, Matthew Murphy and Kirk Beattie, are known for pulling together the freshest and most interesting designers. Opening shop in the summer of 2012, they use their space as a platform for young designers and artists from across the world. With a subtle industrial look – exposed brick, yellow tiles, and reams of fabric that cover parts of the walls – their shop is a must visit when in Soho. Here you’ll find everything from clothing to accessories and homeware to books. Their very loyal customer fan base goes to show just how good these guys are.

Stephan Schneider was born in Germany, but it’s Belgium where his namesake collection was conceived. Schneider graduated Antwerp’s Royal Academy for Fine Arts in 1994 at the top of his class, winning a prize that allowed him to show his collection in Paris. The label continues to present at Paris Fashion Week, while design and production remain local to Belgium.
