I always felt that Urban Outfitters was severely needed in York so I’m really happy that a UO store officially opened today in the city. Urban Outfitters shops are unlike any other on the High Street. They ooze personality and draw you in with their modern art inspired and idiosyncratic decor. The remade section allows customers to experiment with their style by mixing vintage pieces with own brand pieces to create a distinct fashion forward look. There is no doubt that UO has helped to define the recent youth movement involving the ‘Hipster’ craze and the stores fully cater for their lifestyle. I wondered into a room today full of vinyl records, pinhole cameras, books and the walls covered in urban art. I ended up buying this navy high collared cut out dress and a gold cross necklace. I also saw a scarf styled like this on a mannequin in the remade section so I’ve created the look using one of my own vintage scarves. – GWC
