At the beginning of the summer my good friend who I refer to as Ghana went to Convent Garden London, and into my favourite store Kurt Geiger. As I have not been to Covent Garden in a while I was blown away by the interior of the KG store. The store was designed by Found Associates, London. When I walked into the store being an Interior Architect I could not find one fault with the store’s Interior. It was well spaced out and planned. Clearly not only following the brief needed for the store attendants but also for the consumers. As on enters the store you are allured to the back of the main entrance where a mesmerising shoe chandelier greets you as you proceed down the catwalk staircase which features what seems to be the “shoe of the month” as you enter the basement floor it is heavily cladded in mirrors all around which is a most need for modelling shoes and doing your catwalk strut around the beautifully minimalist arranged seating area.
The store will cater for both men and women, with over 1,000 shoes available and there is even a promise from Kurt Geiger that the store will never sell out!Kurt Geiger describes the store as a seamless shopping experience and the jewel in its crown.
Style bible Vogue’s August 2010 edition agrees, describing the new Covent Garden store as “luxurious, warm and inviting – the ideal place for picking out the perfect pair, or two, of shoes.”
