Stussy London Closes...

The Stussy store in Covent Garden closed its doors for the last time yesterday. Their stock can be found in The Hideout for the foreseeable future, but the question still remains....Whats happening to streetwear in London?

All the best to the man Judah and all the other people that made that store what it was.

Thats a shame. Only 'streetwear' store in london that was worthwhile.

I look forward to some independents taking advantage of the absence of competition and coming through now the big boys have fallen.

Hope the staff go onto bigger and better things!

Isn't there loads of Stussy in Slam?

This is particularly shite because Hideout or the Stussy Europe website possibly won't get any future limited edition stuff that was exclusive to the UK store (ie. the Japanese Harringtons etc).

shame. good store, location was perfect, don't know what annons are bitching about. Streetwear in London is just taking a blip, it'll be back. But I think you gotta buy more consciously now, look for the hidden gems.

Worst global recession in modern history... Pricey chinos and ltd edition lumberjack shirts seem to be dropping off people's 'essentials' list.

Stores online seem to be the way forward but are they? Never the same as good old shop.

Not too surprising really. the people have spoken - overpriced flash flagship stores ain't where its at right now.

Sad to see the shop go. Again another case of landlords asking for crazy money in this current climate. Gonna miss the guys in there esp Jude, Chris and Dom. Covent Garden is going down the pan! Nothing to bring people into the area now.

Stores moving online is the forward insofar as you don't have to pay (anything like as much) rent.

The rent for a commercial property in central London, especially Covent Garden, must be astronomical.

tiz a shame but such is life, they'll be back in a new location when the shit dies down...
