Love Letter to EC One, Notting Hill
London
It's the first big day of London Fashion Week, and as progressive as British fashion can be (current darling Gareth Pugh sent out slick, Robert Palmer backup-singer-style minidresses elaborately studded with galaxies of teeny Swarovski crystals), almost all of the shops are still closed on Sundays.
Luckily I was able to get into one of my favorite jewelry stores, EC One in Notting Hill. This faux-tortoiseshell neck plate sort of sums up how girls here dress at the moment: a little Studio 54 glam, a little ethnic, and slickly modern. It's the kind of statement piece that can take you anywhere—paired with wide-leg jeans and an oversize men's shirt for Sunday errands, or a glam metallic dress at night.
