Just found this thread…. As a woman who fluctuates in size, I really miss the warmth of vanity fair. I was only there half a dozen times but honestly never felt more welcome in a clothes shop than I did in there. Her staff were amazing, and never did the hard sell.
the pop up shops were brilliant, such a great buzz and full of women complimenting each other which is unlikely to happen in a river island changing room. Her stuff can be quite quirky without a doubt,but there are lots of hidden gems on the website. I love that the orders arrive with affirmation cards, I think it’s a really nice touch.
I can’t see Nessa ever opening a shop again, but I hope she keeps the online store going, and that she brings back the pop ups next year.
