Saville Row is one of the most interesting streets to walk down in London. Remember to look down when passing shop windows... When I was 16, I had a week's work experience with a gentleman who was then the Queen's Haute Couturier. It was such an amazing insight in to the whole world of Haute Couture, as well as an important realisation that I couldn't really sew! One of my favourite parts of the experience was assisting on shopping trips sourcing fabrics, threads and buttons from specialist shops tucked away and hidden around Central london.
