Wallpaper* Launches Online Retail Directory

Wallpaper*, the iconic international design, fashion and lifestyle magazine, is launching an on-line directory of the world's best new stores - from unique niche emporia to the latest wonders from the global fashion houses.

Wallpaper's unique guide to revolutionary retail complements and extends the Retail Directory in the November issue of Wallpaper* and features our 30 favourite new trading spaces; the sharpest designs and canniest concepts.

Tony Chambers, Wallpaper* editor-in-chief, says: "Our directory will take you on a world tour of the very best, very newest in shop showmanship - from Vitra in Sao Paulo to Hermes in Osaka and Moroso in SoHo."

Vanita James, wallpaper website editor, says: "Anyone who loves shopping and travel as much as we do will find our retail directory an indispensable resource.

And it's not just the usual suspects like fashion and interiors that feature - all manner of hidden gems have been uncovered, including an optician in Japan and a patisserie in Monaco."
