For British retailer, designer and creative director, Alex Eagle, her life and work is all about curating. Whether scouring the globe for the absolute finest luggage, or a choosing a pair of shoes that fits the season’s trends without being too trendy, Eagle has become a trusted guide to a well-edited life. Just one step into her eponymous concept store in London’s Soho neighborhood, and you can sense her touch on every corner: mid-century furniture, contemporary art, and limited edition vinyls mix seamlessly with beauty products from the Alps, charcoal water filters, and of course wardrobe pieces from exciting new designers including herself.
