Broadway Market attracts an eclectic mix of fashionable people. They all seem to gather together in one confined space, then disappear until the next weekend in another top street style worthy ensemble. It could be mistaken for a trendy mirage if it weren’t for all the markets these trendsetters are shopping at that assures you - it's definitely real.
After a trend forecaster told me about the market, I had to see what all the hype was about. She told me Brick Lane is not reflective of east end street style. Tourists congregate there to catch a glimpse of “edgy east London." I quite liked the vibe of Broadway, amazing style was everywhere, and the people we're friendly.
Here's what I saw.
These girls were doing the "walk of shame chic." Telling me their Friday night was spilling over into the following day, wearing the same ensembles. You never would have guessed - they look great. Yvan Rodic of Facehunter managed to get a much better shot of the one girl here.
A typical looking trendy couple that congregate here to sit around and just look cool with each other.
Prime example of the local colour I was telling you about. This lady hadn't been to bed yet, and couldn't remember what she was wearing, but here she is, bright and early selling hand made knickers. Can you spot a trend starting here people? This is the only place to be to cure your hangover and still look good.
Mimi from Sweden was a doll. A little 70's bohemian, 80's acid wash, 90's grunge - It just works in my books!
Then I came across this lovely little vintage stall - Bird on a Wire Vintage. Perhaps a nice place to find the above fashions. Located in Netil market, which is around the corner from Broadway.
All in all, a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon, hungover or not.
