The One

Everyone is searching for the one - that special something that no one else has. Yet.

From limited edition sneakers to clothing to members-only bars, it's only a matter of time before someone else gets their filthy paws on your favourite new find.

That's why we're thrilled to finally find a place where one actually means one, one-off, the one and only, just the one, etc etc. You get the gist...

Open since January and located in Notting Hill, One is a concept store that sells individually crafted objects; everything from customised cars, to retro-print wallpaper, to furniture, photography, and beautifully restored vintage clothing and accessories in a contemporary exhibition-style space.

Owned by Mick "The Man Who Shot the 70s" Rock, and the guy with possibly the coolest name in rock photography, the store is also home to Rock's iconic photographs of David Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust, as well as images of Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and the Sex Pistols to name just a few.

The important thing to remember is that each piece is unique and entirely different to the next, so elbows out... there's shopping to be done.

  • His ‘n’ Hers

    {mosimage}

    We’re taught from an early age that the sexes are segregated. Pink and blue baby bumf. Male and female toilets. His ‘n’ hers hotel slippers. And now boutiques are going their separate ways too with single sex dedicated offerings.

  • Shop Window Photos: July

    July's shop windows are all about escapism. 

  • Behind The Scenes

    Following a slew of designer documentaries, has fashion lost its mystery?

     

  • Life Lite

    Living life in lite – or existence.com, the beta version – takes small bits of the good stuff before deciding on the full whack. Like buying the Gucci key-ring instead of the bag. Before you plump for Life 2.0, dip your toe in and install the tester for a tiered existence.

     

  • Down by the Sea

    There's nothing like the promise of a sunshine-filled beach break to get the credit card receipts flowing. After all, nobody goes on holiday without a new bag/pair of flip flops/designer shorts, do they? Even if you're only planning a trip down to the local lido, do it in style with UJ's top picks of the best summery products. Time to get sandy.
