Shoppers take note.
If quick-fix high street stores make you dizzy, then allow yourself the pleasure of the boutique experience. It is back and it is taking London by storm. In a mood reminiscent of the '60s, the capital's new wave of boutiques have swinging names like Boho, Mimi and Souvenir and pack an exclusive lineup of international as well as home-grown talent. The more obscure the boutique is the better, and if it means you have to leave the central shopping zone for some of the city's edgier neighborhoods, then that's fine too. For the fashion cognoscenti intent on finding things first, it adds to the appeal.
