Camper, New York


When I first saw this store at the start of the millennium I remember being quite in awe of its innovation. I believe they are a Spanish brand with a very long history of shoe making begun originally by Antonio Fluxa. The layout here has always reminded me of a combination of catwalk and large ovens, I think probably because of the Red used on the inside of those enormous lights. Camper encourage us to 'Reinvent our Reality' which is perhaps a little ironic as the store has remained the same for nearly 10 years and perhaps a little past it sell by date in terms of Retail Years. However, the product remains fantastic and the quality is superb and if you do like this kind of thing then maybe drop by 125 Prince St. in SoHo and take a look.
