Claudia Raba, co-owner of Storm in a Teacup vintage store, Dalston, London, January 2012.
One frame from a little shoot I did earlier (much earlier!eep, how time flies!) this year with the beautiful Claudia who is a model with Models 1 and also owns a wonderful vintage shop called Storm in a Teacup on Kingsland Road with her boyfriend, Joe Miller. Joe, who is also a stylist and artist, and Claudia stock vintage treasures picked up on their travels - think vintage Vivienne Westwood, Maison Martin Margiela, Raf Simons, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries van Noten - as well as an edited selection of new pieces. You can read more about their store on Susie's blog (who writes a million times more eloquently than me).
If you are in London, go check out Claudia and Joe's store - apart from the gorgeous selection of vintage, they also have a fabulous sweetie counter with jars stacked full of old-fashioned lollies.

Truly wonderful outfit! I pass through Dalston almost everyday, and I've never, ever seen "Storm in a Teacup". But, upon seeing Claudia's stunning outfit and reading your review, I know I really must check it out.

@Elmo- You should definitely drop by the store (although check the opening hours as I think they are only open "by appointment" on Monday and Tuesdays. I am here for part of the week! When are you here exactly?
Im coming the end of the week (15-19th), would be great to catch up :)
