Poste Mistress S/S 2012 Window Design
The design for the Poste Mistress store on Monmout St in Covent Garden this season was decided on quite easily – after presenting a few ideas, everyone agreed that this one was just that little bit different and more conceptual than usual; it’s also the first time we’ve done the two windows slightly differently so...
