Fanshawe Fashionista: Best couture off-campus

London's best kept secret for men and woman's high-end fashion with impressive prices just landed about a month ago in the middle of Richmond Row.

MiCloset is where you will find brand names like Dolce & Gabanna, Versace, Byblos, Roberto Cavalli, Diesel and many more that come in all sizes, and is unique as well as limited, with only a few styles in each size to ensure the originality and quality of each purchase.

The friendly environment soon to feature an espresso machine with a great atmosphere offers high end garments that can be found no where else in the city, with prices that have been slashed up to 30-40 per cent off, with even an opportunity to bargain — yes bargain for a better price if you wish.

Now, how is such great quality so affordable in London? Well, after speaking to the passionate owner of MiCloset Sam Benni, he explained that overhead in a city like London is simply less as opposed to Toronto or Montreal, therefore he can bring the latest designer threads right to where you want them to be — in your closet at an unbeatable price.

It's a win/win situation, as even the hours of operation are unique to the city. Open Mon-Thurs from 11 am-7 pm, however on Fridays and Saturdays, you can shop during regular hours but also from 10 pm until midnight as well, and satisfy that late night urge to splurge!

MiCloset is also hosting the 1st Annual Red Carpet Fashion Show held at Aroma Mediterranean Restaurant on November 12, to benefit the AIDS Committee of London. The event is for anyone interested in the fashion industry and is a great opportunity to mix and mingle while enjoying a dynamic show featuring the season's latest fashions. Dress to impress, as local media television and radio stations, as well as different agencies are sure to attend, and the opportunities and exposure at an event of this calibre is surly something that should not be passed up.

Cocktails begin at 6 pm until fashionably late, and tickets are $25 and can be purchased at MiCloset, LFE, and Aroma Restaurant.

If you want to feel good, look good and be involved in the local fashion scene, MiCloset is a great place to get started. With great designs and unique accessories MiCloset claims to be ‘dressing up London one person at a time' and they sure are good at what they do!
