Bond & Brook Restaurant

Fenwick 63 New Bond StLondon, W1A 3BS020-7629-0273http://www.rhubarb.net/Venues/Bond-Brook

Brook & Bond restaurant is glamourous, sleek and minimalist. The restaurant is located in the heart of Mayfair at the Fenwick store on Bond street. The elegant mid-century furniture, white palette, flashy pewter bar and framed fashion photography make the venue a stylish place to enjoy lunch after a hard days shopping. After flicking through its all-day menu (which is beautifully presented) there is certainly a feminine appeal,they offer a wide variety of dishes including vegetarian and vegan. The restaurant itself is not advertised and many shoppers have no idea it is here, when I spoke to one waiter he said, “ It is a beautiful place to work, even thought we are not yet very well known most of our customers hear about us from others recommendations”. Some of the lunch menu is reasonably priced and you can get an afternoon tea for two for £18.50, which is rather expensive, their target market is more for lady’s who lunch. There is a dress code of smart casual which seems appropriate for such a beautiful place. I definitely recommend it here, even if its just for a (cheaper) coffee and to browse through their extensive library of fashion books. 

Minimalism SS13 

As I began to brain storm ideas and plan my photo shoot I came across Alba Prat. Alba Prat is a spanish fashion designer. Her collections suggest a fresh and innovative approach to womenswear and are defined by a minimal look, which features androgynous and sculptural garments that are impeccably cut. There is a sublime attention to detail and much of her work has a futuristic edge. 

Her garments are beautifully photographed and displayed on her website which gave me great inspiration for my photo shoot.
