Havilland is known for wedges featuring psychedelic prints
Terry De Havilland is set open a new pop-up store in London’s Carnaby Street, it has been confirmed.
The boutique, which is due to open in April, is the footwear
designer's first standalone retail space since he closed the doors to his renowned Cobblers to the World shop in 1979. Fans of the label include David Bowie, Bianca Jagger and Kate Moss.
"I'm thrilled to be opening a shop in the Newburgh Quarter," Havilland told British Vogue.
"It's an area that epitomises the spirit of London style and I can't think of a more perfect place to be. It's been over 30 years since I last had a flagship store and I can't wait to show it off," he added.
The store is only temporary and will remain open until mid-July. It will sell styles spanning de Havilland's six-decade-long career - from bespoke platform wedges featuring psychedelic prints to mixed metallic Seventies sandals.
"I've got plenty of surprises up my sleeve, including a small range of designs that are being made right here in London. It's the start of a whole new chapter for me - bring it on!" said Havilland.
