European stores like Atrium (NYC)

[nappywun]

Looking for stores in the UK, Paris, Spain, Germany, similar to Atrium and Nom De Guerre in NYC. Any with a nice mix of edgy new, independent, and popular labels. I'll be travelling soon and want to get some unique gear. Any with online presence will be great.

There is a whole mall in Madrid called Fuencarral, on the same street, off the Plaza Mejor (I think) that is sort of like a cheaper (and not as exclusive) Fred Segal. The whole street is full of streetwear stores, Spanish style (i.e. a lot more color than LA, makes NYC look like everyone is going to a funeral.)

Also, Vanadio carries some cool denm, including a lot of Yen, Atelier La Durance, and Nudie (but Nudie sells poorly in Spain and they may have phased it out completely now)

In London, Check out Selfridges for sure, and also check out Browns and Browns Focus, both on Molton Street - lots of good Margiela and Dries van Noten stuff and some interesting streetwear as well.

In Paris, be sure to hit up Colette, which only Maxfield and Corso Como 10 are in the same league as, imo.
