Chic Freak

Chic Freak is a new Portobello Road boutique, which stocks the quirkiest and trendiest garments from some of London's most promising emerging designers. POP PR invited me to the shop's launch party last week, where owner Tamarisk East-Rigby described Chic Freak as like a "theatre wardrobe".
