LOST PEDESTRIAN: Excuse me, can you tell me where Carlos Place is?
TIM BLANKS: Spring means freshness, and this year is no exception as London’s hottest floral landscapers converged to add sexy new life to the boulevard to your left, down past cheeky bus stops whose industrial roughness takes a bright new turn this season with bold colour statements flecked with street-smart graffiti accents. Add a sharp right turn, and you get where you’re going with smart, sexy, ready-to-wear grace and élan, with a hint of the big-shouldered ’80s.
