All three are very much in the spirit of Alfie’s, which is an antiques market much in tune with fashion. Abigail Smith, for example, has moved into the second floor with old linen, iron beds, chandeliers and old-fashioned French doors to present a stock and look which she describes as “a celebration of everything for the French old-style country home.” Also on the second floor are Jessie Western and Victoria Blake, respectively a singer songwriter and artist, although at Alfie’s they will deal in Western clothing and Native American jewellery. The duo already supply shops in New York and Los Angeles.
Completing the trio is the 20th Century Runway Shop, run by Nicole Borevec, who dealt in vintage clothing in Melbourne before coming to London. A specialist in the clothes of the 1960s and 70s, Nicole often dresses the stars for music videos.

THREE new dealers have moved into Alfie’s Antique Market in London’s Marylebone, bringing the total number of shops in one of London’s most popular and innovative centres up to 80.
