Paul Costelloe Pop up shop in John Lewis - EXCLUSIVE Catwalk Items

For two weeks from 18th February 2011, Paul Costelloe Man will be offering the chance to own exclusive pieces from the Paul Costelloe Man catwalk collection in conjunction with John Lewis. Launching directly after Paul Costelloe’s opening show at London Fashion Week, Paul Costelloe will be in attendance to open an exclusive pop up shop in John Lewis’ flagship, Oxford Street store.

The pop up will be the first John Lewis has ever installed and will showcase the capsule collection with unique branding, visuals and an Oxford Street window. The first collection of it’s kind, the Costelloe Catwalk collection is a 25 piece capsule of garments from the SS11 Paul Costelloe Man catwalk show that opened London Fashion Week for the SS11 season.

Comprising of 4 ties, 2 bow ties, 6 shirts, 2 suits, 2 trousers, 4 shorts, 2 jackets and 3 coats, only 10 pieces of each garment will be available across a selected size range. These will be the only 10 ever to be made worldwide and each will be individually numbered 1 to 10, so every customer will know they own a unique item never to be reproduced.

Drawing its inspiration from many sources and concentrated around a defined palette of deep indigo blue, crisp white, silver and highlights of fiery red; the collection will mark the launch of Spring/Summer 2011 and celebrate Paul Costelloe’s long standing position with the inaugural show of London Fashion Week

How To Choose The Right Body Shop

You don’t want to fool around when choosing a mechanic for your car. Keep an ear open for
recommendations and warnings when your friends and family have car troubles. If you know
beforehand of a body shop you feel comfortable with, you won’t need to make a rushed or
incomplete decision when you need one.
Ask friends and associates for their recommendations. I stay in touch with homeschooling
families. They’re often part of a larger group that can share recommendations for mechanics
they’ve felt were honest and reputable

Check with your local Better Business Bureau regarding the reputation of a particular body
shop. Ask about the number of complaints, if there were any, and how the complaints were
resolved. Don’t be too anxious if there were some complaints. No one pleases everybody, and
there are some people you can’t satisfy no matter what. But if you see a pattern of the same
kinds of problems, beware.
Next, pay a visit to the shop and ask if they handle your vehicle make and model. Check to see
how long they’ve been in business. What kind of feel do you get about the place? Are you
treated with courtesy? Does the staff behave professionally?
You don’t need to “white glove test” the place, but it should be neat, and organized. Also, times
are a’changin’, and modern equipment is an absolute must.
Sometimes, vehicle manufacturers recommend specific repair procedures and tools for the
repair of their vehicles. Ask if the shop is trained in these procedures and has the necessary
equipment.
Are there any civic and community service awards hanging on the walls? It’s a nice touch. Do
you see diplomas or certificates of competence? You want a technically competent staff.
Look around the place. What kinds of vehicles seem to be in the repair stage? Does everything
look like it’s being handled professionally? Don’t be shy about talking to folks in the waiting
room to see they’ve tried the shop before and how pleased they are with the service they’ve
received in the past.
My number one suggestion is to ask around and see where others have had satisfactory car
repair work done. Even if you’re feeling stressed and in a hurry, ask at least 15 people. That
way, you’re likely to get the same place mentioned more than once. A little time spent on the
basics can save you a load of trouble in the long run. And once you find mechanic you trust,
your car’s future looks a lot brighter.
