In regards to the statement being made connecting luxury to lifestyle
St Pancras has brought forth a good deal of effort by using the iconic historical gothic building into fashion trend or using parts of the building as patterns to create certain luxurious design in other to grasp people attention and make them buy a certain product.
For instant due to the history of the building and the values of the gothic building despite all of the odds given and negativity, designers and architects transformed all the negative design into positive by using parts of the building to create nice design for pamphlets, gift bags etc
After its great opening ST PANCRAS Station is set to become an airport-style shopping destination, with brands including Mulberry, Cartier, Smythson and Prada already being linked with the development. Cath Kidston was the first retailer to open her station-based branch yesterday, the Evening Standard reports
The development follows the opening of the five-star chosen flagship Marriott Renaissance Hotel and Searcys Champagne bar in the station - as well as an offering of serviced apartments in the station. I remembered this part during the massive recession there were thousands of champagnes being served and variety of performers were invited and displayed a great deal of show.
Lily cole was used to represent the gothic iconic building despite the odds it was said the building couldn’t deliver and it failed its purposed to serve.
At the end of the result due to its immense beauty a buyer bought this Victorian piece and it was transformed to an awesome beauty.
A designer should not only make things that look good but also be able to help explain the value of what they design in a larger context
