A New Yorker recently asked me whom she needed to meet to take the temperature of creative London today. That would be Alex Eagle, a ubiquitous design maverick whose ambitions are vast and stretch from fashion and sportswear to beauty, design, and furniture.
The 38-year-old’s center of operations is Alex Eagle Studio in Soho, an industrial, Tribeca-like store situated on a narrow and inauspicious lane just off Leicester Square. Ever since it opened, in 2017, it has been catnip for the cool crowd, which craves her curation of objects and goods. Many of the items are designed by Eagle herself.
