It's a small store, but Autograph sure does manage to pack in quite a number of designer labels, and the shop's tight relationship with Paul Smith means the sleek suits are unique to their stock. But this established store is not all about schmoozing the big names, there's lots of lesser-known, more cutting-edge stuff too – for example, the Japanese label Julius, whose uniquely designed leather jackets have had dedicated followers of fashion all of a flutter.
