BOX 1208 HYANNIS,MA 02601 OR E-MAIL TO letters@barnstablepatriot.com Fall into London Bridges Main Street shop makes fashion fun By Kathleen Manwaring kmanwaring@barnstablepatriot.com KATHLEEN MANWARING PHOTOS THE LATEST MODELS - London Hall (right), owner/operator of London Bridges Women's Clothing and Accessories , displays some shop wares with local model Sophie Moeller. Hall's boutique is located at 349 Main St. in Hyannis. Looking for a women's clothing shop that's a refreshing diversion from the ordinary? How about a shop owner with as much flair as her fashions? Once upon a time, London Hall walked the runways as a model in New York City. She also had stints on As the World Turns and One Life to Live , two popular daytime soap operas, and was once a pro- moter for Mike Tyson - before his biting problem. Eight years ago Hall came to Cape Cod after "marrying a local" and found her way once again into the clothing business, this time in sales. "I started out at Plush and Plunder, where the owner taught me the ropes," she said. "Then I opened my own shop." That shop would be London Bridges, which spent many years in Yarmouth before settling com- fortably in Hyannis almost a year ago. "When I noticed the change on Main Street and saw that peo- ple were cleaning it up, I wanted to be a part of it," said Hall. Hall credits the Main Street As- sociation with helping her to feel welcome. "Hyannis really stands behind the small businesses," she said. "I can't tell you how wonder- ful they've been." Although traffic into the shop was heavier in the summer, Hall predicts that trend will change in years to come. In her opinion, dur- ing the next 10 years, year-round business will increase greatly. It helps that Hyannis is open to diversity. "It feels more like a small city," Hall said. "This neighbor- hood has become more upscale and safer." While in Yarmouth, Hall's unique window displays featuring boldly designed mannequins raised a number of eyebrows, eventually leading to serious problems be- tween Hall and the town's busi- ness officials. "I just lost so much business I had to move," she said. In Hyannis, the creative store- front and window have been well- received. "Whatever excitement I have in my window, they support ," said Hall speaking of her fellow merchants. Indeed , the mannequins in the window and outside the store are most definitely eye-catching. Several are decorated with p apier mache or painted designs and one wears a lampshade adorned with Marilyn Monroe 's face, including that infamous beauty mark. The gamine faux ladies are sim- ply a reflection of the interior of London Bridges, where the fash- ion-forward will find total nirvana. "My clothes are contemporary with an edge," said Hall, who often travels to Paris to view outfits and jewelry collections. Label watch- ers will appreciate finds such as Betsey Johnson and ABS by Allen Schwartz. For prom season. Hall has stocked the shop with an array of finery both traditional and untra- ditional. Traditional dress seek- ers will find rich hues and classic designs. Those favoring an untra- ditional frock will delight in vivid colors and a number of styles, including a replica of the very dress Marilyn Monroe wore when she serenaded Camelot's own JFK on his birthday. You know, the one she had to be sewn into? To distin- guish itself as a copy, this gown is embellished from head to toe with thousands of tiny sparkling beads, which simply add to its allure. In her advertising and on her Web site Hall uses local mod- els from high schoolers to UPS drivers, and even a local pooch. "We make fashion fun ," she said. "That's what it's supposed to be." London Bridges is located at 349 Main St. in Hyannis. For hours and information , call 508-775-6777. They can be found on the Web at www.londonbridgeswomen.com. m _ atj ?
