In my American opinion Shoreditch is Williamsburg with more black lace, an addiction to hairspray, and no Sparks. Anyone who has hung out amongst the formerly fringetastic Ipso Facto clones may have noticed a decrease in the amount of lego ladies and an increase in eyebrow grooming (or an accentuation of a lack thereof.) Liquid liner isn’t just for your lids, you know. Think Jennifer Connelly in Phenomena only darker and with a few less strays. To help me report on this East London trend, I have enlisted the help of the longtime queen (rather, Princess) of Shoreditch, Princess Julia. She’s been a DJ and fashion icon for decades, has been in a zillion videos, and was famously the face of Visage’s “Fade to Grey,” and now co-runs P.i.X. Julia is a neutral source on this topic since she’s chosen to live eyebrowless for years now.
