If you’ve recently headed down to PPQ for a quick shopping spree (guilty as charged) or treated yourself to afternoon tea at Sketch (you lucky thing), then you may have noticed the beautiful chalk drawings that are currently adorning the boarded up shop on the corner of Conduit Street and Saville Row.

Far from being the showcase of a budding street artist, this is the location of the hotly anticipated British flagship store of my favourite pop designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, and the sketches are by none other that JCDC himself. Word is that when he came to check out his new shop space he hated the sight of the bland boards so much that he whipped out some chalk from his pocket and indulged in some impromptu doodling. The store itself is provisionally set to open sometime in April, but get yourself down there before then if you want to see the drawings in person.
