Annie Moss has been trading in vintage clothes and textiles for nigh on 30  years. She's been running her shop, Annie's, for the past seven, in the heart of Islington's network of antique-laden alleyways. She stocks pieces ranging from the Victorian era through to the 1960s, and so it's no surprise that Alexander McQueen is a fan. Kate Moss is another good customer: on a recent visit, among other things, she purchased a long blouse dating back to 1912; a snakeskin clutch; a 1920s sequinned jacket and a chainmail dress.
