Assisting stylist Shuvan Khuntia for Issue 015 of Bricks Magazine.

​

Through more than 220 shopfronts across London, stylist and casting director Shuvan Khuntia is using fashion photography to document Britain's vanishing independent high streets. 

​

The Great British Storefront is a visual ode to the quiet poetry of the British high street, exploring how fashion interacts with the everyday spaces that shape identity, nostalgia and belonging. From corner shops to long-standing local institutions, each storefront becomes a stage where style intersects with subculture, memory and community, transforming the ordinary into something cinematic and resonant.

​

Created by London-based stylist and casting director Shuvan Khuntia alongside more than ten photographers and creative teams, the project has grown to encompass over 220 independent businesses across the capital. What began as a series of fashion test shoots, however, soon revealed itself to be something much bigger. “Probably around location twenty,” Khuntia tells BRICKS. “Up until then I was thinking shoot by shoot, just finding interesting backdrops and making images I was proud of. At some point I started noticing that I was building a record of something. The storefronts we were documenting were changing. Some of them had already gone by the time I got back to the same street. That is when it shifted for me.”
