No, we're not under water but the giant stuffed shark and squid are inside British designer Christopher Raeburn's new shop at Coal Drops Yard - the new retail destination near London's King's Cross off Granary Square. Fabulous! The only stretch of water near here is the Regent's Canal.
One of Raeburn's signature works, apart from his being a master in recycling and repurposing materials, is featuring animal mascots in his designs and this Autumn and Winter, his current collection showcases sea creatures swirling on a sweatshirt or knitted brightly into the motif of another top.
At a time when the world is waking up to the destruction and pollution caused by plastics in our open waters, it is definitely a good way to remind ourselves of the life forms that seas provide and support.
