Legends
Thre’s a new shop just off the Main Street you might miss if you don’t know where to look. It’s called Legends at 12 Main Street, but it’s actually back behind Zero Main. Legends sells environmentally friendly and ethically sound clothing
that is still chic and stylish, with am urban/bohemian look.
All the designers, while not necessarily using organic materials, have a
resposible ethic towards manufacturing. Lines include Tomasz
Starzewski, Twenty8Twelve (Sienna & Savannah Miller’s debut collection), Goth
clothing from Grail, Edun (Bono’s wife, Ali Hewson’s
line of clothing supporting trade not aid in the third
world), local designer Cheryl Fudge with her
one-of-a-kind pieces, Elisabeth English with her
carefully selected vintage pieces, and Sky & Earth’s
new organic line. Pictured here are the shops owners, Azra and Andrew Wilmot-Smith.

Changes on Nantucket
Curves, the exercise club for women only, is closed. Their lease was not renewed.
Jim Cromartie and Kerry Hallam will be back on Easy Street. After a one year hiatus, the Cromartie Gallery will open soon as its former Easy Street location, with paintings and prints from the pair.
Round the Horn, which occupied the Cromartie Gallery space for one year, is moving to Federal Street.
Andrew Maury, grandson of John Maury who operated The Emporium on Main Street for many years, is planning to open a clothing store called Nantucket Brand at the space formerly occupied by Tonkin of Nantucket, directly across Main Street from Even Keel. Full story in the Independent and I&M.
Gypsy, owned by Paula Gonfrade, will move from their upstairs spot at 47 Main to 20 Federal Street, now under renovations.
