Ted Baker London began as a shirt specialist in Glasgow, and has since expanded across the globe, maturing into a less-than-ordinary designer label with detail-oriented menswear, womenswear and accessories. Style enthusiasts who appreciate well-made apparel and seek statement-making colors and patterns turn to Ted Baker London for the latest collection of fashion-forward designs.

And now, Ted Baker London is heading west, opening a new retail boutique in Fashion Valley Mall this fall. Locals mark your calendars: Ted Baker London San Diego is opening doors on November 4.

Ted Baker London’s boutiques are known to be as vibrant and eccentric as the label’s clothing and accessories. Each store reflects the brand’s quirky, bold personality, while drawing inspiration from the site location. The result is a fun shopping experience that engages the consumer in the Ted Baker lifestyle.

The new 2,100-square-foot Ted Baker London San Diego store is located on the lower level of Fashion Valley Mall near Bloomingdale’s, and the interior design pays homage to one of our most iconic attractions, the San Diego Zoo. We all know animal prints remain as hot as ever in fall fashion trend reports, but Ted Baker is taking this exotic tribute to a new level with a store-wide wildlife theme.

Animal motifs are etched on brushed brass and copper, and familiar images Balboa Park are set against subtle references to the London zoo in Regents Park. Ready to try something on? Head to the dressing rooms, which are designed to mimic a Victorian zoo keeper's hideaway. Vintage maps and organic textures complete the look, while styles are displayed in wood shelves adorned with flowers, light fixtures and antique artifacts.

And now for the fashion. The San Diego store will debut Ted Baker’s British Fall 2011 collections. Women will be styled in dramatic, feminine looks for fall, a mix of English countryside drama and the natural shades of autumn. Pick a bold, playful orchid print, get serious with winter blacks, or relax with soothing camel tones. Men will embrace their rugged side with tweed and corduroy, twill accented by leather and quilting detail.
