Rough Trade Records, the UK based record store, opened an outpost in Brooklyn. Last night I attended a pre-opening night VIP celebration. The store's raw, industrial, hyper-cool design is made up of reclaimed shipping containers. In addition to selling a world renown selection of albums and cd's. Rough Trade has created a hang for music lovers offering books, listening stations, a cafe and a venue for live performances. Check out a few pictures from last night HERE, HERE and HERE.
