Bill Green’s Vince Man’s Shop, more commonly known as ‘Vince’s’, was the first male fashion boutique in Carnaby. His designs were an inspiration for many designers who would revolutionise male fashion in 1960's.  It can therefore be regarded as the business which started to establish Carnaby Street as the centre of London’s cutting edge fashion retail market.
