Climax Books

A purveyor of hard-to-source tomes on art, photography and culture, Climax Books was founded by former Dazed Editor-in-Chief Isabella Burley in 2020, and had already achieved cult status among the chicest members of London’s fashion crowd by the time its physical shop opened in 2023. Stocking everything from rare first edition art books and cultural ephemera to some very cool merch including latex tote bags and underwear and t-shirts made in collaboration with Chopova Lowena, Climax has also hosted collaborative events with the likes of Heaven by Marc Jacobs and Sadie Coles HQ, and opened a New York outpost in 2024. The physical shop on Soho’s Wardour Mews is currently open from Thursday to Saturday. You’ll want to buy something for the hot pink shopping bags alone.
