London College of Fashion’s college shop is back!
London College of Fashion has an incredible international reputation as a leading provider of fashion education, research and consultancy. As part of the college’s mission to ‘fashion the future’, a pop up shop featuring students’ collections will be open from December 11th – 16th right in the heart of Carnaby. With Christmas fast approaching there are a number of reasons you should visit LCF’s shop to stock up on all things sparkle and charm.
Number one: it’ll save on the frantic, last minute, ‘no I definitely didn’t completely forget’ rush to buy a present for your Secret Santa. Limited edition pieces sold at affordable prices will ensure the rest of the group are left wishing you had picked their name out of the hat.
Number two: you’ll likely be attending fancy Christmas parties that require show stopping outfits this winter. Turning up in a piece created by a bonafide up and coming designer will guarantee a fashionably late entrance.
And number three: LCF’s students and alumni are amongst the most phenomenal new design talent in the world, and we – as fashion lovers – should support them by popping along to Carnaby to show our appreciation of their enchanting ideas and delicate needlework. Christmas is, after all, about festive cheer and kindness and such.
Now in its fourth year, the London College of Fashion pop up shop will feature collections from a number of students, both past and present. Always on the look out for fresh design talent, there are a few people in particular we’ve got our eye on. Hot on the heels of last year’s hugely popular ‘So Bad, It’s Good’ collection (which gained widespread press coverage in Grazia, the Observer and Harper’s Bazaar no less!), Camilla Elphick is back with a new shoe collection: ‘You’ve Got The Luck’. We’re particularly mesmerised by the spellbinding red sparkle of the Lucky 7 stilettos and the quirkiness of her Clover heels.
We can already tell that Barbra Kolasinksi is going to be every girl’s best friend this winter. This designer will be wrapping us up in every kind of super cute candy coloured fuzzy, furry, shaggy creation any woman bracing Britain’s icy winds could possibly dream of. We’ve also fallen in love with C Studio’s mystical blue and purple palette, and what’s more, they’ll be showcasing their menswear designs at the pop up shop too. No more worrying about what to put under the tree for the man in your life! With prices starting from just £15, you can afford to treat your girlfriends and yourself to a statement piece from the eye-catching Esoteric jewellery collection this Christmas.
With these designers and so many more on show at LCF’s pop up shop, we’ll see you soon at 33 Marshall Street. (We’ll be the ones wide eyed with excitement and drooling with lust!)
