A warming welcome to the Branded Heritage pop up store, as we see budding brands capture the eyes of Camden. Along side generating sales they are also raising funds for the Fashion Awareness Direct Charity. As you enter the shop there is a real upbeat vibe, and the Branded Heritage layout fits perfectly into the shop space.
The store offers quite an immense variety from clothing collections such as Judy Wu, TDW, Print Monkeys, and a lingerie line called Iris. Plus two accessories/jewellery brands called Only Child and Chalk, if that isn’t enough start up brand Amma is in the shop window customising trainers.
There was some great foot traffic through out the day and the CEO of F.A.D “Maria Alvarez De Toledo” came and showed her support. As the evening crept upon us the atmosphere turned more relaxed and canapés made by “Pierre’s Finest Cuisine” circled the shop floor. The fashion VIP’s, stylists, media, bloggers and press networked together whilst filming proceeded in the shop front. Amongst the guests was TV presenter “Gail Porter” and CEO, Editor-In-Chief of Fashion Plus Magazine
CMG Global organised the pop up shop event as a part of a bigger project, which is the Branded Heritage documentary. The overall aim of the project is to raise awareness of British fashion and branding so we can bring manufacturing back to the UK. Come down to the shop and see how gifted the designers of Britain really are.
