Emerging Fervour

We covered Sketchbook Magazine a while back, and we’re so happy to announce that they’re having a pop-up shop showcasing some hot talent. Some we’ve covered, such as Ada Zanditon, Alice Palmer, Harriett’s Muse and Heidi Mottram. Others, including Yan To, Viking Wong, Swagga and Soul and Dejan Agatonovic are designers we haven’t covered, but are all coming to exclusively sell their samples, graduate collections or one-offs in store.

There will be stunning knitwear from Alice Palmer; covetable eel skin bags and purses from Heidi Mottram; innovative and desirable garments from the highly-acclaimed ethical designer Ada Zanditon and decadent and quirky designs from the mischievous Harriet’s Muse.

This show/shop is part of a three-week foray into the worlds of fashion, journalism, art and design, and is part of the celebration of Carnaby’s 50 years of fashion and music.

From 31st March to 19th April, visitors will be able to meet a number of Sketchbook’s contributing bloggers, artists, designers, illustrators and editors, and mingle with the cream of the contemporary fashion and arts industry.

We always knew Heidi Mottram’s beautiful eel skin bags are pieces of art but if you need convincing, make sure you visit the new exhibition taking place at Celia Purcell Contemporary. Her bags are cherished as contemporary pieces of art as part of the ‘Window Shopping with George Galitzine’ exhibition. His painting of the fashion shops in Sloane Street and Duke of York Square, on the Cadogan Estate featue Chanel, Ferragamo, La Perla, Dior, St Laurent and many others.

Be quick though as the show will take place from today, October 12th to October 17th 2009 at Celia Purcell Contemporary, 27 Kings Road, NW6 7DY London.
