The Shop at Bluebird is launching a six-week pop-up celebrating African design, inspiration and collaboration within fashion, accessories and interiors at its Covent Garden flagship.
The ‘Between Us’ pop-up will welcome over twenty designers, from womenswear and accessories to interiors and lifestyle, curated by the founder and executive director of Lagos Fashion Week, Omoyemi Akerele and brand consultants Tammy Tinker Pudel and Katrina Macpherson, who are based out of Cape Town.
The showcase will predominately feature talents from Nigeria and South Africa, which have been bought together for the first time in London, with the aim of representing the “vibrant and dynamic facets of African design and community” and will include traditional handcraft and local production to cultural and political messaging through fashion.
Participating brands include Aaks, Anyango Mpinga, Aprelleduany, Ardmore Design, Asha Eleven, Chommies, Crystal Birch, Eki Orleans, Eclectic Chique, Galago, Iamsigo, Karu, Lisa Folawiyo, Lukhanyo Mdingi, Mami Wata, Maxhosa, Nina Bosch, Okapi, Orange Culture, Pop Caven, Studio 189 and Tilayo.
