Carnaby launches pop-up with London College of Fashion graduates

A pop-up shop has launched in Carnaby featuring the two winners of the Shaftesbury Award for Emerging Designers: Stephanie Hensley and Zoran Dobric, graduates of the London College of Fashion. The project creates an opportunity to view and buy exclusive Master of Arts Degree collections by up and coming designers and runs until 21 July at Unit 1.16 Kingly Court, just off Carnaby Street. Stephanie Hensley is a women’s shoe designer who will showcase her collection, Made in China: Longevity Series, an assortment of high quality luxury footwear, inspired by her travels in China. The feminine and elaborate collection references historical Chinese processes, shapes, and imagery, as well as utilising unconventional materials rarely used in footwear. Stephanie’s celebrity clientele include Lady Gaga and Estelle Rubio. The collection is made to order and prices are available upon request. Zoran Dobric is a womenswear designer whose collection is based on research of Canadian West Coast Aboriginals, particularly 'Ceremonial Dancing Blankets'. The collection also features exclusive digital prints developed by Dobric, inspired by geometrically cryptic Canadian Northwest coast art. Prices range from £150 to £600. An opening reception is taking place this evening from 6pm
