Maconie said of the opening: “It was my 2023 goal to open a pop-up in central London, specifically Soho, and my team has made it possible to do exactly that.”

The womenswear brand was founded in 2019 by Georgia Dant, who previously worked at Burberry and Rag & Bone. Commuting on a regular basis, she spotted an opportunity to create a buildable, functional collection to work across any climate, season or occasion.
Known for its sustainable and ethical production practices, recycled and deadstock fabrics are sourced responsibly in Italy and Japan. Marfa Stance pieces are also designed with longevity in mind with a new twist, such as a collar or a hood, added every season to further the life cycle of each garment. Expect the signature deep-pocketed quilted jackets, alongside parkas, bombers, bags and more at this must-catch fashion pop-up.

LYIA, founded by former stylist turned designer Lia Souza, looks to the indoors, taking inspiration from the sophisticated 70s glamour of Bianca Jagger and Yves Saint Laurent’s effortless Rive Gauche ready-to-wear line. The womenswear label, which puts sustainability and inclusivity at the fore, offers a tightly edited, buildable capsule, including simple slips and dresses, silk bow neck blouses and softly-tailored trousers.

Anya Hindmarch x Women’s Institute pop-up
Until 26 March
When it comes to eclectic pop-ups, Anya Hindmarch is the undisputed queen. Last year it was all about her ice cream store, where you could pick up flavours like baked beans and Heinz ketchup. Now she’s teamed up with the Women’s Institute to create her latest concept, It Takes a Village. The pop-up brings together a range of female craftspeople to offer a selection of beautiful products, ranging from hand-stitched quilts and tufted rugs to Hindmarch’s own raffia and hand-beaded pieces. The highlight of the project is the one-of-a-kind protest pouches, which have been embroidered and sewn by makers across the country, inspired by the original WI banners.
