Brilliant Vintage Fashion Pop-Ups In London To Discover This SpringPin

For the first time since 2019, Alex Eagle’s hugely popular #SheInspiresMe fashion car boot sale is back with a bang, being hosted at the Selfridges Car Park and powered by their resale platform Resellfridges. Featuring a treasure trove of past season, vintage and pre-loved items donated by designers, brands and some of the capital’s most stylish tastemakers, including Laura Bailey, Simone Rocha and Skye McAlpine, come to browse boots crammed full of Balenciaga, Celine, Chanel and Gucci finds.

Held in aid of Women for Women International, 100% of the proceeds from the sale will go directly to supporting the charity’s work with women survivors of war – since launching in 2016, the Car Boot Sales have so far managed to raise over £700,000 for the cause. “We are thrilled to be bringing the #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale back in real-life this year and are excited to invite you to join forces with us to help women living in some of the world’s most dangerous places,” says Eagle. “This is your chance to take part in the fashion extravaganza and to be a life-changing force for the women we serve at a time when they need it the most.”

Aja Barber

Sustainable fashion platform SlowCo will be launching their first ever physical space with a two-week pop-up at Box Park Shoreditch from Wednesday 20 April, just in time for Fashion Revolution Week. There’ll be a panel discussion looking at Sustainability and Fashion in 2022, featuring writer Aja Barber, as well as the opportunity to browse their carefully curated collection of clothes in the flesh. 

The platform aims to create a community of sustainable fashion brands, with a “less but better” attitude to clothes and an inclusive offering that does away with the traditional Womenswear/Menswear labels and instead takes a unique Femme/Masc/All approach. You can rest assured that you’re shopping from only the finest eco labels, which have all passed their rigorous filter based on ten core sustainability values.
