If you’ve been inspired by glam rock lately with the David Bowie exibition at the V&A, you’ll love Charles of London. This week they have a pop up shop in East London at 54 Rivington Street and I just happened to pass by while I was prepping for a shoot. Designers Mark Charles and Susan Diamond were still setting up the shop. They weren’t quite open (they’re open Fri Mar 29 – Wed Apr 3, 11am-7pm) but they let me come in and have a sneaky peek. I love an explosion of print and colour – it just makes me happy. It’s all glam rock and punk with high collared jackets, shorts biker jackets and leggings. Charles of London is all made in UK.








Pop up Shop Friday – Wednesday 11-7pm, 54 Rivington Street London,EC2 A3Q
