Art Pop-up
Check out this fantastic art pop-up right in the heart of London! Brought together by the Mayor of London, London Made Me is one shop and home to 14 vibrant creatives this December!
This unique boutique store features a series of creative and bespoke gifts made by talented makers and artists from across the Mayor of London’s Creative Enterprise Zones.
Catch 14 selected London-based creative businesses from across the Mayor’s nine Creative Enterprise Zones as they come together in an intensive four-week programme to learn, build and trade their own collective shop experience on Regent Street. The Mayor of London’s Creative Enterprise Zones have partnered with Alice Mayor, founder of successful Carnaby Street based pop-up shop and brand We Built This City, The Crown Estate and Hypha Studios to pilot a new creative sector retail training model and pop-up shop project known as London Made Me.
This pop-up programme has been tailored to inspire, tool-up and empower the city’s most exciting creatives to ultimately launch their own curated spaces and help transform our London high streets. The creatives attended a five-day training programme which focused on developing the practical skills, expertise and mindset necessary to establish and launch a successful retail experience in today’s challenging high street environment.
Right now, until 20 December you can visit the London Made Me pop-up on Regent Street at which houses 14 creative brands, from across the London Creative Enterprise Zones, under one roof. Creatives will sell their products and deliver a scheduled programme of events and public activations across the festive season. Explore sustainability-focused, rising stars from the worlds of art and fashion, jewellery-design, tableware and much more!

Siân Dorman Creations
Born & raised a Haringey resident has shaped me into the passionate, determined, creative and resourceful person that I am today.
'Community' brings me a sense of purpose which is at the heart of my creations.
As a designer and maker, my mission is to inspire others to see the beauty in the discarded.
Waste materials are the foundation of my designs, collected by individuals in my community.
With these materials I experiment, manipulate, and upcycle to make beautiful sculptural wearable art.

His matchbox series is inspired by the Matchgirls’ strike in which the women of the Bryant & May match factory in Bow took industrial action, becoming torch bearers for change. These matchbox designs are a playful exploration of some of Will’s own reflections on modern life.

Em Wear
Em Wear is my passion! After 15 years working for large high street retailers, I wanted to create a brand that was about fun, colourful clothing for all ages and sizes. My kids love choosing their own fabrics and colours and I now give others that opportunity as an alternative to the stereotypes on the high street.

Luciano Rocha
House of Frisson is part of my sustainable practice to reuse and repurpose existing objects. By painting and applying collage onto ceramic plates, vases, picture frames, etc.
My art advocates who I am and the things I like, from pop culture to provocative sayings and quotes; all thrown in with striking colours, a good sense of humour and of course an eye for detail, that is expected from an architect.
