The Secret Emporium team returns once again with another edition of their famed Christmas Market. Expect to find over 50 independent designers under one roof at the Nicholls & Clarke Building in Shoreditch, just moments from Liverpool Street station.
Who will be taking part? Hackney based Strange-Loop (above) make body adornments, &WRK are two illustrators who met in the set design industry and now make accessories. Jewellery Designer of the Year finalist Jessica de Lotz will be joining Rosita Bonita & EA Burns (both favourites of Amelia's Magazine) and other jewellery designers including Alexa De Castilho, Coops, Tessa Metcalfe Jewellery, Diane Turner & Kate Gilliland.
Margaux Clavel & Tawn are both emerging designers to watch and Magnetic Zeros makes decidedly cosmic apparel. For the men Workhouse & Sir Plus create structured tailoring. There will be a macabre but beautiful collection from Kim Zoe Wagner Custom Taxidermy and knitwear from Giannina Capitani. And of course, expect Secret Emporium eccentricity from Lady Gonzalez. Whet your appetite by watching this promotional video.
Beyond the shopping, enjoy food and drink curated by Wilderness Festival. Think Bloody Marys and eggs from The Breakfast Club, gourmet burgers from Bleecker St Burger and a mulled cider bar hosted by Smokey Tails. Interactive performance comes from Son & Sons, and the Black Cab Photobooth will be parked outside so you can give everyone a picture of yourself this Christmas. As usual there will be a Grand Christmas Tree Raffle, for which each of the designers has kindly created and donated a unique, handmade tree decoration. One very lucky raffle ticket winner will get to take home over 50 one-off designs. It will certainly be the best dressed Christmas tree in London this winter and all raffle proceeds go to the homeless charity, Shelter.
