Contemporary Jewellery Pop-up Shop in Clerkenwell


Three contemporary jewellers are opening a pop-up shop in Clerkenwell for six days in mid June to showcase and sell their work.

"Three remarkable London based contemporary jewellers Jenny Llewellyn, Sarah Straussberg and Karolina Paszkiewicz have decided to collaborate for The London Jewellery Week 2013 and organise a Pop Up Shop in the heart of Clerkenwell.
Jenny works with silicone and precious metals to create pieces inspired by the luminous colours, shapes and movement of creatures from the deep sea. Her continued experimentation with silicone is what drives her design process. Playing with silicones limitless properties and translucent nature, she incorporate subtle colour fades and sensual shape to create vibrant playful jewellery. (With the extra hidden element that all pieces glow in the dark!) 
Sarah's jewellery combines sculptural forms with wearable designs, creating fashionable and easy to wear jewellery that will compliment any outfit. The work comprises of Sterling Silver with 18ct Gold vermeil. Some pieces include black resin, encased within the brushed matt surface of the Gold. Inspiration often comes from patterns in nature and then Straussberg develops forms and structures from these findings. The 'Lily' range was inspired by breaking down the original forms of the 'Ellie' range and creating the 'skeleton' of the form.
Karolina’s collection utilises the natural beauty of the butterfly in a way that has never been done before. This is due to an original technique, created and developed by her, which gives eternal life to butterflies by capturing and maintaining their living beauty even after they have passed away. The result is a range of stunning individual pieces that not only incorporate the beauty and history of that particular butterfly but also her passion and excellence for the industry. (All butterflies died naturally)."

Conquer's Wardrobe Pop-up Shop in Sydenham


Photo - Sebastian Stobbs

Conquer's Wardrobe is an ethical fashion and art pop up shop in Sydenham and is part of the SEE3 Shop Revolution, part of the Portas Pilot Project.

"Ethical fashion and art collective Conquer Gear have created a special Pop Up shop featuring a capsule collection of clothing, an exclusive photographic exhibition and curated range of crafts in Sydenham, running until Christmas Eve. Local residents and Londoners are fast spreading the news, with John Malkovich becoming a recent fan and an editorial magazine feature on ethical fashion coming up early next year.
Conquer Gear is a diverse collective of artists and imaginers fronted by Sebastian Stobbs and Tomoya Hiramatsu creating a wide range of innovative and provocative design across different mediums – everything relating to the printed image and written word – fashion, film, photography, art. The company has a strict ethical policy supporting the Environmental Justice Foundation’s Clean Cotton Campaign and all cotton fabrics are clearly labelled with country of origin.
Conquer are hosting regular Friday evening events and activities until 9pm throughout the Pop Up period. On the day of the launch, Saturday December 1st, Sebastian Stobbs was amazed by the response and said: “It was over in a second, everyone coming into the shop had enormous enthusiasm for what was trying to be achieved in their community. We didn't stop chatting with people all day long. It was just so nice to see how many people had come out to join in.”
A lot of preparation went into getting the space ready and also wardrobes to find for the clothes! Sebastian also added: “Everyone I knew that came to visit said ‘I knew it was a shop space, but I didn't think it would look this good, I'm very proud’ with such a small amount of time it was lovely to hear it was all worth the effort."
Before the launch Sebastian said: “Conquer are very excited to be part of the SEE3 Community Project. There is a real buzz around Forest Hill, Sydenham and Kirkdale with all the regeneration that is happening. It is made possible by enthusiastic local residents that have made us feel welcome before we have fully moved in. We are looking forward to being part of the community and adding some fun and creativity to the local high streets.”
Conquer’s Wardrobe was launched through The Shop Revolution, a high impact project that aims to bring empty units back into use and interest to the high street through the introduction of pop up shops. This project is one of three strands of the South London SEE3 Portas Pilot Project."
