WAREHOUSE, TEXTUS & Tanveer Ahmed invite you to WAREHOUSE MARKET LONDON
Friday 3 - Sunday 5 April
Torriano Meeting House, 99 Torriano Avenue, NW5 2RX
Join us for a three-day marketplace and events programme, bringing together independent fashion, textiles and publications from artists, designers and publishers.
Shop unique pieces you won’t find anywhere else, while exploring the stories behind them.
Through detailed labels handwritten by each maker, the market highlights what goes into the production of the works on sale, opening up important conversations around labour, value and community.
Alongside the marketplace, Tanveer Ahmed and Lottie McCrindell have curated an exciting programme of talks, workshops and readings
All events are free to attend and further details about each individual event will be published soon
A huge thank you to the makers who are sharing and selling their one-of-a-kind designs at WAREHOUSE MARKET LONDON & to the writers, artists and community organisers who are sharing their work with us across the weekend’s event programme
Hope to see you there ❤️❤️❤️❓❓❓🧷🧷🧷

How many hours made your clothes? 50? 200? More? How do you define production hours?
For the first day of WAREHOUSE MARKET LONDON × TEXTUS, the garments were organised by the number of hours the designer said went into their making, opening up important conversations around labour and value.
Thank you to the Torriano Meeting House for hosting WAREHOUSE MARKET LONDON x TEXTUS
Such a special space for making projects like this possible and for bringing people together. We love you ❤️

Thank you to Lucy and editor Gabriel Mealor-Pritchard for publishing this piece @lucybrunner_@gabrixlwintxr
Thank you to SWANKY MODES and to everyone who joined their fashion history walk from Kentish Town to Camden, ending at the spot where their shop once stood from 1972 to 1993.
Incredibly special and thought-provoking to hear their memories and reflections from opening the store to how the area’s shopping culture and economy have dramatically changed.
The name ‘Swanky Modes’ was chosen as a playful pairing, combining ‘swanky’, which in 1972 evoked a louche, extravagant persona, with the more decorous ‘modes,’ then still used to describe provincial high street fashion shops dating from pre WWI.
Warehouse in Conversation with Makers in the Market
On opening night, Yumo Yuan and Saskia Lenaerts joined Warehouse in conversation, reflecting on what makes a meaningful market while opening up wider questions around labour, value and community in fashion.
They discussed their favourite (and least favourite) markets, audience, purpose and the realities of working as an independent designer today. Yumo highlighted the importance of understanding the histories and politics materials carry, while Saskia shared her practice of reworking military garments through collaborative workshops into pieces of critical reflection and care.
Thank you Saskia and Yumo for sharing your experiences and insights with us ❤️ @world_saskia@yuanyumo_
