Last night Kwaleö and Not Just Another Store teamed up for a pop-up event celebrating fashion, creativity and self-confidence. We went down to get inspired... and see what everyone was wearing!
Part exhibition, part motivational talk, Kwaleo & Not Just Another Store's round table on The Journey Towards Self-Confidence centred around a discussion from an esteemed panel of speakers, including fashion based multi-hyphenates Marques Emmanuel and Jourdan Riane, body positivity influencer Lauren Talulah and influencer/model Amanda Char.
As well as being an evening celebrating self-confidence, it was also a perfect opportunity for East London's creatives to get together and celebrate their mutual love of fashion and clothing... and maybe flex a little.
Everyone looked amazing, but here are some of our favourite outfits from the evening...
Name: Monica
Job: Retail Assistant
IG: @_ka.mo
Why we love it: This jacket is crazy! We were all set to cop one ourselves, but sadly it's custom. Devastated tbh.
Names: Alex and Daniel
Jobs: Menswear designer and model
IG: @alexmartirossian and @ddesms
Why we love it: There's so much to love with both these fits; Alex's custom jeans are amazing and pair so well with his Jordan IV's, and we love Daniel's mix of streetwear and high fashion. Both are very strong looks.
Name: Rūta
Job: Retail manager
IG: @rutaskemaite
Why we love it: This look is a masterclass in clean lines and simplicity, and the metallic shoes set it all off perfectly.
Name: Marques
Jobs: Model/Influencer/Actor
IG: @ma.rgues
Why we love it: Four words: pastel colour double denim 💥
Name: Ashden
Job: Rapper/musician
IG: @ashdensworld
Why we love it: Carhartt overalls will never go out of style, and it's always great to see them being worn so well. We're big fans of this simple-yet-steezy outfit.
Name: Hanna
Job: Barista/musician
IG: @joko_hard
Why we love it: Hanna has paired some vintage and custom pieces with high street clothing really well, we love the clashing animal patterns. Proof that sometimes, more is more.
