Fashion trends may come and go, but the age-old dilemma of what to wear today is omnipresent. A full wardrobe isn’t a guarantee that you’ll find the perfect OOTD, so what’s the best way to revamp your look without busting your budget? It’s pop up sales! And with the weather taking a turn, we’ve rounded up four pop-ups that will help you do just that. From one that supports a cause – yes, shopping for good – to a showcase of Pakistani fashion, get ready to indulge in retail therapy.
The Trunk Show – Style For A Cause
After a successful show in Mumbai late last year, The Trunk Show is now dropping anchor in Delhi and bringing collections by some of the most sought after young Indian designers. Apart from apparel, shoppers can also look forward to chic accessories as well as cutting edge skincare products.
We’ve been lusting after Runaway Bicycle’s breezy designs in cotton and khadi for some time now and you can pick up their most popular designs here. Or shop for silver jewellery and apparel inspired by Indian handicrafts courtesy Zoyashi, clothes in handwoven and earthy fabrics by Khadijeh, handmade sustainable fashion by Jaipur-based label Tokree, comfortable bags by Square Loop, organic skincare products by Ayca and more.
Where: Alliance Francaise, 72 KK Birla Marg, Lodhi Estate
When: April 5th to 6th, 10.30 am to 6 pm
Pakistani Exhibition
We love a lot of things from across the border, especially Pakistani fashion that is popular for its cuts, elegance and understated style. Now Delhiites can include the season’s best picks from our neighbours courtesy Anhad. The designer lifestyle store focusses on bringing distinguished brands from Pakistan to our shores, and this exhibition will include both ethnic and Western wear.
Shop from a ready-to-wear collection by Khaadi, bridal wear and luxury prêt by Faraz Manan and wearable chic clothing by Zara Shahjahan. Other participating labels include Maria B, Sana Safinaz, Sobia Nazir, Rungrez and Gul Ahmed.
Where: Anhad, 170 A B, Ground Floor, DLF Place, Saket
When: April 8th, 11 am to 9 pm
The Big Pop Up
A two-day fashion extravaganza – this one promises the best in apparel, makeup and accessories. Check out the silver jewellery by Tanvi Garg, whose collection is a mix of the timeless and the modern using traditional Indian designs. The intricately handcrafted clutches and bags by Lovetobag are just the accessory you need to complete a festive look. But if you have something more casual in mind, we highly recommend Aditi’s homegrown brand Vitasta that churns out understated yet stylish handcrafted bags.
Where: 7, Ishwar Nagar, Opposite Surya Hotel
When: April 8th to 9th, 11 am to 7 pm
Tana Bana
A lifestyle exhibition that puts the spotlight on the work of weavers and artisans from Benaras, Tana Bana is our top pick for an ethnic update. The team believes that it’s important to give back to local and traditional artists, so they have picked up each piece of clothing straight from the source. Go here to shop for luxurious Benarasi silk sarees, brocade fabrics and colourful dupattas that will work for both summer and winter wear.
Where: DLF Club 5, Golf Course Road, Gurgaon
When: April 14th, 10 am to 7 pm
