Who. What. Where?
Napapijri is kicking off this week’s Who. What. Where? as they take inspiration from the archive of iconic London department store, Liberty, reinvigorating classic designs into its signature silhouettes for a new capsule. The collection is dedicated to creative travellers moved by self-expression and the pursuit of creativity, drawing on Liberty’s extensive collection of unique textiles. The capsule features a wide selection of anoraks, hoodies, and t-shirts as well as travel essentials, including bucket hats, waist bags, and packable backpacks and totes – ensuring the collection is suitable for a wide array of activities.
Next, if you’re in London next week and looking for something to get you in the valentine’s day mood, look no further than the Addicted to Love exhibition. Featuring Two of the UK’s leading contemporary artists, Eve De Haan and Sara Pope, the exhibition looks to inspire, uplift and ‘share the love’ through the artist’s distinctive yet interconnected practices. With Pope’s signature pop art-inspired lips alongside De Haan’s affirming text-based works in neon, the joint exhibition explores every aspect of romance, from lust to connection and seduction to intimacy. Running 8th February – 11th March at London’s Quantus Gallery, Addicted to Love coincides with Valentine’s Day (14th February), London Fashion Week (17th – 21st February) and International Women’s Day (8th March).
