We have seen great success with the previous Fashion For Relief pop-up shops, in 2014 we raised £65,000 and the entire store sold out in seven days. This year, the designer store will be bigger and better with hundreds of designer pieces on sale, and a great schedule of interactive events to give shoppers an amazing in-store experience whilst purchasing the perfect festive party dress or Christmas present for their loved one.
