‘Pop-Up Crisis’ Christmas shop to return to Savile Row with donations from celebs and brands

The annual 'Pop-Up Crisis' Christmas shop is set to open at 18-19 Savile Row in London, running from 8-13 December, with donations from a host of celebrities, Savile Row tailors and luxury brands to raise funds for the homeless charity.

Actors including Emma Corrin, Naomie Harris, and Louis Partridge are all donating to a raffle as well as to the pop-up shop, as are supermodels David Gandy and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker.

The shop will also be selling designer goods donated by Savile Row’s Anderson & Sheppard, Huntsman, Dugdale Bros & Co, Holland & Sherry, Scabal, Norton & Sons, Richard Anderson, and Richard James, as well as a wide range of brands and retailers, including Barbour, John Smedley, Crockett & Jones, Johnstons of Elgin, Grenson, Tod’s, Wales Bonner, Universal Works, Mr Porter, and Manolo Blahnik.

This year, supermodel David Gandy will also be curating an exclusive online edit on shopfromcrisis.com, featuring donations from his own wardrobe as well as items from friends, including former footballer and pundit Jamie Redknapp and his Sandbanks brand, and from Aspinal of London.

Gandy said: “It’s a real privilege to be a part of Pop-Up Crisis once again this Christmas. Having supported Crisis for a number of years, I’m delighted to have had the opportunity to curate my own online edit this year with the help of some of my close friends.

“It means a lot to know that donations from my own wardrobe are going towards such an important cause. Whether you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift or to treat yourself, your purchase can help make a real difference to people facing homelessness this Christmas.”

Liz Choonara, Executive Director of Commerce and Enterprise at Crisis, commented: “Pop-Up Crisis is such an iconic event in the Crisis calendar and one that we look forward to every year. We’re thrilled to be partnering with the team once again for another week celebrating the iconic craftsmanship and style of Savile Row – with all proceeds going towards our crucial work to end homelessness.

“We’re incredibly grateful to both the Pop-Up Crisis team and The Pollen Estate for their dedication, generosity and enthusiasm. With the support of their fantastic friends and connections in the fashion world, we’re able to deliver a festive shopping experience you won’t find anywhere else that also supports our mission to end homelessness.”

Jenny Casebourne, Property Director of The Pollen Estate, added: “Since the first pop-up on Savile Row in 2018, The Pollen Estate has been a proud supporter of the Crisis at Christmas charity campaign, which has raised over half a million pounds to help end homelessness in London.

“Many of our Savile Row tailors and neighbouring brands contribute to this vital cause, and it is inspiring to see the local community come together.

“We are delighted to be hosting the sartorial charity pop-up once again this year on Savile Row — London’s ultimate destination for craftsmanship, style and the bespoke tailoring experience, as well as a champion of slow fashion.”

There will also be a ‘Student and Apprentice’ evening event on 11 December, from 5pm to 8pm, with cloth and trimmings from the likes of Dugdale Bros & Co, Holland & Sherry, Scabal, and many more available at accessible prices.

Pop-Up Crisis was founded in 2018 by Anda Rowland, Director of Anderson & Sheppard, and menswear stylist and writer Tom Stubbs.
