Rundle Place will have a new temporary resident just in time for the EOFY shopping rush with Adelaide designer Cristina Tridente of couture+love+madness to host a pop up store from Friday 24 June, giving customers a chance to shop the stunning Lady Camellia Collection plus pieces from collections gone by.
There will be a glass of bubbles on the opening night with jewellery from USE by Simon Williams, handbags from Clarence Frank Australia and wonderfully colourful floral headpieces from Bizzarro.
Of course, Cristina herself has just returned from the 16th annual Qingdao International Fashion Festival in Qingdao, China where she showcased her Spring Summer 2016 Collection. In 2015, C+L+M was the first Australian label invited to showcase at the Festival, and the public has since fallen in love with the Lady Camellia range; a romantic, whimsical collection that took a big inspiration from one of Cristina’s favourite flowers.
And according to Rundle Place Centre Manager Kate Jarman, we can expect more pop ups in the future. “We are welcoming these pop-up shops as a way of invigorating Rundle Place and diversifying the offering and it’s great to be able to highlight this incredible local designer and to showcase Cristina’s talent,” she said.
As a local designer reaching out into the international market, pop ups like this just don’t happen every week!
couture+love+madness will be in Rundle Place from 24 June to 3 July. Follow the pop up via their Facebook event.
