Not so long ago, in a land only a door knock away, the swans played shop in east london for the summer of 2010 and all of our friends came down for the launch party to help us celebrate. Opening it's doors on the 12th of August, Serafina Steer performed at the launch party, and swan original Lily Vanilli was there to sweeten things up with her red velvet cupcakes. Thanks to Static Caravan and Stolen Recordings for granting us permission to feature Serafina's song "Margaton" from Change is good, Change is good" on this short flick, and to Guy Stephens for filming the night.
A nostalgic moment for our designers and friends, and the sprawling warehouse style space of the east, we now have a cosy little nest for the winter at 1.2 Kingly Court, and we are ushering in a new season with yummy arrivals for autumn/winter.
‘Swanfield on Tour’ was set up in December 2008 by Cecilia Hammarborg and Katherine Pont from Mine - both active and creative fashion designers in East London - they were joined by artful cupcake maker Lily Jones ( aka Lily Vanilli ) & a collective of other artists, musicians & designers who contributed to the pop-up boutique events originally hosted every Sunday on Swanfield St near Brick Lane.
First stop was 3 Lowndes Court in the Newburgh Quarter for the summer of 2009…
Second stop leading up to christmas was a residency at 1.2 Kingly Court between Carnaby & Kingly Streets in Soho…
Third stop, the swans flew east for the summer of 2010 with an exciting venue beside the legendary Hoxton Boutique at 2 Hoxton Street in Shoreditch...
Fouth stop, we returned to our nesting place at 1.2 Kingly Court for christmas 2010.
