A series of events highlighting local artisans and entrepreneurs who embody creativity, sustainability, and the community ethos within Islington.
Scarf Styling Workshop with COLUCCI
As part of our Made in Islington Fashion & Lifestyle Pop-Up, we’re excited to host a beautifully intimate styling session with COLUCCI, one of the standout accessory brands in our community.
Led by the brand’s founder and creative director, Angelica Colucci, this workshop invites you to explore the art of scarf styling in a relaxed, hands-on setting. You’ll learn a curated mix of classic, creative, and modern techniques that show just how transformative a silk scarf can be — whether you’re refreshing your everyday wardrobe or elevating looks for the season’s exhibitions, gatherings, and festive events.
You’re welcome to bring along a favourite scarf to experiment with, or try pieces from the COLUCCI silk collection, which will also be available for browsing and shopping on the day.
This workshop is part of our wider mission to champion independent makers, share skills, and create space for meaningful, creative experiences within our pop-up at Good Space.
Join us for an inspiring, elegant workshop that brings a touch of luxury — and creativity — to your winter season.
