Local community group, The Community Brain (TCB), is hosting its second fashion pop-up event in the Hook Centre in Chessington from 12pm – 4pm on Friday, 24 October and Saturday, 25 October.

TCB has held a number of events celebrating the history of fashion in Kingston this year, with the latest featuring a catwalk of outfits from the last 200 years at Waterloo Station.

After 10 months celebrating Kingston's fashion heritage, TCB is now looking to the future of glamour in the borough with a series of pop-up photo studios this month.

Part of its year-long 60 Years of Fashion in Kingston project, the pop-ups will be open to the public with the aim of creating a photographic archive of local tastes and styles for the town's future residents.

Attendees will receive a free photoshoot from a professional photographer, with the photos shared in an online gallery while the archive is underway.

Visitors are encouraged to come dressed in their favourite outfits, or clothes they love but rarely have an excuse to wear.

The first event took place in the Bentall Centre earlier this month.
