FASHION students are selling their latest wares in a new pop-up shop in Camden Town.

Inspired by the vibrant art and architecture of Camden Town, the Spirit of Camden shop has replaced an empty shell in Camden High Street.

Camden Town Unlimited rents out empty shops free to up-and-coming independent businesses in a recession-busting bid to keep the High Street thriving.

CTU chief executive Simon Pitkeathley posed alongside the student models, from Heriot Watt University in Scotland.

He said: “Bringing new and innovative fashion to the High Street is another way of reminding Londoners what Camden Town is all about and is an integral part of our collective project.”
