Who. What. Where? No. 90

Welcome to HUNGER’s Who. What. Where? Your one stop shop for all the latest and greatest upcoming events and cultural fixes.

First up, it’s over to Flannels – purveyors of all things luxe designer – who have just opened their flagship store in Leeds. The store marks the sixth time Flannels has put down roots in the cities of mighty Blighty, and it’s a goodie — set over six floors, it boasts not just designer fashion and beauty, but a full-scale homeware edit, as well as a gym and cafe. There’s a little something for everyone when it comes to their fashion offerings, too. Think cult-y streetwear labels like Anine Bing and Represent, and crème de la crème of high-end. Miu Miu, Gucci, FENDI — you name it, they’ve got it. Find out more here

Though all you low-level ravers have probably packed up your dancing shoes, there’s still a host of good (and probably a bit messy) music events taking place across the capital. Case in point? Jamie Jones presents Paradise, taking place at Drumsheds this Saturday. As well as Jamie Jones, there’s sets by Hot Since 82, Darius Syrossian and a whole load of other names you’ll recognise if you’re into the underground house and techno. How would we describe Drumsheds? The former IKEA showroom feels slightly apocalyptic and has more than ample space for yabbering to strangers and getting off your tits. It’s like a druggy playground. Tickets are on last release, so act quickly. 

One for your Instagram fashion girlies now — Fruity Booty, who sell, let’s face it, the best underwear, are hosting a pop-up in London’s Soho. Taking place from today until next Monday, they’ll be pieces that are exclusive to the event, bits and bobs from other brands – namely, Frisson Knits and tenderbooks – as well as samples and more. It will also be like going to a Zoo for “It” girls, so there’s that. Follow their Instagram for more details. 

If you head on over to the Southbank from tomorrow, you can catch a glimpse of Koestler Arts: No Comment. Curated by Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller and ex-prisoner turned artist John Costi, the exhibition showcases pieces by artists in criminal justice settings. The 200 works on display have been selected out of a huge 2000 entries and take the form of everything from writing to music. It’s also free, so you really don’t have an excuse. More info here

Our final dose of culture is Tim Mielants film Small Things Like These, based on the novella by Claire O’Keegan. Sure, this one was released back on the 1st of this month, but it’s stuck around in cinemas because it’s likely going to sweep Oscar season. Exploring the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland (look it up) through the eyes of Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy), it’s a poignant historical drama that will stick with you long after you’ve finished your popcorn. We recommend popping out to see this one at Homerton’s The Castle Cinema, which is all lovely and art-deco, and quite a different experience to your local Vue. Tickets here
