East London's research lab for emerging designers

Featured in The Best Fashion Stores in the World

APOC is an East London store and platform devoted to emerging designers, functioning as much like a research project as a shop. Launched during the Covid-19 pandemic as an e-commerce platform before opening its doors in 2025, it gives young and experimental talent a physical home, presenting their work with an energy that mirrors the city’s creative scene. Buyers and fashion insiders treat it as a place to discover names before they surface elsewhere. For the newest, most forward-looking design in London, it’s a key destination.
