This Saturday marks the opening of V&A East, a new outpost of the South Kensington institution. A stone’s throw from Westfield in Stratford, it will be home to two free permanent galleries spanning 500 objects (including Molly Goddard’s fabulous Daria dress, which was worn by Beyoncé).
It will also have a curated shop championing the works of local brands and makers. The edit is geared towards a younger (and dare we imagine cooler, less-touristy) demographic than in SW7. And more than two thirds of what is being stocked will retail for less than £30.
