More Joy got its start in 2019 as the "fearless and relatable counterpart" to the Christopher Kane brand and the newly opened More Joy pop-up is sharing much-needed aspirational and positive fashion and accessories in London. Central to the More Joy Summer 2021 collection is the idea of higher ideals and replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts. The collection includes everything from pool slides to shirts, swimwear and home goods, as well as the unisex More Joy x Le Specs sunglasses collab.
At a time when people are feeling hopeful and ready to ease back into the world post-lockdown, the uplifting designs at the pop-up are bound to resonate with those who want to surround themselves with higher vibrations and plenty of uplifting daily affirmations.
