Jewelry designer and celebrity piercer Maria Tash is hosting a piercing pop-up for London Fashion Week AW16. While Tash is known as the piercer to the stars back in New York, now she is set to take London by storm.
Tash's piercing pop-up will run for 10 days during London Fashion Week AW16. The pop-up will be held inside the Liberty department store in order to directly serve London Fashion Week's most influential individuals. The pop-up will offer high-end piercings such as 18-carat gold, diamonds, sapphires and opals. Each piece comes at a premium cost, with tiny helix piercings starting at £250. For those who are not interested in adorning their ears, the pop-up will also be selling Tash's beautiful jewelry collection.
The high-end pop-up provides an creative alternative for those who may not have tickets for the main runway events.
