Three, including two eXpression companies will open the doors of their pop-up shops in the MVG gallery on Monday.

The three temporary pop-up shops will share WESC's former space in the MVG gallery and the common name for the shops is Forum. The stores will be open during Umeå Fashion Week, 24-30 September.

One of the companies is Umá, run by Umeå residents Philip Lundström and Ludvig Oskarsson.

We've both been interested in clothes for a long time," says Philip, explaining that they specialise in fashion from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
It feels great to have a place to sell our clothes in, continues Philip.

The other eXpression company is the unisex brand Team Scandi. They will showcase their new collection Visit Scandinavia, which was introduced during the Stockholm Fashion Week earlier this autumn.

Umá runs the eXpress program and Team Scandi has recently moved into Creative Corporation.
