Welcome to our Winter Wrap Up, where we celebrate Margaret’s standout autumn / winter happenings and share those cultural moments and recommendations we’re turning to as the temperatures drop. Winter inevitably slows the city’s pace, inviting us to seek out comfort, connection and the occasional spark in the darker months. Our Winter Wrap Up pulls together the moments that make hibernation feel intentional – from intimate screenings to standout exhibitions, winter music sessions, and the kind of food that feels made for cold weather. Wrap up – your winter starts here! |

Levi’s® first-ever ‘In Session Live’ landed at London’s UNDR in November, a major celebration of Black artistry, curated and produced by Margaret with Creative Director Russian Angell.
