Rorisang Lu- The Essence of Viva

Throwing a Fit Pop-Up – Event Summary

Throwing a Fit was a one-day fashion pop-up hosted by Rorisang Lu and Sassima on 1 August 2026 at Magnolia Foundry in Gaborone, Botswana. More than a retail event, it was designed as an immersive brand experience that introduced visitors to the worlds of both fashion houses through storytelling, craftsmanship, and personal interaction.

The pop-up featured a curated selection of garments, including sample pieces, archive designs, and ready-to-wear collections, allowing guests to explore the brands up close. Visitors were encouraged to engage with the creative process through displays highlighting garment construction, fabrics, design inspiration, and the journey from concept to finished piece.

The event focused on creating a luxury yet welcoming atmosphere where guests could experience fashion through all five senses. Music, visual merchandising, tactile fabric displays, fragrance, and refreshments helped transform the space into an environment that reflected the identity of the brands rather than simply functioning as a shop.

Community and connection were central to the experience. Guests had the opportunity to meet the designer, learn about the stories behind the collections, network with other creatives and fashion enthusiasts, and participate in interactive moments throughout the day. The event also celebrated personal style through its "Best You've Ever Looked" dress theme, encouraging attendees to express themselves confidently.
