'We worked with the designers to ensure they could have the pieces that felt most important to them, which makes the overall store a wonderful mix of archive, never seen, and current season,' said Petersson and Bloyce.
On the ground floor, customers can shop archival and current ready-to-wear pieces from brands including KNWLS, 16Arlington, Conner Ives, Johanna Parv, Saul Nash, Ahluwalia, and Bianca Saunders.
Upstairs, there's a selection of jewelry and footwear from labels such as Ancuta Sarca, while customizable Helen Kirkum sneakers are on offer. There are also panel discussions, workshops, and piercings by Aurum London.
'It's an opportunity to engage all of those incredible customers who go up and down Regent Street, particularly over the weekend,' said Caroline Rush, chief executive officer of the BFC.
The pop-up is part of the City Wide Celebration program, which aims to boost the visibility of fashion experiences across the capital's prime shopping destinations such as Regent Street, Oxford Street, Soho and Covent Garden.
The initiative is supported by 1664 Blanc, the Crown Estate, and partners, patrons and members of the BFC.
Khan, who also attended the Harris Reed show on Thursday night, said he wants to increase government support of the British fashion industry.
'We've got to persuade the new government of how important fashion is to our economy nationally. Fashion contributes 64 billion pounds. Half of that comes from London, but it's also who we are,' he said.

The First Look at Meryl Streep and Simone Ashley's ‘Devil Wears Prada 2' Gala Dresses Is Here
THE RUNDOWN A sequel to The Devil Wears Prada wouldn't be complete without a scene at some version of the Met Gala. Luckily, the movie filmed their take on the iconic fashion event on Friday, August 1, at the Museum of Natural History. Photos from the set show Meryl Streep dressed as her character, Miranda Priestly, wearing her idea of a perfect red carpet ensemble. Naturally, it's stunning. In the new behind-the-scenes images, Streep can be seen posing with Stanley Tucci, playing Nigel, wearing a rich red gown with an asymmetrical neckline, one long sleeve, and a dramatic full skirt. She had her short platinum hair swept back and wore statement earrings with red and white jewels and a red stone ring. Tucci wore a black tux with a polka dot bowtie and a long black and white scarf. Bridgerton's Simone Ashley, who plays a new character in The Devil Wears Prada 2, was also seen on set in a sculptural take on the little black dress. The skin-tight ensemble featured sheer panels across her torso and an elevated neckline of netted fabric decorated with black rhinestones. She accessorized with a small black purse, hair ornaments, and shimmering tights. Ashley's character details have been kept under wraps so far. Aside from Streep and Tucci, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are returning for the sequel, and new cast members reportedly include Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, Kenneth Branagh, Tracie Thomas, B.J. Novak, and Justin Theroux. Hathaway recently spoke about returning to the world of DWP with WWD. The star is also reprising her role in the upcoming The Princess Diaries 3. 'I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films,' she said of her experience as a young actress on set in the original movies. 'I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel.' She added, 'I'm so excited that now I can do that for other people, that now I have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence to take care of other people on sets in which I'm looked at as a leader.'
