HOLLYWOOD actress Thandie Newton had a fairly easy mission yesterday when she visited Bicester Village to support rising fashion designers.
The Mission Impossible star opened a new pop-up shop at the outlet centre.
The store, called the British Designers’ Collective, will host a range of clothing, shoes and accessories designed by some of the hottest names in British fashion.
Designers include multi-award-winning Jonathan Saunders, Felicity Brown, Holly Fulton and Markus Lupfer.
The shop, run by the British Fashion Council, will be open until mid-May.
Ms Newton said: “I am delighted to be working with Bicester Village supporting young British designers.
“The British Designers’ Collective is such an innovative way of giving new talent such an important window.”
Bafta-winning Ms Newton’s other movies include The Pursuit of Happyness, Run Fatboy Run and Oscar-winner Crash. She also appeared in the hit US TV medical drama ER.
