We recently designed a dinner that allowed us incredible creativity. The Louis Vuitton Paris team held a fabulous dinner in central London. We decided to have a full length paper tablecloth illustrated by our friend the illustrator Jo Ratcliffe. We Love the idea of being in beautifully designed luxurious surroundings and having the contrast of a hand painted craft paper table cloth. A long stretch of art to eat from and enjoy, there wasn’t a scrap of tablecloth left at the end of dinner. So great to see guests tearing their place setting up, proof for us that it’s worked it’s magic.
Jo busy painting her girls. She’s that double threat of hugely talented and hugely hot. Love her work.
Applying lipstick, using a knife as a mirror. There’s a trick.
One of my favourite “Tablecloth Girls” with cocktail sticks for heels (complete with Olives), Martini Heels?
The table was adorned with a stretch of Slipper orchids & Succulents accompanied by magnifying glasses and mirrors.
A delicious tasting menu of six courses by Nuno Mendes for Viajante. Each course matched with accompanying wine. Words can’t explain how divine this food was. Jo illustrated the menu and we used suede ribbon and magnifying glasses as napkin rings (Perfect for reading the small print)
We had the Experimental Cocktail Club come set up bar and make some of their signature cocktails. Can’t really get enough of their Opium Express.
Table cloth to go?
