Back with a bang to our favorite emporium, Harvey Nichols for the launch of the new Marc Jacobs fragrance for men the aptly named Bang. Inspired by the Juergen Teller advertising campaign for Bang and with mylar on our minds we decided to cover the walls with just that. Great DJ sets from Jesus Luz, Jake Shears and Seb Chew. Delicious Bang cocktails from the Fifth Floor bar. At this one we all had a lot of fun…
We transformed the Fifth Floor Restaurant wall with miles and miles of mylar.
Artfully pleating, folding and taping. It takes a lot of effort to make it look this effortless. Honestly.
We made a Dj booth out of all the Bang mini trays that are used for merchandising.
Love how this looked…
Love how it looked even more when Jesus Luz popped behind it. He played a brilliant set.
Cue much energetic dancing and arms in the air…finishing to Madonna’s “Celebrate”. Sweet…
Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters played after Jesus
Bang cocktails with Bang ice cubes. Double bang!

Parties, Parties, Parties. Hands up I admit it, working as I do in events and having attended my fair share of parties when I’m not working……I can and have been a little Party jaded of late.
My faith was restored last night at the Louis Vuitton Bond street store opening party. High Octane on every level. From Donna Summer singing “I feel love” with Marc Jacobs as her very own backing singer (yes he was) to the mesmerizing Punch Drunk experiences in a myriad of hidden rooms. This party was refreshing in that amongst the Luxury goods Event staples of beautiful aesthetics and beautiful people It was a truly unforgettable experience. There was so much thought and Imagination put into the tiniest details it all felt very personal and intimate . We laughed and giggled our way around the rooms in the way one does at a relaxed dinner party. Very much like a journey, we went from walking through a Pine forest (admiring the smell of freshly trodden pine needles underfoot) and ending up in a yurt reading my very own tightly rolled message in a bottle. Ah. The message in a bottle, now that did please me enormously. It’s the little things amongst all the big things that make all the difference.
More messages in bottles please. More parties like this please. We need them in our Universe.
Incredible flowers in individual copper tubes by Absolute Flowers. Adore
Love the filament bulbs suspended from the ceiling and hanging amongst the flowers
One of the experience rooms. Everything was studded. EVERYTHING. Oh my! The giraffe from the window needs to hang out here with his studded hooves
Studded table and books. Stud my world. Please do.

A charming speakeasy that was found hidden away in a room amongst trunks and boxes. The Barman fixed me a “surprise” drink and it was a surprise. It contained my favourite Hix Morello cherries. How could he have known?
Another lovely moment
A room that was a four sided cabinet of curiosities
Curiouser and curiouser
The forest and the yurt. There was a rickshaw too but alas my camera battery died…
