Absolut Rainbow "Love Is Love" Launch Party

Another Pride Weekend rolled by and London was in full celebration mode from Friday till....well, some are still going if you ask me.
As usual, Soho was crammed with people, mostly topless or rainbowed, streets were all pedestrianised and many were so busy, you needed hours to cross from one end to the other.
All bars and clubs had themed Pride events and many of the big brands joined the frenzy by sponsoring this or that, from Starbucks to Barclays, it seems everyone wanted to cash-in on the trend. Well, with gay marriage just hot off the yes vote in Ireland and the US supreme court, the trend is stronger than ever. One brand that has been a long-time supporter of the Gay Agenda is Absolut, so naturally, we were most interested in the Launch Party they threw at the exclusive Soho venue - The Groucho Club. Started as a somewhat private affair, the club was filling up fast and by 6pm literally the who's who of the scene were all present.
With the help of DJs Mark-Ashley Dupé, Maze&Masters and Fat Tony, performances by Mz Kimberly and the ever-so refreshing presence of London's exuberant Club Kids (this time represented by the current leaders of the pack - House Bound) the party quickly turned into the hottest event of the weekend. Anyone from D-listers to A-listers and in between were letting their hair down and sipping those sweet Absolut cocktails. I wonder how my head didn't punish me the following day. All in all, the night was a pure indulgence and Absolut proved once again that they know how to throw an awesome event. The fun was supposed to end by 11pm but of course that got extended till 2am... naturally.
Let's see who looked cool....

Kylie launches her new book with a glitzy party

On Wednesday 28.Nov was the launch of Kylie's new book at the fabulous Penthouse at Harrods and it was very much a private affair. Only a handful of Harrods invertors, some of the publisher's trustees and a few friends and industry professionals formed the guestlist of this exclusive event taking place after closing hours.

Looking dazzling in a bright-yellow Stella McCartney tassels-rich dress and those signature salmon-pink Loboutins,  Kylie graced the dancefloor and made an effort to speak to all guests like a true host. There were lots of giggles, hugs and photos going on in the room, I had a high-five moment with the princess for my support of Movember and some warm words of admiration were exchanged with designer Gareth Pugh 

who is responsible for this amazing look taken from the new book.
Close friend Jeff Leatham did a fantastic job with the flower arrangement which was in abundance of 7000 red and pink roses and orchids flown in all the way from Holland and there were artisan canopies that we washed down with strawberry daiquiris all carefully selected by Kylie herself. What can I say, whatever she touches exudes sophistication and class.

The book is available at all good stores including amazon and has everything you ever need from a career that has spanned 25 years already. Some of her most alternative looks are amongst my favourite, go check it out peeps.

Published by Thames and Hudson and titled "Kylie Fashion" and retails between £20 and £28 in the UK.
