Vogue Fashion Night Out: London

Last night London for the third year running hosted Vogues Fashion Night Out #FNO, fashion houses to beauty stores open their doors for one night off champagne, cocktails, music and goodies.


As the sun set over London anyone who was anyone threw on their best heals and headed to their favourite fashion boutiques.


Kurt Geiger celebrated the launch of  'Everything but the dress' with champagne,a photo booth with accessories from the new collection to style yourself with and 100 limited edition bracelets.
I was luckily enough to receive one my self. 







Links of London centered their evening around their lasted marketing story ' The Chemistry of Friendship' with drinks served in test tubes, a periodic table cake and biscuit bracelets for their guests. 




Mulberry pulled out all the stops and threw a fantastic party in the New Bond street store. 

Alice Gold was on the decks while waiters dressed in traditional red hunting wear treated the ladies to Mojitos and the gents to a cold beer. Hungary guests were served nibbles of mini flat bread pizzas and traditional English pies while they browsed the latest pieces from the autumn collection. 



Face painting, Manicures and fortune telling broke up the shopping. 

I joined the small que for the face painting and patiently waited my turn. I sat on the chair and requested a small Mulberry tree on just to the side of my eye. I'd watched the couple of people in front of me pick standard face designs from a book and it really didn't take my fancy to have a butterfly or something that had 1000 other people have chosen before. 

Whispers broke out and the Mulberry tree was the talk of all those around.




On leaving the store you were treated to a selection of country animal masks to play dress up with and a pop-up nut stall. 



 Louis Vuitton welcomed you with French maids with balloon dogs on Louis Vuitton leads and served with Mojito's.




Daks had live models in the windows. 


Sandro, South Molton Street treated guests to a photo booth complete with wind machine. 



A huge thank you is to Vogue for the organisation of the event and to all the fashion house for  making it such an fantastic evening and treating us so well. 

A particular thank you to the gentlemen in Mulberry who tendered to our every needs from drinks and goodies to checking the stock and location of products. 

Thank you Louise
