House of Hackney

Last Wednesday I was very easily persuaded to go out with @helenafleur my number one source of what is good and where to go in London (and beyond).
I made my way over to Dalston for the House of Hackney pop up shop launch. As we walk in to the buzzing (why it was buzzing will be revealed) shop floor we are greeted with walls of fantastically printed wallpaper. We head down the stairs to Lilly Vanilli’s, a the private members cake club!!!! there were mini pink glittery scones and jam, shortbread and apple and champagne doughnuts! The little bar at the end was serving Absolut Vanilla espresso martinis RE: the buzzing....... ( I had 5 and managed to claim 3 hours of sleep that night)

The House of Hackney Designs had a strong link with fashion and this was illustrated in the dresses, the girls were wearing at the event.... they also pulled in the work of Photographer David Duna and stylists Celestine Cooney and Kimi O'Neil on these:

Vivienne's party

So, to kick of London Fashion week with a bang, Dame Vivienne Westwood held a party at the beautiful building that is the Wallace Collection on Manchester square, London. As we promptly arrived at 8 (so as to ensure entry, we had a tip off from an insider that it was over RSVP'd by about 200!!! yikes!) we were front of queue. As we walked past the paparazzi, we swanned up the grand staircase to the sound of a string quartet and greeted with glasses of Perrier Jouet in beautifully branded flutes. We then proceeded to the main bar area to see the collection of the 'Get a Life' Palladium jewellery collection (a range of one-off couture pieces and ready-to-wear designs - crafted from palladium, a rare precious metal.) The pieces were in shapes of natural objects such as oak leaves and my favourite, an acorn. 
Whilst here our first celebrity spotting of Olivia Palermo sauntering towards the bar in a fabulous Temperley jacket. shortly followed by Mr Hudsen, Kele, Plan B, and an entrance from Annie Mac (omg I heart her) and Nick Grimshaw. Then George Craig enters wearing a blue Burberry coat (beautiful beautiful boy).  Fiery Haired Vivienne later turns up:

We party on, nibbling on mini cheese soufflés, scallops and a bizarre combination of venison, chocolate and beetroot canapés. As well as sipping down more Perrier Jouet! we then head down to the courtyard for the Live performance from Jessie J:

Wow wow wow, she was amazing!
