Roving Reporter . . . Partying with Puma

PUMA PARTY:

Then on to the evening! Tonight was Puma's press party for their 'Past / Present / Future' collection. Re-inventing the retro styles of trainers and classic brand pieces for a new generation. The party was held in their concept store on Carnaby Street and when I arrived the party was in full swing! There was fab tracks being rocked by the DJ and the main swarm of people was concentrated around the Mixologist bar at the back. Having queued for many moons for my drink I was pleased it was pretty damn potent and the tequila shot balancing in the half lime on the top definitely added to the strength perfectly!

The CROWD: Uber cool fashionista's here. Though there were some Topshop stylee chicks around, overall there was a really awesome, eighties, retro, sports vibe. This was shown in body con styles, squared off baseball caps and chunky gold hoops. It's odd, really there was a lot chavtastic stylings going on, but somehow this crowd carried it off and the hoodies and trainer brigade became less 'Clapham' and more 'Couture'.

The mixologists on the Puma inspired red bar mixed up some potent tipples, 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila . . . floor.

The goodie bag was pretty sweet, I left with yet another canvas print bag to add to my obscene collection, containing a free pass for Movida (remember how I feel about that place, words fake bake and cake spring to mind), a poster of the latest Puma shoes (loving them!), a 35% discount card for the whole year and last but not least, a free pair of sunglasses! Yipee! Best goodie bag in ages!

Who knew PUMA did such lovely jeans?!

Lovely shoes . . . I want!

(love the school girl style, may use my lovely discount on them!)

Roving Reporter . . . Party Time Again!

Having spent all morning watching the shows, scouting for up and coming talent, we went back to Bleu Flats, to rifle through her draws. This was not an episode of 'What to Wear', but more a case of, 'What Not To Wear'. . . and as a trained personal stylist, I was only to happy to rugby tackle Bleu Flats to the floor to relinquish some hideous, fashion faux pas from her paws! 

We headed over to town to hit up the latest fashion party, this time taking us to a little known store on D'Arbly street, that belongs to our favourite, Italian, fashionista, Nico D. Nico D (who's Fash-Pack interview will go live shortly), designs both menswear and women's wear, tonight hosted a little shindig to display his collections. As usual, we came, we saw, we pouted, we conquered! Oh and naturally had a chat and drink too. 

Nico's summer collection, housed some brilliant dresses, really A-Lister glam!

Obviously one fashion party is never enough, so we popped into the Lazy Oaf, drawing party in Kingly Court. All I can say is, FUN FUN FUN! With professional illustrators making master pieces on the walls, with little more than felt tip pens, the mere mortals were left to make little A5 pics, that were then stuck up on the wall. We blatantly scammed the chance to spread the fash-pack name and scribbled our name up everywhere.

Well that's it for now, plenty of pics over the weekend, plus some of the best band interviews EVER done!
