Flashbulb: From an Armand de Brignac launch party to a Zimmerman pool party...

Armand de Brignac Magnum Launch

Restaurant Casa Cruz

Alice Temperley, Phoebe Hitchcox and Nick Hendrix were amongst stars sipping the new Blanc de Blancs en Magnum at Champagne Armand de Brignac’s launch party, in the swanky Restaurant Casa Cruz. 60 VIPs helped get through 10 of the limited 1,000 bottles of fizz made globally – save some for the rest of us, right?

Pool party

Mayfair

Back à Londres and summer was firmly in the air at Nicky Zimmermann’s cocktail party, where Emma Weymouth and Candice Lake sipped pear juice amid the bikinis, and Zimmermann was just grateful to be there, having barely made it onto a Eurostar that was jampacked with PFW luggage.

Females Forward

London’s Hospital Club

Mark Francis Vandelli joined the line-up of female celebrities at Bardou's annual dinner celebrating International Women’s Day. Melanie Sykes, Sabrina Percy and Louise Thompson were amongst the attendants who enjoyed a night of fine art, wining and dining.

La fête à la maison

Paris

Ain’t no party like a Givenchy house party, especially one at Paris’s magnificent Hotel de Poulpry to celebrate Clare Waight Keller’s debut collection. Noomi Rapace and Virgil Abloh played arcade games, while Karen Elson strummed guitar and a fortune teller predicted all kinds of fun for the rest of PFW.

Brits abroad

Paris

Championing British talent abroad, the BFC rewarded plucky young UK designers with a Hendrick’s-fuelled party at The Hoxton Paris to celebrate 10 years of London Show Rooms, where Roksanda Ilincic clinked glasses with Erdem and Jefferson Hack toe tapped to Jodie Harsh’s DJ set.

Espie Roche Launch Breakfast​

The Chess Club

Spring has sprung in Mayfair at the launch of this Italian leather goods brand. Candice Lake, Olivia Buckingham and Laura Fantacci were amongst fashion gurus who started their day the right way.

SALONI LODHA WEEKEND

Udapur, India

A colourful weekend like no other, as designer Saloni Lodha made custom apparel and partied for three days straight with Dree Hemmingway, Caroline Issa, Peter Dundas and many other names in fashion. Saloni even had time to collaborate with her favourite brands and artists – Amrapali Jewels and Charlotte Olympia.
