Flashbulb! The best parties around town this week

Bossing it, Tower Bridge

What does any fashion brand need? Why, a huge boat, of course. Isaac Carew, Neelam Gill and Sam Rollinson rocked up at Le Pont de la Tour for a DJ set by James Righton, mini crab toasts and the launch of the new Hugo Boss yacht, which was artfully christened by Poppy Delevingne.

Culture vultures, Kensington

Seriously arty types turned up to mark the 28th Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award, honouring the work of collector and philanthropist Valeria Napoleone. Valeria cooked supper for guests at her home, and after her speech, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Eastern standard, Stratford

It was all aboard the high speed train at St Pancras to E20 for the launch of Allegra at The Stratford, east London’s most talked about new restaurant. Ex-Chiltern Firehouse chef Patrick Powell dished up scallop tartare, while Hum Fleming and Henry Holland sipped rum cocktails and admired the view from the Sky Garden.

Sign of the times, Bond Street

Domenico Dolce, one half of the D&G duo, descended upon the Old Bond Street store to sign and present Queens: Alta Moda di Dolce&Gabbana in front of an audience that included a selection of the muses included in the book. Guests sipped on champagne whilst Dolce signed the book, and stood alongside their framed portraits within the store - all of which were shot personally by Dolce.
