G Star Raw launched their SS15 collection with a Mixology Cocktail Event

G Star Raw launched their SS15 collection at the quirky 98 Bar in Shoreditch.

As a treat to all who attended we were invited to join a Mixology Cocktail Master Class to learn how to make a mojito and cosmopolitan.

After the class we were encouraged to create a G-Star Footwear inspired cocktail. Here I am checking out all the cocktail entries:

 Here's Leroy Dawkins, Diary of a Clotheshorse creating his cocktail.

The winner was Prince Cassius, seen here with a caricature drawing of himself

Also on display were a few of G Star Raw AW14 pieces.

At the EMELI SANDÉ CHARITY GALA

Last week, I attended the Emeli Sandé Charity Gala held at the award winning Chuk89 venue in Mitcham Surrey. The charity called Serenge Project is close to the multi platinum singer's heart and
 is named after the birthplace of Emeli's father in Zambia. In accordance with Oxfam the charity supports the local community with education and medical help.

Before the gala began, it was time for some fun posing with celebrity stylist and Greece's Next Top Model judge, Leroy Dawkins.

Guests included glamorous TOWIE stars Lauren Pope and Sam Faiers ......

Zara Martin took to the decks during the after party, which got everyone dancing into the late hours of the night.

Throughout the evening we enjoyed performances from comedian Doc Brown, soulful singing sensation Mica Paris and an exclusive acoustic set by Emeil Sandé herself.

The meal was a fantastic three course traditional Indian meal. Here I am seated with Jai'me Jan, fashion editor of BoyMeetsFashion

London Fashion Week SS15 - Celebrity Spotting!

London Fashion Week is not just about the clothes (well it is mainly) but also people watching and celebrity spotting!

Conceptual artiste Pandemonia is a fashion regular and designs/makes her own clothes. Today she chose classic chic in monochrome!  Check out Pandemonia on the front row at the Ashley Isham show.

Oliver Proudlock from Made In Chelsea looked dapper in a camouflage print suit. Just caught him before he jumped into a cab for the airport. He had to cut his London Fashion Week short to attend a friend's wedding in Italy - what a life!

An ex cast member of Made In Chelsea, Kimberley Garner also attended LFW. Here she was on her way to the Jamie Wei Huang show at Freemasons Hall.
