DINNER WITH UNIQUENESS

Since my lens seems to have been firmly fixed on the food at Bocca Di Lupo all night, I thought it only fair to mix in some actual event photography from the Uniqueness dinner, luckily somebody is keeping their eye on the prize. The dinner, hosted by Alessandra Facchinetti and Caroline Issa, was super fun and relaxed; a rare chance to meet so many amazing people face to face. I’d never been to Bocca Di Lupo before, but the food was delicious! I can see why everyone loves it, the food was simple and delicate; classic italian cuisine, my favourite being the Crudita di Mare, incredible raw prawn and scallop dish. The reason Alessandra had chosen the restaurant is because it was the one place that tasted just like home. The manifesto of Uniqueness is to have fun and live freely, express yourself with colour, print, desire of the moment. There is no seasonal story, the pieces are affordable and available to buy online immediately after they have been shown at Milan fashion week. Pretty brave and ground braking if you ask me. It’s obvious fashion is shifting and I’m looking forward to following Alessandra wherever Uniqueness takes her.

Thank you to Caroline and Alessandra for being such great hosts, and to TCS for organising everything!

STYLEMAKERS

A couple of weeks ago I attended the London launch of the Jimmy Choo, Choo 24:7 website; it’s an interactive site where you upload your own streetstyle pics, allowing them to be linked and edited by Choo until they are ready for viewers to shop the look.

The beautiful video above is what I really want to talk about. Caroline Issa is the perfect face to represent London for the style makers project, the video with Mr Newton is so chic, I can’t even stand it. I love that she’s wearing all her own clothes, with only the accessories provided. I think a part of me always felt that Jimmy Choo was too feminine for me, they’re weren’t my ultimate go to shoe brand but actually, noticing Caroline wearing them over the last year or so has made me realise that they are totally rock and roll. I fell totally in love with the shoes pictured above, sadly they didn’t make it home with me, but as least I had my little Choo cake to comfort me!
