SS12 press Drinks at Felicities

The London Fashion Intelligence team were lucky to be invited down to the Press Drinks Reception at Felicities in their stunning new showroom.

We arrived to find a packed venue which wasn't surprising when we saw how many stunning labels the agency represented. Are you ready for this - as they say "Felicities represents some of the hottest emerging designers in London" and they are right. The showroom had the SS12 collections on display from Ada Zanditon, Alexandra de Curtis, Alice Palmer, BasharatyanV, Beautiful Soul, CC Kuo, Danny Tang, Eki Orleans, Evmorfia, Francesca Marotta, Funalyo Deri, Heidi Mottram, Imogen Belfield, Jade Kang, Jenny Schwarz, Lako Bukia, Little Mistress, Mark Thomas Taylor, Orschel Read, Phannatiq, Rainbow Winters, Ryder and Rowe, Tramp in Disguise and XO fashion Studio - phew!!! I hope I didnt miss anyone!!

The labels all had the most stunning colour palettes for SS12 and the showroom was vibrant with colour and print. Felicities have a knack of discovering some wonderful brands and the strength of the design skills means all these labels should be a huge success in the future

We spent a delightfull couple of hours browsing the rails, chatting to the designers and drinking strawberry vodka.

The venue was a little too packed for us to take lots of pictures but the lovely felicities team gave us permission to use these images taken by Jay McClaughlin - who we spotted snapping away during the evening.

SuperDoll Collectables press launch

The lovely Forward PR invited us to a Press Event that really intrigued us called Social Monstrosities and we were very excited to attend to view a collection of fashion dolls that are the new collectable.

We were already in the East End so missed the opportunity to travel to the venue in the Route Master bus but luckily got there earlier so could get right up close to the most amazing collectable dolls we have ever seen.

The Sybarites are 17" tall, all resin, ball jointed fashion dolls bearing 19 points of articulation. They are inspired by modern day controversy that is human cloning and are all clones of the same genetics. We are not sure what this press statement really meant - but what we saw were the most divine dolls displayed on a raised table as though they were seated around a dining table. There faces were compelling and beautiful and they were dressed in the most exquisite couture clothing.

The creators of the collection are Desmond Lingard and Charles H Fegen.
