Proudly presenting Cabaret Camden...

Last Thursday I enjoyed drinks, dinner and burlesque beauties in a low lit, stylish setting at Proud Camden's new Cabaret club.  Yes Cabaret in Camden, a novel idea but one that I think has the potential to do very well. The south gallery, formerly Proud Kitchen, has been transformed into a ruby red den with chinoiserie silk ceilings and lamps, gilt birdcages, black leather banquette booths, corset clad waitresses and live music and glamourous entertainment to accompany your supper...

...A four part show complete with atmosphere inducing live singer as we arrived and during each interval,  compere {comedienne and cabaret extraodinaire} Vicious Delicious who was all the more hilarious when she dropped her faux french accent and applied her acerbic wit on unexpected members of the audience and five different showgirls with multiple routines/costume changes! Cocktails and canapes on arrival and a main course of Butternut Squash and Feta Risotto with Watercress and Parmesan Crisps which was delicious and a dessert of Chocolate Fondant - what's not to love?  Served by ostrich feather festooned waitresses who tottered around in stockings, suspenders and high heels navigating the packed space like pros as well as avoiding additional high heel risks of glitter, feathers, petals and champagne as the performances played out.  With international burlesque acts Betsy Rose, Annette Bette Kellow, Coco Deville, and my personal fave Banbury Cross {you know I have a soft spot for all things Marilyn - she moonlights as an impersonator} taking the stage. As the show went on the performances got a little darker with latex lover Marnie Scarlet ending the evening with an altogether more surreal, fetish take on Cabaret - go see for yourself! http://www.proudcamden.com/kitchen

Sh*t Fashion Girls Say at New York Fashion Week...

The Platform's Patrick Pope or should I say P'Trique is back for another hilarious fashion parody and it is #Totes Amaze!  

Personal favourite one liners include - 

'I don't do standing'

'If this outfit doesn't get me on a street style blog I give up!'

'She said she was wearing Jason Wu... it was Jason Wu for Target'

'If you're not in the first two rows you do not matter'

'These are cab to curb heels only'

'My intern was seated better than me'

'Ergh, cobble stones'

'I'm not riding the bus'

Moschino Cheap & Chic LFW Debut - 'Make up Your Life!'...

...yesterday I was lucky enough to attend Moschino Cheap & Chic's first ever show at LFW and put on a show they did.  Housed at a beautiful building on Portland Place, on arrival I was greeted by the gorgeous Miss S, a glass on champagne was placed in my hand and I made my way into a room that had been decorated with an array of beautiful blooms, neon lips and several movie star make-up mirror areas where models were getting preened for the show. Seated in director's chairs that bared the collection's fun-pun slogan 'Make up your Life' on the back or 'Smile, Talk, Kiss, Drink, Laugh, Eat' this was a lovely touch giving the attendees a feeling of being backstage.  The cornicing and chandeliers on the ground floor were sensational too...

...As we made our way into the black and white chequerboard tiled hallway a rainbow neon installation echoed the 'Smile, Laugh, Talk, Drink, Shout, Eat, Kiss' of the chairs - very cool.  And up the sweeping staircase to the 1st floor and the intimate catwalk complete with macaroon shade seating and more exquisite chandeliers and don't get me started about the baby blue walls with white baroque detailing.  I want to live in a house like this {one can but dream}.  The show soundtrack was provided by a live acoustic performance from Lianne La Havas of 'Forget'.  Dressed in pieces from the collection we were about to see - what a lovely surprise!  Alexa Chung was FROW wearing a beaut pair of J W Anderson paisley print pants, as well as a host of super stylists, editors and bloggers...

...and onto the show, a playful winter pastel palette reigned with a particular leaning towards nude shades, makeup references as print protagonist, patchwork panel lace, a textural fabric mix of rainbow furs, crochet, maxi sequin pailettes and fun liquorice allsort-esque make up prints.  Glitter pouts / smiles and bouffant beehives completed the modern fifties feeling models beauty look.  For me this is a brand that is so suited to showing in London, with it's kooky, quirky cool - let's hope they are here to stay...

...Moschino Cheap & Chic finale - Make up your face! Make up your life too!

Current Model Crush - Karlie Kloss and her incredible body...

Shot and directed by ShowStudio supremo Nick Knight and starring Karlie Kloss and her kick ass figure showcasing ten years worth of Topshop Newgen hook ups.  The video plays out to a cut up version of Roxy Music's 'Love is the Drug' and features archive designs by David Koma, Richard Nicoll, Meadham Kirchhoff, Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou and Ashish - who else can you spot?... 

...and whilst we are on the subject of Miss Kloss, here she is striking a pose in Prada S/S 2012 on the cover of the March edition of Vogue Australia shot by Kai Z Feng and styled by fashion editor Naomi Smith, the shoot inside is equally appealing...

Trend Twins - Snake Bite...

Serpent styling seems to be the accessory of choice for Spring 2012 with Lanvin and Oyster magazine casting snakes as well as models in their shoots.  Several snakes 'charm' the Lanvin ladies {and guys} in the Steven Meisel shot Spring 2012 ad campaign and Daisy Lowe smolders on the cover and inside Oyster 96 photographed by Will Davidson.

Foot Fetish Friday - Selfridges Sale Sandals...

I love a bargain and so I was pretty pleased when I spied these Dries Van Noten S/S 2011 beauties in the Selfridges January sale.  I debuted them on thursday night when I went to Purl {again - it's becoming my new favourite place for cocktails} in Marylebone.  Not the most sensible of footwear choices when London has seen temperatures plummeting to minus degrees but hey don't they look pretty and they tap into the holographic trend seen on the S/S 2012 catwalks too.
