FACE OFF
Friday night saw us hop from party to party: Jade Jagger’s (along with dad Mick) at new Knightsbridge hotspot Sette; Moncler; Gabriela Hearst and, finally, The Face x Christian Louboutin in a Soho speakeasy, which was very much more Loubs than boobs.
As you might expect, it was awash with cool new-gen names like Rafferty Law and Hana Cross. Tony and God were the oldest people there, to be honest. We were surprised any of the kids knew who Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King was, but when she came on to perform ‘Love Come Down’, so did the house.
LOVE BURST
To the roof at The Standard hotel in King’s Cross for Katie Grand’s Love x YouTube party.
What can we tell you? Well, models do eat: Kendall Jenner and cp ordered champagne and chips all night. Mary McCartney photographed Iris Law in the lifts and the younger kids took snaps of themselves next to the club’s 6ft penis, which came from a flea market in Italy, we’re told.
SECRET AGENTS
Another stop at LFW — the biannual parade of new frocks and old faces — was the Agent Provocateur party at Annabel’s.
‘It feels old school’, creative director Sarah Shotton told us, ‘like the parties we used to have in the AP shop 20 years ago!’ Sink the Pink stomped around like salacious show ponies on a sugar high, while celebs including Clara Paget tried to wrestle their mates in through the crush on the door. On witnessing the 500-strong queue outside, Shotton said: ‘It just means we need to have more parties…’ atta girl.
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL
The education system isn’t what it was.
At the opening of Tim Walker’s Wonderful Things exhibition at the V&A, millennials were heard asking what the things were, until they got to the Battle of Hastings and 1066 rang a bell. Pam Hogg couldn’t believe how prominent her clothes were in the exhibition, while we tried to get close enough to Drag Race star Miss Fame (she was in a big gown) to ask about her being fashion’s newest muse: ‘I’m still like, “Oh my God”, when people like Naomi and Kate walk into the room,’ she told us, before explaining her plans to help the world, one lipstick at a time — or something like that.
