Bistrotheque turns 5!!!

by Richard Mortimer / parties - Feature

Its hard to believe that Bistrotheque is a mere 5 years old. Owners Pablo Flack and David Wadington celebrated the birthday in style, personally inviting friends and supporters from the last 5 years. These 'friends' included Katie Grand, Gareth Pugh, Mandi Lennard, Tim Blanks, Roksanda Illincic... The list is endless. Needless to say, it got rather messy, and quite rightly so... It felt like a family knees up, and thats always a good thing!

Popbitch.

by Richard Mortimer / fashion - Feature

Camilla Wright may not be a name that is instantly recognizable to the general public. As her alter-ego, however, she is the saviour of the office world; bringing a ray of light to the darkest of office computer screens. Always controversial, never safe, Camilla Wright is the elusive 'Popbitch'. In true Popbitch style, we caught up with Miss Wright for a snappy Q+A, in which she proved that after almost 10 years at the top, this Popbitch is as feisty as ever!

Adidas strike gold with SLVR.

by Richard Mortimer / fashion - Feature

Basics, as every fashion conscious reader should well know, form the backbone of many a wardrobe.

SLVR, the new lifestyle range from Adidas, is pushing forward the concept of ‘basics’ – introducing unique design and craftsmanship to our everyday favorites.

Matt Irwin: Punk. Perfect. Awful.

by Richard Mortimer / fashion - Feature

Matt Irwin’s career has been on an upward trajectory for some years now. With work published in the world’s premier fashion publications, the Dazed darling decided he was ready for another solo show. Some call it pure self-indulgence, others, artistic expression. I don’t really care – I just want to know what Mr. Irwin thinks... He is, after all, not afraid to speak his mind!

Ponystep NYE Party.

by Richard Mortimer / parties - Feature

It was with both excitement and sadness that Ponystep opened its doors for the final time at Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen this NYE.

Somebody Else's Party.

by Richard Mortimer / parties - Feature

To mark the end of the hit Nokia campaign, 'Somebody Else's Party', the mobile phone moguls teamed up with Colette - undoubtedly the coolest store in Paris.

Of course, the biggest coup of the night was a rousing performance from The Gossip - jetting in especially for the event.

'LOVE' - Tea and Treasure Hunt.

by Richard Mortimer / parties - Feature

If last Wednesday was anything to go by, Conde Nast must be feeling very pleased with themselves. As the fashion loving public await the launch of Katie Grand's new LOVE magazine, the buzz from fashion industry insiders was deafening at their Christmas 'Tea and Treasure Hunt' held at FLASH.

RM by RM.

by Richard Mortimer / fashion - Feature

Roland Mouret is a dark horse. To some, he is the man who made 'that' dress. To those that know him, he is a charming, intelligent, mystery of a man. There is much more to Roland Mouret than meets the eye. More than 'just dresses'...

12/1/2008 12:55:30 PM

Ponystep w/ Marios Schwab (well, nearly!).

by Richard Mortimer / parties - Feature

November rain. Not pretty. Still, London's party scene will not be deterred by wind and rain. No. The brightest stars of East London flocked to see Marios Schwab take to the decks. And he almost did. 'Technical difficulties' however, deprived us of what promised to be an amazing set. Still, the night was unaffected by the minor setback, and Marios' presence was obvious with the likes of Gwendoline poured into his body con dresses. Until next time... NYE Tickets on sale very soon...

Mulberry ♥'s FRED.

by Richard Mortimer / art - Feature

It’s a well-known fact - the art world long to be as cool as the fashion world and the fashion world long to be taken as seriously as the art world. Mulberry understand this, and have been comfortably straddling both arenas for sometime now. Their latest collaboration with East London collective FRED sees the concept really gain momentum. The ante has been upped. This is not your average partnership; ‘FRED for Mulberry’ is more than ‘just bags’.

Ponystep w/ James Long and Louise Gray.

by Richard Mortimer / parties - Feature

As always, our monthly party was a messy affair. After hot-footing it back from hosting Gareth Pugh's after party in Paris the night before, we were unsure of what to expect... And it certainly was an unexpected turnout: Hedi Slimane, Carsten Holler and Nicola Formichetti were among the guests, dancing to the, erm, 'musical delights' of Louise Gray and James Long!!! Fun indeed!

The Rise and Rise of Henry Holland.

by Richard Mortimer / fashion - Feature

Amazingly, just 3 years ago Henry Holland was virtually unknown. Working his day job at teen magazine, Bliss, Holland found himself styling the likes of Atomic Kitten and Rachel Stevens on shoestring budgets. Even Topshop were reluctant to lend to him. Not that he is in the least bit dismissive of his former career, looking back on those days with fondness. It was, after all, his first real insight into a world he felt destined to belong, and belong he does - only now, its on his terms.

5/27/2008 6:54:30 AM

Very nice indeed!

by Richard Mortimer / fashion - Feature

In February this year, James Long was the toast of London having just shown his incredible debut collection as part of the MAN group show. Then, just 3 days after his show, disaster struck.

The P.I.X

by Richard Mortimer / music - Feature

As music magazines go, it is fair to say that for many years there has been little alternative to the NME. It has dominated its genre for years - quite understandably. It has introduced us to great bands and artists over the years, and been a consistently reliable source of general music news.
