At Paradise in Kensal Green on Thursday, Alice Temperley celebrated the one year anniversary of the launch of her second line Alice by Temperley, with a truly decadent and quintessentially English affair.
The dress code (English Eccentrics) brought out the whimsical in Alice's guests. Style Cramp, along with YAY OR NAY, was in mighty fine company, with Daisy Lowe and Ellie Goulding on decks and some of fashion's most elite in attendance. Top hats, coat tails, LOTS of fur, this was The Beautiful and the Damned. Though us two bloggers felt more Damned amongst these Beautifuls.
On arrival, we headed straight to the bar for Chambord cocktails and canapés. Setting ourselves near Alice's table, we took in the room and started to put names to faces. I sat down next to a beautiful lithe blonde, only to inwardly exclaim "christ, it's only Laura Bailey." INTIMIDATING.
Sure beats any fancy dress parties we've been to lately. The last of which I was dressed as Josef Fritzl *oh the shame*.
