Breakfast of pastries, bacon sandwiches and smoked salmon were served on arrival - by the most up-beat waiting staff I’ve ever had contact with.
P.S. Note the indeliberate mistake (wrong date) on the e-vite.

London Fashion Week starts today…
When you see coverage and notice a little sparkle here and there, and perhaps you ask yourself: “how did that designer achieved such glistening finishes to that particular garment?” The answer will probably be ‘Swarovski.’
Each season Swarovski crystals are involved with the London shows in a big way.
This week they are continuing their collaborations with Marios Schwab, Mark Fast, Mary Katrantzou, Holly Fulton, Matthew Williamson, Louise Goldin, Antonio Berardi and Erdem; and working for the first time with Michael van der Ham, Osman Yousefzada and Peter Pilotto.
Quite excitingly all shows will be broadcast live on: WWW.SWAROVSKI.TV.
Henry Holland joins the lineup of designers including: Julien Macdonald, John Rocha and Matthew Williamson to create a line for Debenhams. Designer at Debenhams. H! by Henry Holland will be available for S/S10 and being more affordable than his mainline ‘House of Holland’ collections is aimed at his teenage fan-base.
Linda Farrow has announced four new collaborations, launched in January 2010 - perfectly timed for winter. Damir Doma, Tim Hamilton, Gaspard Yurkievichard and Tim Soar have all created one striking style for the legendary sunglass company. Previous collaborations include: Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons, Dries Van Noten, Matthew Williamson and Jeremy Scott.
It was all about east London on Sunday night: Bistrotheque continued their fifth birthday celebrations with a Beer Party (i.e. free beer), and the rooftop at Shoreditch House hosted ‘POOLDISCO SOLIDGOLD.’ The upstairs of Soho House’s Shoreditch contingency was rammed with scary people; fashion royalty (Markus Lupfer, Matthew Williamson, Jonathan Kelsey); porn stars - the girl dancing in a bikini and six inch Gucci sandals; and skinny dippers, which we could really have done without - although they were good to laugh at. The music by Kris Di Angelis and his Solidgold band, was dancable. And we went back to Markus’s house for Champagne and vodka once the lights came on. Fun.
