Last night I made the trek into town after work for two parties, the first of which was to celebrate the launch of Roxy Heart's (aka Quiksilver) latest collaboration with the Henry's House of Holland (they have also worked with other designers like Cynthia Rowley) at Beyond The Valley, just off Carnaby Street. The HOH collection supposedly focused on skiwear, although what I saw mainly consisted of cardis, dresses, tops, and a puffy jacket that doesn't look like it would be suitable for sub-zero temperatures. There was also a pretty hideous logo dress (I saved the photo for the end of this post...), although Henry's pop-art heart designs did work on some pieces. You can probably guess from my tone that I wasn't particularly bowled over by what I saw.
The party was fun though, involving mulled wine (there were rumours there was going to be fondue, although none was spotted) and DJing from the ever-fabulous Jodie Harsh. The contrast between the bitter cold outside - it's officially winter, folks! - and the searing heat inside led to some pretty sweaty fashionista faces. Good thing Alex from Alex Loves shielded hers from my photographic lens with a large black hat! Anna and I decided to leave early to move on to a classier affair where the heating wasn't turned up quite so high.
Oh, and as far as I could see, Henry was a no-show.
