A journey to Londinium ... invitation only ...Thanks to daughter [wearing muted lime green chiffon, purple Lulu lips bag ~ and not in distress], my friend for accompanying me and Lulu as in Guinness, renowned British Fashion Designer of mainly the things we girls [and ladies] all like ~ handbags of course, I attended the launch of Lulu's [yes, we're on first name terms already ~ okay, so Lulu may have forgotten mine] beautifully designed 'Fan Bag' ... no funny comments please ... this is Serious Style.
The launch for the new Rob Ryan [papercut and screenprint artist] for Lulu Guinness fan clutch bag [centre photo] was held at the Air Gallery, London. OOoeee ... Amongst the handsome tanned young men in tight white, topping up the tall champagne flutes ... ooeee ... I noticed Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton, Paloma Faith, Erin O'Connor, Lulu and Little Boots ... not bad for someone who doesn't even watch Corrie [Ouch].
Lulu's fan clutches, as the lips clutches and many of her unusual designs, have become iconic and the re-launch of the fan style has caused a buzz in the fashion world, so I hear.
The Rob Ryan for Lulu Guinness fan clutch currently being auctioned on eBay for 'African Solutions to African Problems' ASAP is a one-off piece. The bag is signed by Lulu and Rob ... Yep, only one of these in the world, so get bidding ... BTW, I noticed the bidding is already up to £830.
Style, great music, champagne, a splattering of celebs and a few photographers to make everyone feel important [including me, although no-one seemed to want a piccy] ... Not a hot-pot in sight. A simply a wonderful evening ... ahhh ...
More photos to follow ... does anyone know where I put the camera connection ?
