Lingerie Francaise girls stop traffic

To celebrate all things French and lingerie, last week, four girls and their PRs toured London's main shopping areas, often stopping traffic in a bright red cadillac, which was the only thing left to rival the spendy scanties worn by the vintage themed models.

French brands Empreinte, Lise Charmel, Princess Tam Tam and Simone Perele were worn in  a saucy 1950's style.

Crowds thronged and were thrilled by the spectacle in Grosvenor Square, Selfridges, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Fortnum & Mason and Rigby & Peller in Conduit Street.

This clever PR stunt gives a whole new meaning to Flash Mob.

Did you spot the girls?  Let me know in the comment box below.

SKYY Vodka's Glamour Live Bartender of Year party

It's one of life's mysteries why some parties work and some others don't despite some valiant efforts.  There can be the most hip and happening place, free-flowing alcohol, the 'right' guests and lots of dollahs spent on securing celebrity appearances and yet some just end up flat on their backsides.  Whereas others, thankfully, by dint of grace and goodwill just happen upon you and you'll remember them for a l-o-n-g time.  This was the case when SKYY vodka sponsored the Bartender of the Year, a Glamour Live event earlier this week.  

So you may think it sounds iffy, right?  Bartender of Year, at a venue underneath Portobello's Westway on a Monday night with only the regular party scenesters, the 'Made in Chelsea' crew as celebrity attendants?  Me too.  But you would have been wrong, wrongitty wrong.

To start with, the PR and security people were welcoming, delightful and efficient - always a bonus and then my guest and I wandered into the pink bathed light ('No!', I mentally screamed, 'not another Cuckoo Club type venue') of the bar where the obligatory Summer events '11 sickly pink drinks were being served.  To the uninitiated, this Summer's party season, it's all been about the pink drink - cranberry, raspberry, chambord, over-sweet rose wine...you name it - it's been killing the hallowed taste of vodka and champagne wherever we've trod.  But then a magical thing happened - doors where thrown open and the vast white rooms of The Supper Club revealed a huge square bar where the Bacchanalian revelry began.

We were there to celebrate Skyy Vodka's first Interactive Bartending Compettion, hosted by BBC Radio 1 extra’s Sarah Jane Crawford, with a DJ set from Lawrence Friend.    The twist was in how we voted.  Following the success of SKYY Vodka’s Global Flair Challenge (www.skyflair.com), which visited countries across the globe searching for the most talented bartender, GLAMOUR LIVE was SKYY Vodka’s first fully interactive bartending competition experience in which the guests were given the chance to choose who is declared the best UK bartender.

Sixteen of the UK’s slickest bartenders who, in groups of four, were given time to shine within an allocated 25 minute slot (sometimes throwing the cocktails shakers around for entertainment but a swift  crowd yell of 'no! - just serve the drinks' stopped all that) while guests were provided with SKYY tip dollars allowing them to ‘tip’ (read, bribe) their favourite bartender.  The winner of each round  then went through to the final for their chance to win a £1000 cash prize and be crowned SKYY Vodka’s UK Bartender of the Year. 

This was the most fun I've ever had on a Monday night with bells on.  The guests were friendly and unpretentious, the bar tenders excellent, urging us on to tip them - we asked them to bung in extra vodka and, of course, bunged them extra dollars in the glass jars.  The music was just right for getting a party atmosphere going and urging the competitiveness of the bartenders in each round.  By round 4, we may have regretted our 'party spirit' as we'd drank it.   The 'Made in Chelsea' guests mingled and chatted, including the lovely Cheska Hull and Funda Onal while Ollie Locke appeared with a shy but gracious Chloe Green.  Frederik Ferrier happily posed for photographs.

This event rocked! Congratulations to all who organised and took part.  I'll be back.

Please let me know what you think of the SKYY Vodka Glamour Live Bartender of the Year party and/or if you attended by leaving a comment in the box below.  Many thanks.

HATING
Just about everything this week 'aktuarlly', including:-

Alison Hammond - Fat girl jumps on table in Big Brother 3 and then is forever on our daytime telly.  Plankton are more interesting than her.  Actually, thinking about it, plankton are nice and necessary, Hammond isn't.


People who say they'll call you back and then never call you back - You know how annoying this one is, right?  


Recruitment consultants - Enough said...


Pink fragrance - How many, just how many versions of sweet 'pink' cloying scents have been launched this Summer?  Not for me, I'm afraid.


Scaffolding -  Irrational fear #1.  Walking under it gives me the fear and now I have it outside my flat.  In mid Summer.  With see-through safety sheets that make everything seem dim = Prisoner Cell Block Chutzpah.


Promotion of apps  Take it from me, I don't and won't ever be interesting in writing about an app, especially when it's thinly veiled advertising masquerading as PR. 


DON'T CARE
East London - Still not swayed despite the attempts of many.


So it's one year from London Olympics - Wowsah.  *rolls eyes*

The Hipness of Halston Woman and Man

Halston fragrance has seduced me right in the midst of all the hoo haa of its latest business debacle.  

In one of the most shocking latest fashion announcements, investor Harvey Weinstein has departed Halston alongside British businesswoman Tamara Mellon and Sarah Jessica-Parker who was President and Chief Creative Officer (just as she appears on the cover of August's U.S Vogue).  Halston mainline collection designer Marios Schwab has also since departed proving the influence of Weinstein and his financial and creative pull.  Ben Malka, President of the BCBG Max Azria Group is rumoured to be in line to take the helm of the Halston Heritage Collection label.  We await further news with bated breath.

The news coincides with the fragrance's growing popularity, still exclusively sold in Harrods.  Halston Woman's sensuality is instant as the perfume slides onto your skin as easily as a foot sure, jive talking Tony Manero hip swayed on to the dance floor in ‘Saturday Night Fever’ only with much more chic and substance. Pure amber at his heart, the fragrance delves into a weightless veil of tuberose with golden smooth sparkles of Italian Mandarin as an instant hit.


Sweet on first application, the fragrance quickly changes shape as the sweet golden amber heart dries down to a white suede and exotic sandalwood reeking of ‘70’s nostalgia. The fragrance is sweet but not cloying and gently seduces with the ensuing dry down which has depth and elegance with its Patchouli Heart.  This smooth operator is meant for night time shenanigans and the density of a crowded bar/club - sweet seduction.


Halston Man is an altogether different animal and I have it on good authority (from @TeamChutzpah) of it's pull for men who like the fit, frippish allure of its hip headiness.  Crisply masculine with bursts of Bergamot and brush strokes of Geranium leaves which expand into the amber heart with Myrrh and Labdanum this is bold, sensual and pure.  At the base, there’s a heavy sedated Oud Wood that rocks with drips of musk. This is pure Barry Gibb Bee Gee in his Barbra Streisand 'Guilty' phase meets Mr Manero, all unbuttoned shirt and sexual swagger.

The Halston fragrance bottles are designed to perfection as we’d expect from a deeply stylish house. Designer, Elsa Peretti (she of the Tiffany heart design) fashioned these with an ergonomic, bulbous, sexy twist, coated in a warm platinum finish that reflects the fluidity of the original Halston design. Making a statement, these are too good to hide. They speak for themselves and they should. No label is present which is underplayed chic itself.

What we now need is for some fashion genius to buy the brand adding their own touch.  May I suggest Mr Tom Ford.  He'd know how to take it forward while retaining the genius and allure of the original Roy Halston.

Halston Woman Amber and Halston Man Amber are currently exclusively available at Harrods and Harrods.com.  Halston Woman starts at £39 for a 30ml EDT and goes to £75 for 100ml EDP.  Halston Man strats at £30 for a 30ml EDt and goes to £59 for a 125ml EDT

Glasgow's Central Restaurants - The old and the new

As the song goes, "I belong to Glasgow..." and like any Glaswegian I am dutifully proud of the city, its history, its art and culture, its people, its friendliness and its nightlife.

However, as a city, it has not been noted for its high class Michelin star restaurants which seem more prevalent in our frenemy Capital, Edinburgh.  Saying that, there's an abundance of choice in Glasgow but I tend to stick to either the central or West End areas of the city when going out to eat or drink.  And Glaswegians, a little like peacocks, love shopping (it is one of Britain's most esteemed shopping destinations) and then going out to parade their style in the multitudes of bars, restaurants and clubs all over the city.

Glasgow's city centre has been totally transformed and is positively Mediterranean on a sunny day with outside eating areas in all the restaurants and bars in Royal Exchange Square where the Glasgow Museum of Modern Arts is situated and a must see for any visitor to the city.

I always head for The Rogano restaurant (11 Exchange Place, G1) which is as elegant and stylish since the day it opened over 75 years ago.  The Rogano is a Glasgow institution and a mecca for all rarefied Glaswegians and, it appears, celebrity visitors to the city.  Built at the same time as (and some say modelled on) the Queen Mary cruise liner, it holds a special place in Glaswegian hearts at it harks back to our great ship building and Art Deco heritage.  

Like a super stylish magnet, this place draws you back again and again to try the oysters, lobster and largely fish themed menu whether to eat in the restaurant or shoot the breeze at the bar or in the stylish 1930's bar booths.  The restaurant epitomises art deco and fine taste.  Though there have been better days in its long past (the restaurant has changed hands a number of times), the service is good but not as friendly or as casually attentive as it used to be and that's a shame.  Still, it's a 'should go there' as you won't see many establishments like this in the world and what can be finer than sipping house champagne at a glorious bar that's like stepping into the past?

The new kid on the block that is gaining massive support and popularity in Glasgow, often with long queues is Jamie's Italian at 1 George Square, Glasgow, right slap bang in the centre of the  city.  Since it opened a year ago, this restaurant has been constantly packed partially due to the fabulous food, the great layout, the buzzy atmosphere and the fair prices. Speaking to the manager, he informed us that this branch of Jamie Oliver's empire is often near the top in terms of takings.   On the Thursday night that I visited, the restaurant, the place was upbeat, friendly and the perfect place for catching up with friends.  The manager confirmed that it was indeed a popular place for groups of 6-8 friends to get together before going out on the town due to its food,  atmosphere and location.

My friend and I had a sumptuous meat antipasti with salami, mortadella, prosciutto and schiacciata piccante, pickles, cheese (mozzarella and pecorino) and crunchy salad.  We also shared a selection of Italian bread as well as some funky chips and a rocket and radicchio salad. we were recommended a lovely clean Soave to match the meal.  

The menu at Jamie's Italian used the best in produce and uses locally sourced items when possible, a real strength of Jamie's.  This is like transporting a popular top London eaterie to the centre of Glasgow and loses none of the original charm and appeal but swooshes it up a notch by managing to capture the local ebullience.

Glasgow may have changed since I left but it's only for the better.

Let me know if you have visited either of the two Glasgow restaurants mentioned and whether you have visited the city in the comment box below.

Velour Magazine's First Birthday Party

Of course I was looking forward to attending swish, fashiontastic Velour magazine's first birthday party.  It was being held in association with my favourite jewellery designer, Mawi, had Tanqueray gin as a sponsor (*thumbs up sign*), promised model David Gandy's attendance and was also being held in The Cuckoo Club in Swallow Street, a venue I had never attended.

Starting with the latter, the ownership of this club seems to change hands as often as I change my shoes.  It's deemed as a glitzy, West End Private Members club but in my opinion, all the pink fluorescent light and all the celebrities in the world couldn't make up for what is basically a pink tinged square room with a (fag-burned) net curtain to divide the VIPS (or lack of) which doesn't help mingling or movement (and increases shoving and frustration) and also gives off little atmosphere despite the valiant attempts of quirky DJ's 'Broken Hearts' (pictured below) and the flowing Tanqueray gin and vodka in the usual sickly pink drink style that has been the choice du jour of Summer events 2011.  Add to this, the constant mopping of the floor spillages (and the multitude of designer shoes) by the Cuckoo Club cleaners during the full height of the party and the constant "excuse me's" due to the shonky club layout and it was rather hard to concentrate on having a good time.

The crowd were as mixed as my feelings about this party - all the right elements were thrown together yet somehow, just somehow it didn't quite work. The Velour Magazine contingent were unmistakable and fashion forward just as were the Mawi crew who blinged like only they could.   (I had also worn my Mawi glitz bracelet for the occasion).  But it was the suited and booted investors and football types who seemed to kill the edge on this gig as well as the constant milling of bodies shuffling about the one square room.  

I've no doubt had a better venue been secured and had the drinks been less weak, this party would have had all the trappings of a hit.  As it is, the only celebs that I saw as well as the usual fashion faces were David Ginola (*I know face*), David Gandy with girlfriend Mollie King from The Saturdays, burlesque star Immodesty Blaise and actress daughter of David & Carrie Grant, Olivia Grant (below).  

And that's just it, the celebrity contingent seemed incongruous with the hipness of the fashmag and were more in keeping with the club itself. Quelle dommage. The magazine and its distinctive editorial style deserved better.  There's always next year.

Chutzpah's Weekly Barometer

A light hearted look back over the past week’s good, bad and indifferent including the “don’t even go there’s”.

LOVING

Josh Goot for ASOS - Australian-born Goot's affordable capsule collection for ASOS (pictured right) is the perfect bridge from this season to next.

The end of THOSE Marks & Spencer campaigns - Despised throughout the industry, we will thankfully be spared any more of these smug adverts featuring Twiggy et al prancing around a fountain to a Seventies rock soundtrack like an even more demented Ruby Flipper. Now, if only somebody could have a word with Match.com.....

V Magazine's 'Heroes' issue - Featuring an Elizabeth Taylor-themed story shot by Carine Roitfeld and Mario Testino.  Get a behind-the-scenes preview HERE.

John Lewis sunglasses - John Lewis taps up a host of London-based designers, including Chutzpah fave Todd Lynn, Tattydevine, and Eley Kishimoto, for a limited edition selection of reasonable-priced sunnies.  An investment purchase should we actually get any sun.

Nicholas Kirkwood Resort 2012 - Snakeskin, neon lace, and vertiginous nude heels. Ms. Chutzpah may kill for them.  JUST LOVELY.

The Hilary Alexander memoir - In the works, apparently.  We'll keep you posted.

The LFW Schedule - TOM FORD (HUGE SCREAM!).  No Betty Jackson (BOOOO!).  London Fashion Week is shaping up to be the most thrilling yet.  Just please allocate us the tickets sans hassle!

Darphin's Aromatic Cleansing Balm with Rosewood - A secret find if ever there was one for all skin types but especially great for sensitive skin.  This thick, sticky balm is massaged onto dry skin and then rinsed off, removing every trace of make-up and leaving the smoothest feeling, pristine clean skin.  (£49.50 from Fenwick Bond St and Brent Cross) 

The Bottega Veneta fragrance - Launching in September, creative director Tomas Maier has teamed up with fashion iconoclast Bruce Weber for an advertisement starring Nine D'Urso, the daughter of French model and perfumer Ines De La Fressange.  If this romantic, heady floral ticked any more of our boxes we'd marry it but we'll settle for an ahead of release sample for Ms Chutzpah to do one of her famous fragrance reviews.  Watch Weber's advert HERE.

Revlon's Scented Nails - Get carried away by the scents of summer this season with Revlon’s new Scents of Summer Nail Enamel collection, a colour collection of nail enamels infused with summertime scents.  Love shades like Coconut Crush and the gorgeous iridescent Ocean Breeze which dry down to reveal a faint fragrance.  (£6.49)

TheTightSpot.com - Cleverly launching at the beginning of August, as the nation's women curse the skies and wrap up, this convenient e-commerce site promises to be every hosiery fetishist's dream.

HATING

Amy Winehouse's untimely death - One of the greats of our time for sure.  Poor Poor Amy.  We love you and miss you.  R.I P.


The end of the "big name" designer - As vaunted by Bernard Arnault, mostly to camouflage LVMH's tardiness in naming John Galliano's successor at Dior, and the bizarre decision to replace Antonio Marras at Kenzo with the team behind cult fashion store Opening Ceremony. Give you a clue, those designers are big names for a reason.

Daisy Lowe posing for Playboy - AKA 'Don't Put Your Daughter In A Porn Mag Mrs Lowe'. We love Daisy but this decision stretches her credibility to snapping point.


Joey Essex - Not content with cluttering up Selfridge's with tacky Reem-branded product, the tightest jeans on television also has a dance single on the way. Wake us up when he comes out.


The End of the Season - We've gone from champagne knees-ups to sickly pink, watered down drinks and house white wine in the flash of few weeks.  


Dentists - So get those Coca-Cola cupcakes and constant sickly pink drinks out of my sight.


Zara's feathered skirts - The tarty, impractical high street solution to the fur minis seen on the catwalks, such as at Holly Fulton.  Although, if you want to look like a duster, be our guest.


Halston - EVERYBODY OUT.  Our advice to the owners - sell the name to Tom Ford.  He'll know what to do with it.

Victoria Beckham's £9000 white crocodile skin handbag - To quote AA Gill, "In a stupid competition it would be disqualified for taking the piss".

Fattening beauty products - New research claims that hidden endocrine disruptors in beauty products could be affecting our weight.  This is not an excuse to eat even less.

The return of Pixie Lott - No, we don't have any idea why either.


DON'T CARE

Olly 'Made In Chelsea' Locke's heterosexuality - We can't help but wonder what attracted the formerly bisexual Olly to minted, globe-trotting, retail heiress Chloe Green. Oh!

Stella McCartney's designs for the Great Britain Olympics team - Clueless fashion journos (the same ones who lauded Sarah Burton's royal wedding dress as "a great day for British fashion") may be ecstatic about this announcement, when the reality is that McCartney's signature label, and the team's sponsor Adidas, are about as British as the Olympics themselves.  We can't help but think that this could have been a brilliant platform for emerging British talent and a wasted opportunity for our fashion industry?

Colin McDowell Curates Masters of Style Exhibition at London's Somerset House.

One of the must see fashion exhibitions of the Summer season currently resides at London's Somerset House.

Curated by the world famous fashion historian & journalist Colin McDowell and sponsored by stylish Italian beer brand, Peroni Nastro Azzuro, six of the most globally renowned fashion iconoclast brands have been brought together to show their past advertising and editorial images which have helped create and define their auras, moulding them into the fashion giants that we know today, all to celebrate Italy's 150th year as a unified state.

Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, Missoni and Prada's past campaigns are shown in all their glory in individually set-up 'brand' pavilions designed by Carmody Groarke, which are tighter than one would like - these images really need space and depth to fully appreciate the dynamic photography by fashion greats such as Mert & Marcus, Steven Klein, Aldo Fallai and Albert Watson.  

Moving through each of the pavilions, the magnificence of Tom Ford' s hallowed reign at Gucci cannot be ignored with the memorable series of re-defining Gucci moments when the brand was once again transported into sleek and chic in the 1990's.  Dolce & Gabbana's archetypal Sicilian black/white sultry imagery is synonymous with this sexy brand.  The beauty and strength of the brand shines as strongly from its birth to its current inception.  If anything, the change in brand style and direction is most strongly seen at Prada who have now ditched the sophistication of their original beginnings, all cropped black & white portrait shots and product depictions, in favour of a much more youthful and gaudy appeal  In the latest S/S'11 campaign, striped brights focus, loosely in tribute to 'Josephine Baker' which veers ever more futuristic with big pops of colour in the Fall/Winter '11 campaign, which, though highly impactful, seems miles away from its original brand ethos.  Both S/S and A/W '11 Prada campaigns are photographed by Steven Meisel.

Through the personal stories, reflections and anecdotes of the Italian designers themselves, visitors are given a rare insight into the influences behind their most memorable images, celebrating their lasting impact on the fashion industry.

The crowd in attendance for the opening launch was filled with fashion journalists, PRs and the stray celeb.

Masters of Style: Celebrating the stories behind Italian fashion curator and leading fashion commentator Colin McDowell comments:

“The expression ‘Made in Italy’ has become a global codeword for an embodiment of style, conveying Italy’s position at the forefront of international trends, inspiring and influencing the designers of tomorrow as it has done for over half a century. When it comes to self expression, effortless style and flair, nobody does it better or more naturally than the Italians. Peroni Nastro Azzurro also embodies and upholds these typically Italian values so it makes perfect sense for Peroni to bring these Italian fashion icons together for the first time in what will be a truly amazing and enriching experience for visiting guests.”  

Masters of Style: Celebrating the stories behind Italian fashion runs from  1^st July – 14^th August 2011 at Somerset House, The Strand, London, WC2R 1LA 

Cosmetics brand MeMeMe relaunches

I'm always excited when an affordable yet funky brand launches. MeMeMe Cosmetics have been around for a while but in the last 12 months, new owner Sandra Sheals has bought into the business and in doing so has completely reformulated the range looking at efficacy, moisturising abilities, range of colours and the packaging which is an essential selling point of any brand worth its salt.

Sandra Sheals comments, “We acquired  the MeMeMe brand last year with the idea of bridging the gap between high street and premium cosmetics. Every girl deserves to have access to premium make up with an affordable price tag.

We have taken the time to reformulate all of our products benchmarking against the best on the market but ensuring the retail prices fit for the high street. Sourcing ingredients and formulations from the best manufacturers from places including Italy; we have ensured MeMeMe have some of the best formulations available worldwide."

Described as an affordable boutique brand that mixes old, new, on-trend and classics, MeMeMe is infectious.  It's range begins with the Seventh Heaven Moisturising Facebase (£15) which is enriched with Shea Butter, Vitamin A ad Beta-Carotene to rejuvenate, nourish and hydrate the skin.  It's rich without being greasy and delivers moisture immediately.  I've so far used it pre make-up but it can certainly be applied post night time cleansing to deliver moisture while you sleep.

The foundations, powders and concealers all have a rich, matt effect that is smooth enough on application giving good coverage while protecting against the elements.  The Flawless Finish Foundation (£7.25) is rich in microspheres and light-absorbing pigments and comes in four shades from Porcelain Pure to a rich, dark Golden Glow.  Ditto the tinted moisturisers.  

The Powder comes loose or as a compact in both translucent and natural shades enriched with light-diffusing pigments and Micra Excel to mattify your skin.  Perfect for vintage aficionados.

The Cheek colours of the Blush Me Blush Boxes (£8.50) are vibrant and daring while coming in a compact box complete with mirror and brush.  Bronx, Coral, Pink and Rouge are the show-stoppers in this collection along with the   bright luxury long wear satin lipsticks (£8.50) which are enriched with Shea Butter and Vitamin E at a fraction of the price of Tom Ford's range. Berry Crush, Persian Pink, Hot Magenta, Tuscan Red and Pashmina Pink ooze boldness while there's more muted shades available in the Long Stay Lips range in Innocent Fawn and Timeless Heather.

For Nails and Eyes, colours range from the dramatic and electric to elegant metallics .

A brilliant new addition to the range is the multi-purpose Shimmer Stack - a fusion of five shimmer powders in pink zest, bronze or gold that can be used on cheeks, brows or as eye shadows.  The iridescent 'Beat the Blues' skin illuminator (£5.25 in sunbeam or moonbeam) provides iridescence with a subtle shine and is great used as a sweep on the eyebrow as a highlighter.


MeMeMe Cosmetics are available at selected branches of Superdrug and also on the MeMeMe website.
