Mother of Pearl Sample Sale

Listen up fashion fans: cult British clothing label Mother Of Pearl is having a sample Sale in London this weekend. There’ll be up to 70% off summer 11 and past season styles plus one-off samples. The address couldn’t be more appropriate: 33 Fashion Street. Hot foot it down there!

 

First Ladies of Fashion

Michelle Obama and  Samantha Cameron both looked ultra-sleek at 10 Downing Street this afternoon. Mrs Obama wore a pre-fall dress in wool crepe by Roksanda Ilincic (the second time she’s worn the London-based Serbian designer) while Sam Cam opted for a painterly Peter Pilotto dress. We’re happy to report that Starworks have special relationships with both of the designers in question (we represent them) and are SO proud that they’re flying the flag for British fashion in such a stylish way.

 

 

Cupboard Love

Starworkers in London are currently obsessed with the delicious fare on offer at Lina Stores.  The family-run establishment stocks all manner of store cupboard essentials, such as homemade pesto, pasta, sauces, sausages, breads, olives and cheeses. The Soho instituation was recently refurbished but is still as charming as ever. We bumped in to the perenially chic Hannah Swerling  from ELLE Magazine by the green-tiled deli counter earlier today. It turns out that it’s not just the tasty produce she loves  – her fiance is part of the family firm!

Wedding Belle

While vast swathes of the UK population claim to be indifferent to the impending nuptials of our future king, here at Starworks’ London HQ we’re beyond excited. Some staffers have really gone all out; Starworker Emilyne Mondo has dressed for success today in the vain hope that an last minute invite to Westminster Abbey will be forthcoming. She looks incredibly aristocratic, but something tells us that she might have left it too late. As a back-up plan, she’s also invested in a Wills & Kate mug so she can sip tea while watching the service on TV like the rest of us. Let the right royal knees up commence!

Hats off to Miss Mondo!

A view of the pool at the LACOSTE L!VE party in celebration of Coachella

This weekend at Coachella, Lacoste L!VE pulled out all the stops to celebrate the festival in style. With all-star guests including Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson and Katy Perry the pool party was in full swing all day Saturday and Sunday of the festival in Palm Springs. LACOSTE L!VE is a new, directional line of clothing and footwear from the iconic label. Focused on youthful optimism and referencing cultural trends in fashion, art and music, the collection features slimmer fits, pop colours and eye-catching patterns.

Guests at the Coachella party sipped crocktails and danced poolside next to giant inflatable crocodiles as Nick Valensi of The Strokes and, Lord of the Rings star, Elijah Wood DJ’ed. Twilight star Kellan Lutz played based baseball with friends before making his way over to the SS11 Lacoste L!ve gifting suite to pick out an outfit.  Apl.de.ap and Glee’s own Lea Michele were so excited about the choice they changed straight into their new clothes.  www.lacoste.com/live
