VIPs and industry luminaries gathered at Shoreditch House for the second InStyle Best of British Talent party in association with Lancôme last night. Held in anticipation of the 2011 Orange British Academy Film Awards in February,the cocktail party also celebrated the March issue of InStyle magazine, which features a talent portfolio of hot young British stars set to light up stage and screen in 2011.

 “InStyle’s Bafta party, in its second year, is all about exciting young talent in film and  television with music and fashion sprinkled on top. We look forward to celebrating all of the people we’ll be watching in 2011, and Julian Broad’s beautiful Bafta portfolio featured in our March issue.” said Eilidh MacAskill, InStyle Editor in Chief.

The star-studded crowd (including Heidi Klum, Thandie Newton, David Gandy, Benedict Cumberbatch and Nathalie Dormer) were entertained by a live performance by Eliza Doolittle, which included hit songs Skinny Jeans and Pack Up, with Sunday Girl and artist Bip Ling hitting the decks later in the evening.

Pearly Queens

Up-and-coming startlets actor Katie Mcgrath and singer Sunday Girl (aka Jade Williams) looked supremely polished yet fashion-forward at the Instyle Best of British party last night. Their secret? The effortlesslessly cool pieces they were sporting from Maia Norman’s clothing label Mother of Pearl. The label – like the ladies wearing it last night at Shoreditch House – is definitely one to watch.

Hello Tailor

Ozwald Boateng being interviewed by the BBC on the red carpet

To celebrate 25th years in menswear the iconic Savile Row tailor Ozwald Boateng closed London Fashion Week with a spectacular show held in the Odeon Leicester Square on Wednesday 22nd September.

Globally renowned for melding traditional tailoring techniques with sharp cuts and a very modern use of colour, Boateng has dressed an incredible array of A-list talent (David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Robbie Williams, Daniel Day Lewis, Jamie Foxx to name but a few) and, even, the world’s most powerful man Barack Obama.  The red carpet event in Leicester Square was attended by over 1,000 guests including VIPs, captains of industry and key members of the style press.

 Boateng also used the opportunity to exclusively preview the documentary film ‘A Man’s Story’, which candidly charts his business and personal life throughout the late nineties and the noughties. Filmed over the space of 12 years, it provides a unique insight into how the most talked about tailor on Savile Row has become a global luxury menswear brand.

The groundbreaking fashion show featured over 100 models wearing pieces from both the A/W 2010 and S/S 2011 collections. To further add to the cinematic feel of the evening, the event featured surround sound and a unique fragrance by Roja Dove was piped into the auditorium, immersing viewers in an unforgettable 4-dimensional experience. The models then left the cinema and walked in a procession back to Savile Row, lead by Sam Branson.
