Designer Louise Gray

No less than 100 of Louise Gray’s closest friends were invited to a dinner in her honour last night. The irreverent and idiosyncratically London young designer had been given the opportunity to welcome her friends and comrades from all over the city to a three course supper at east london’s finest, Bistrotheque, courtesy of New Look, our favourite fashion webzine Ponystep.com and the restaurant-come-club itself. All this was pulled together by Louise and east-east magnate Richard Mortimer who told us “Louise Gray is fashion and fun and that is the future. Louise is making fashion fun again” Thank goodness for that.
After drinks and a superb dinner of trad brit fish & chips (what else) we had some zing zing raspberry cocktails and caught up with some of Louise’s invited guests that ranged from St Martins Alumni Christopher Kane and Richard Nicoll to course tutor and global fashion legend Louise Wilson, a flock of Gray fans swathed in multi coloured/textured/everything Louise Gray combinations, via original pirate supporter Fashion East’s Lulu Kennedy and a host of editorial support from British Vogue, Love, Dazed & Confused, iD, Ponystep itself alongside Style.com’s Sarah Mower and Tim Blanks.
The Style.commers were obviously in cahoots, Sarah quite rightly implored ”Everyone we love in london is here. It’s been so great to celebrate Louise’s talent” and Blanks added, “Every city needs someone who pulls all the threads together. I love the way Richard Mortimer melts fashion art and music into one glorious lump”
Fashion, food and Gray-t fun. More please again.
