London Fashion Week kicked off in style last night with CULTURED European Contributor Georgina Cohen, Fashion Director Alexandra Cronan, and eBay's party at the Twenty Two's the Music Room. The evening celebrated CULTURED’s Art & Film issue cover star, Marisa Abela, and brought together a dynamic mix of art, film, and fashion insiders. Guests sipped on spicy margaritas and negronis while indulging in sliders and pizzettas. As the night unfolded, the crowd spilled into the back bar where the atmosphere was electric and music pulsated from DJ Emma Shenkman's uplifting setlist.
Notable attendees included model and photographer Laura Bailey, Southbank Chair and cultural commentator Misan Harriman, theater impresario Sally Greene, Abela’s Industry co-star Sagar Radia, actors Kate Sumner and Leo Suter, actor Jazzy De Lisser, celebrated creative duo Charlotte and Philip Colbert, beauty insider Bella Broekman-Tilbury, model Tess McMillan, curator and writer Péjú Oshin, and artist-to-watch Xavier Leopold.
Abela herself stunned in a striking red ensemble, carrying an eBay pre-loved Louis Vuitton Alma BB Bag in red monogram vernis, and perfectly complementing the rich velvet interiors of the club. The space was further brought to life with stunning florals by Frida Kim and beautifully crafted jellies by Willa Burton.
A true celebration of art, film, and fashion, the evening set the tone for an unforgettable start to London Fashion Week.
