La Petite Party Diaries: Cocktails and Craftsmanship with Gucci

 
This week I was back in my gladrags and off to Gucci's beautifully renovated Bond Street store for a very special kind of cocktail party. Thanks to my Tuesday morning splurge I might not be wining and dining for some time but if ever there were an occasion which required a whole new ensemble then let's be honest, that's it. The shop had been redesigned by Frida Gianni herself and its opulent, Art Deco style provided the perfect setting for an unbelievably elegant evening. On the ground floor there was an Artisans Corner where we were able to watch the accessories we all covet being handmade by the brand's ultra skilled Florentine craftsmen. 
 
 
 
 
Immaculately dressed guests were treated to a preview of Gucci's stunning Cruise collection and the opportunity to explore the new and improved store with a drink (or three) in hand. I've been obsessing over Gucci's AW11 collection for about six months now so was hugely over excited to get my hands on it in the flesh. The jewel toned furs and floor sweeping gowns were every bit as spectacular in the shop as they looked on the runway and was tempted to spend the entire evening trying them on but just about managed to resist. 
 
 
 
 
If a cocktail party is hosted by Gucci then you expect the catering to be pretty impressive but nothing could have prepared me for this. Fresh fruit cocktails, foie gras and melt-in-your-mouth tartlets were just a few of the delicacies handed out by a troop of the most gorgeous waiters imaginable. Great food, delicious drinks, glamourous guests and eye candy all around... Now if that's not a recipe for a perfect party then I just don't know what is. 
 
Love Ella. X
