Conde Nast (London)
With no venue in mind and 600 guests, Condé Nast wanted something ‘glamorous and fun’ for their summer party. At the time, Selfridges had an in-store Vegas theme running. So we approached them to buy the props.
Then we used them to create ‘Vintage Vegas’ in Hempel Hotel’s mesmeric gardens. We added a stunning marquee with beautiful hand-embroidered linings, and an elegant Mughal tent. We also turned the hotel’s annex into a ‘love chapel’. This came complete with Elvis and a pink Cadillac.

COUOUC
With a client like Condé Nast, this had to be a feminine and über-fashionable event in central London. We took a Bollywood theme, which was big at the time. Then we matched it with the New York catwalk’s favourite net skirts and butterflies
