A  party devised to bring together all the intimate, nice and endearing friends of courtney Blackman. The get together was to celebrate the day courtney was joyously ushered into the world.

The night was a blend of glamour which took place in the lavish Forward Pr premises - on the 4th floor of the Economist building on st James' street.- within intimately comfortable and relaxed surrounding.

Mixers of world Class Spirits.

It was a party with everything you can possible desire, the fantastic friends and conversation,the array of exclusive spirits, wine, excitingly delicious nibbles and exquisite ice cream - courtsey Corrie Neilsen. And also not forgetting the finest music which inter wined and put everyone in a relax mood.

The creme of the music so versatile and enjoyable throughout the night, as the birthday girl - Courtney oozed her dance moves on the dance floor in a dazzling sparkling vintage sequence outfit. Devine and epic Courtney looked.Oh yes!

'Bringing sexy back'as sang by Justine Timberlake was certainly achieved by Mrs Blackman with her moves.

Truly a night to be cherished.

Happy joyous birthday and pleasure as always.

Jasper Gardiva Spring/Summer 2012

Jasper Garvida, speaks Art in His S/S 2012 Collection. Fashion Is Art.

Jasper Gardiva S/S12

Jasper Garvida, designer of luxury women's wear, presents 'Autour d'un point', the S/S 2012 collection.

It's a collection of contrasts: the morning sun and the twilight shade, the city and the vale, the darkest tones and the lightest colours.

Jasper's main inspiration for this collection is the individual vision of Diana Vreeland, legendary fashion editor of ''Harper's Bazaar' and 'Vogue', who could produce such 'bon mots' as "Pink is the navy blue of India".

'Autour d'un point' floats around the female body, its point and purpose, with circular shapes and strong silhouettes. The name of the collection is taken from a painting by Frantisek Kupka, a strong stylist, with an individual vision.

To repeat, the female body is the centre of the collection, Metallic tones - silver, gold - are used as highlights, alongside more restrained blacks and whites.

There are bold geometric shapes, with touches of animal and feather. An innovative technique, using an illusion of 3-D printing, softens some of the hard edges; folded sequins give the illusion of studding without the weight.

The original painting, 'Autour d'un point', can be seen in the Peggy Guggenheim museum in Venice.

Ensure your are wearing a piece from the collection when you pay your visit.

Regards,

Charles.
