Jimmy Choo's dinner for Rob Pruitt

Pandemonia and Snowy felt obliged to put their best foot forward when showing up at the Jimmy Choo & W Magazine private dinner, held in honour of American artist Rob Pruitt.

The party was being held at P's and Snowy's favourite stomping ground, Belgrave Square. At number 35, the interior resembled a 60's pop art installation, with its black-and-white sunray stripes and strip neon lights.

Pandemonia and Snowy exchanged a few well-chosen pleasantries with Pierre Denis, the former John Galliano SA general manager, who's taken on the mantel of CEO of Jimmy Choo. Pierre played the guarded man and a sober professional.

Over Pierre's shoulder was the forever-youthful Nick Rhodes, who showed the lads how he keeps his dashing looks—by simply finding himself a delicious piece of arm candy in the shape of Nefer Suvio. And hey presto, Dorian Gray, eat your heart out!

 Michael Stipe, American singer, lyricist, and visual artist, was proving to be a model citizen. When chatting with Pandemonia and Snowy, all three of us watched Billy Childish, the Chatham artist rebel. Billy, too, was on best behaviour, which is pretty strange for a guy who carved out a name for himself as an anarchist in art and music world.

Next in line were singer and songwriter Gavin Brown , New York model Mickalene Thomas, and Racquel Chevremont. Snowy gave them a nod and got a returned smile.

 And at the dinner, Pandemonia sat next to Caroline Issa, executive fashion director of quarterly Tank magazine. Caroline was another one minding her p's and q's with her magazine founder within ear shot.

Then, English actress Natalie Dormer took her seat, causing a bit of a stir amongst the guests. Snowy, who'd been driven wild with lust by her portrayal of Anne Boleyn in the Tudors, managed to raise some eyebrows as well. However, tonight Pandemonia noticed that Natalie acted more like the Virgin Queen.

Pandemonia led a parental example by scooping Snowy for early night, thus paving the way for other guests to show respect and not allow the night to drag on. And give the gallery founder David Maupin and his other half, W's editor in chief Stefano Tonchi—who's also cohosting the night—a respectable time so that they could both get back to their hotels like good parents should.

Pandemonia at Nico Didonna's Italian Cultural Institute show

Knowing Pandemonia had made him collars to match her new outfits, Snowy awoke very excited about London Fashion Week.

For her first big event at the Italian Cultural Institute, for Modaitalianalondon, the gorgeous fashionista chose to wear a brand new turquoise wrap dress with contrasting sleeves, all carefully contrived and weaved together with a very aesthetically pleasing belt and fabulous blonde hair do with yellow highlights.

I ask you, could she look any more fabulous?  I actually believe Mr. Whippy may approach her for some advertising work in the very near future... 

On their very stylish arrival, greeted by a volley of photographers and fans, Pandemonia and Snowy met with Carlo Presenti, the Director of the Institute. Carlo says he:

"created and organised Modaitalianalondon, to bring together innovative Italian fashion and food."

After a brief chat with Pandemonia and a little pet of Snowy, Carlo invited the two fashionistas to attend the fashion show on the first floor of the institute, launched by none other than Nico Didonna.

Virtually salivating with anticpation, Pandemonia and Snowy scaled the stairs to find themselves seated in a very impressive vantage point, enabling them to see Nico's collection sail by.  All of it was paraded on a multitude of gorgeous female models; complimented significanlty by a couple of strapping Nico's menswear models.

It's worth a brief note here to comment on the remarkable performances from M&P models and First model management, without whom the show wouldn't have been such a success.  The same can be said for Christoper Ciccone, who accessorised the show with a stunning rubber footwear range and Bronzallure rose gold plated jewellery & watches.  Pandemonia and Snowy managed to have a chat with Christopher Ciccone at the end of the show, who confessed that

"Nico's show is the Ciccone brand's first global runway show"

 

Pandemonia and Snowy were of course treated to a chat with the man behind it all, Mr. Nicco Didonna.  He had this to say:

 

"I loved my show in this exquisite setting, and later I'm hosting a party with Christopher at my flagship store, with LA band "Early Morning Rebel" playing a live set, and then on Sunday I'm flying off to New York, for the Coterie trade fare"

Such a busy high flying fashion guru!

 

How can we keep up!

 

More to come on Pandemonia's visit to the Italian Cultural Institute next week
