Henry's Fash Bash

I went to Henry Holland’s party at Movida on Wednesday night, again for A Shaded View on Fashion. Movida has given Henry his own ‘Fash Bash’ night every month and this was the second one. I think they’re hoping he’ll bring them the cool points he brought to Boombox. He is very cool but not in an alienating way. I talked to him properly this time, about the current issue of i-D magazine which his best friend, the model Agyness Deyn, edited. The whole issue is a celebration of Deyn as an icon and all round sweetheart. Henry wrote a poem about her for it, which I found very cute. He was brazenly wearing bedroom slippers to the club, like Flavio Briatore (who generally only gets away with it as he owns the clubs he goes to). More free vodka cocktails…but I needed to be up for an International Reporting lecture, so none for me.

The younger members of the Vogue UK staff have formed a DJ troupe that played on the night. They are calling themselves ‘The Blonde Vagues’, according to the June issue of Vogue. They favour Britney, The Spice Girls and lots of Madonna…Nicola Formichetti from Dazed and Confused interrupted the oestrogen around midnight. Not a bad gig, this DJ-ing thing: you get endless free drinks and everyone is forced to listen to whatever you fancy. Sophie Ellis Bextor was there but she didn’t dance. I bet that is because she gets sick of people asking if it will be ‘murder’ on the dance floor and then imitating her moves.
