Ponystep is a hot new e-zine edited by Richard Mortimer, the Londoner who brought us legendary nightclub Boombox . His launch party for the magazine was on Sunday night at Sketch on Conduit Street and the site went live on Monday. Diane Pernet was at the Festival de Hyeres, so she asked me to report on it for http://www.ashadedviewonfashion.com/.
Sketch is great, it is a club-cum-bar-cum-contemporary art gallery so there's loads of cool stuff to look at and fill up gaps in conversation. The tree in the background above has thousands of tiny Disney characters sculpted in the bark. I met Gareth Gates, who almost won Pop Idol years ago and did really well afterwards, and took a photo of him. I knew my little sister, Gracie, would love it. He asked if I wanted one with him and I said no for fear of looking like a teeny bopper fan. It was unusual seeing a reality TV popstar among all the cool fashion people but he did look good in that jacket. Ex Boombox boy Cathal O Brien wins best jacket of the night, though, he didn't stop posing in that big black Gareth Pugh creation.
Pugh and his boyfriend are adorable, they had really elaborate professionally done make up on and looked fantastic.There was lots of free Absolut Vodka Schnapps but I don't like spirits. Anyway, had I drank it the photos would have been rubbish.It was a good night though and Ponystep rocks!
