As I meantioned in my earlier post, I attended the 'Broadwalk Empire'
Series 2 DVD Launch Event in Regents Street a few weeks ago. It was
held in Tommy Guns Salon, which is a really cool Salon under on the
ground floor of SuperDry. It was originally a Barber shop designed by
Percy Westwood and Joseph Emberton it opened in 1929 and its
been restored by Tommy Guns.
Its a mix of original features such as the towel heater, with more
modern decor so it was the perfect setting for this event! I, myself,
had never heard of 'Broadwalk Empire' before I attended this, but you
can find a quick synopsis here.
Anyway,
the eveing consisted of champagne, cocktails and canapes, mini hair and
makeup demos for the ladies and hair styles and wet shaves for the
gentlemen, a small Blackjack tabel and then an amazing
Burlesque performance by Gwendoline Lamour. Over all it was an amazing
20's themed evening in which I had a bit too much champagne but
thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
The twenties theme
however inspired me, along with the forthcoming Hollywood release of
'The Great Gatsby' (well, in December), to create a twenties style mood
board. Enjoy!
I love the glamourous decadence of the period and embellishments and pearls. I really like the cuts of the dresses and if I had the figure and lifestyle (and budget) I would love to dress like this all the time.
