Nicky Haslam drew a star-studded crowd to the launch of his autobiography Redeeming Features Thursday night, including Dame Vivienne Westwood who arrived by bicycle to the delight of assembled paparazzi.
The bash, which took place at London’s aqua nueva, was graced by Lucien Freud, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson, Nick Rhodes, Cilla Black and a host of other famous names.
Sir Philip Green showed up eager and early, mingling with luminaries and tastemakers from the worlds of art, fashion, music and television, and Bryan Ferry drew admiring gasps when he pitched up with his son and Haslam’s godson, Otis Ferry.
Guests, including Jasper Conran, Nicholas Coleridge, Annabel Goldsmith, Alexandra Shulman, Claire Sweeney and James Brown, feasted on a menu of marinated salmon and capers, prawn, leek and soft cheese parcels, mushroom and truffle ravioli and grilled chicken skewers.
Desert was a mini raspberry cheesecake served in a shot glass, washed down with Louis Roederer champagne, pink gin martini and whisky orange cocktails.
And a good night was had by all!
