Last week the Soho Hotel (a bit of a tongue twister we know!) played host to our French Pit Stop Press Day. In true French style, the day begun with French pastries in the morning then afternoon tea in the afternoon (believe it or not) and champagne and strawberries dipped in chocolate in the evening. The constant supply of extra-large macaroons had a fan club too.

But the food wasn’t the only thing that the fashion press were drooling over, the new AW15 collection made quite an impression with the Coralie Marabelle x La Redoute Box Pleat Dress and Jumpsuit stealing the limelight.

Another attendee of the event was Good Morning Britain’s lovely Debbie Harper who picked up some goodies for the morning TV presenters who always manage to look on point at this time in the morning. Allowing the press to browse in style, there was a beauty bar at the event. People channeled their inner Bridget Bardot with cat flick eyeliner and French bright red lips. Many fashionistas got their hair styled into the Chanel Updo, Balmain Hive and Dior Sleek Pony.
