Kaia, Bella, Kendall, and All the It Brits Turned Up to Love Magazine’s London Fashion Week Fête

“Have you met Suzi Quatro?” said the ever-gallant Giles Deacon on entering the 10th floor of The Standard hotel’s Decimo restaurant in London. Inside was a fashionable eclecticism and fun crowd, which ran the gamut of 1970s legends to supermodels and fashion designers—a crowd that could have only been assembled by Love magazine.

Arriving straight from their signing of the latest issue of Love at Dover Street Market, hosts Katie Grand (in a pink satin Commes des Garçons coat and a chic, bibbed Miu Miu minidress) and Bella Hadid made their entrance to the already bustling London Fashion Week dinner which took over the whole restaurant. Halfway through the fashion marathon, model guests included Adwoa Aboah, Lindsey Wixson, Vaughan Elizabeth, Nyasha Matonhodze, Alexis Ruby, Duckie Thot, Jean Campbell, and Jordan Barrett. Many had grouped together and had a pre-party to get ready with makeup by Marc Jacobs Beauty. Wixson and Campbell both wore major electric blue eyes, and Ruby glimmered in glitter. “London’s been so good to me!” she said joyfully. With no seating plan, everyone hunkered down for family-style market fish, served with mushroom rice and beetroot, while reflecting on a vibrant London Fashion week. Silver! Party frocks! And…some excellent coats! Molly Goddard got cozy in a booth with Mimi Xu and Dover Street Market’s Dickon Bowden. Actress Gwendoline Christie, in an elegant black dress (très Belle de Jour), table-hopped over to Grand and warmly embraced her.

The family ties were strong last night: Iris and Rafferty Law (also a Love cover star) came with their proud mom, Sadie Frost. Quatro also came with her daughter and granddaughter. Cecilia Chancellor’s date was her son Lucas, and Vivienne Westwood-muse Sara Stockbridge came with her daughter, Lelu. Erdem, after his dazzling ode to Cecil Beaton at the National Portrait Gallery earlier in the day, arrived with his twin sister, Sara.

As well as celebrating the magazine’s 23rd issue, the evening also a lauded its new appointments: Ben Cobb as editor in chief men’s, Graham Rounthwaite as creative director, and Oliver Volquardsen in his new position as fashion director. A chilled glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne was raised in their honor.

When supper ended, the party started with some spectacular moves from Mimi Wade, Alexis Ruby, and artists Parris and Miss Fame, as Jodie Harsh took to the decks. Harsh appropriately opened with “Smiley Face” by Duck Sauce. It may no longer be Valentine’s Day…but love was in the air, Courtney Love in the room, and the fashion community had one last dance before Milan.
