Grand Union Camden http://www.harlemloves.com/2011/05/the-experience-may-17-the-culture-club-meet-mingle-grand-union-camden/ http://www.harlemloves.com/2011/05/the-experience-may-17-the-culture-club-meet-mingle-grand-union-camden/#comments Fri, 20 May 2011 19:17:09 +0000 Harlem http://www.harlemloves.com/?p=4795 So on Tuesday I had the great pleasure of attending a meet + mingle session hosted by Ms Tilly Cooper, journalist extraordinaire behind The Cultural Exposé and founder of The Culture Club…

After spotting The Culture Club was having a Meet and Mingle session for the new and uninitiated, I was looking forward to popping along and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Matilda equipped us all with a fab set of questions and we ‘speed-greeted’ each other for the evening, finding out everything from where people were born (Hong Kong, Bahrain, Somalia…) to what they’d do with a £1 million (Pay off mortgages, Travel, Give it all to charity… ). It was really interesting with such a great group of people that I often found time ran out before we were ready to end the convos.

It was great to meet Tilly herself, rocking fantastic Ruby Woo lips, love that colour… actually speaking of makeup I also met the lovely Karen aka @misskhart who recommended Mac’s So Chaud lipstick… it’s orange people and looks amazing. Can’t wait!

Anyway I’d definitely look forward to other events run by The Culture Club. It was great to meet some new faces. Fab times.

So, The Culture Club have special events planned over the next few months. Do check them out as an added bonus they’re also running a promotion for 50% off bronze membership! Bargain!

A blog by Danyelle look at “fashion, photography, art & accessories as they relate to naturally kinky, curly & coiled hair”.

Anyway whilst I was there I came across a number of gorgeous pictures of French musician Inna Modja taken by Arthur Delloye. I just had to share. I’m loving her hair and overall styling. Tres chic.

I salute… applaud… do a celebratory two step to the guys behind Street Etiquette. I love their style, culture and ambition.

They’re onto a very good thing with their behind-the-scenes video, Sewn From The Soul, which you can get a peek at below. Love. It.

Given that our US cousins are now celebrating Black History Month, Street Etiquette thought they’d put this together as an ode to the greats.

They said:

“This video is meant to honor individuals from Miles Davis to Dr. Cornel West with a splash of our own Street Etiquette style.”

Sewn From The Soul

FYI the poem at the start is by “by Brooklyn resident and Street Etiquette friend Joekenneth Museau” and here’s some of the images from the shoot.

PS: I should mention that my work buddy did bring Street Etiquette to my attention a few weeks back… Thaaaanks Jos :)
