Over the week, Grey Goose hosted parties for the premieres of Parkland, Michael Sugar, Horns, You Are Here, Can A Song Save Your Life, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, The Invisible Woman and Don Jon to name but a few!

As always, the parties were attended by an array of high profile guests whom enjoyed a selection of bespoke award season cocktails that were specially curated by Joe McCanta, Grey Goose's Global Brand Ambassador.

Maje - the go to destination for stylish originality

I love the French label Maje... with a Parisian style sensibility, the collections are effortlessly chic and wearable.

Founded by Judith Milgrom, a Moroccan-born designer and self proclaimed 'lover of bohemian, feminine fashion', Judith is a fashion child who has applied the knowledge she gained from her mother and grandmother, to produce a striking brand that is synonymous with cool-girl chic.  

I love the combinations of fabrics and textures used as well as the attention to detail. My favourite pieces in the collections though are always the leathers! From the leather trousers, skirts and jackets to the winter coats with leather panels, the quality is always exceptional and deliciously soft!!!!! Season after season, Maje manage to get it just right.

 

Whilst the brand is by no means cheap, it's definitely a place to shop in for investment pieces where you can be confident that you are buying something original and stylish.
