Maria Grachvogel's Glamour After Five Soiree

To celebrate the success of the last five years and thank all of her loyal fans for their support during this time, Maria hosted a fabulous party on the 19th of October at her Sloane Street store – London’s most fashionable street. Many of Maria’s closest friends, celebrities and loyal clients gathered to offer their congratulations. Guests included Marie Helvin, Lisa Butcher, Mica Paris, Tara Palmer Tomkinson, Rick Parfitt, Meredith Ostrom, Jeremy Sheffield and Jo Malone.

Maria and her VIP guests arrived at the party in style and luxury in a beautiful midnight blue Maybach car. The store was decorated with mannequins dressed in beautiful vintage Maria designs and exciting one-off show pieces from her extensive archive. The atmosphere was electric as guests enthused over the exquisite cocktails developed by Maria herself, the highlight being “Glamour after Five”, a wonderful concoction of Cointreau, vodka, passionfruit and lime muddled with sugar over crushed ice. Everyone entered into the party spirit with many guests heading on to the sizzling after-party held at hot new club Volstead, having grabbed their generous goody bag stuffed with little luxuries from L’Artisan Parfumueur, a cute Cointreau Cocktail book and a fabulous gift and voucher from Maria herself. Once in the glamorous surrounds of Volstead, the cocktails continued to flow as the tunes kicked in, encouraging all onto the dancefloor! The revelry continued well in to the early hours, and everyone agreed it was a fabulous celebration.
