F1 drivers entered Amber Lounge’s luxury oasis on Sunday night and let their hair down for one of the greatest end-of-season parties to date. Fernando Alonso, departing from the Championship after 17 years, was joined by his fellow drivers Max Verstappen, Kevin Magnussen, Carlos Sainz, Esteban Ocon, Pierre Gasly, Stoffel Vandoorne, Marcus Ericsson, Brendon Hartley, Sergey Sirotkin, Antonio Gionivazzi.

When the time came to say goodbye to the Spaniard, the club plunged into darkness for the ‘Black Out’ moment, then lit up with 17 specially designed bottles of Moët Champagne filled with sparklers and flashing lights. Each bottle signified a year he has competed in Formula 1.

Emotions ran high as Sigala announced the exclusive bottle moment which was delivered in true Amber Lounge style, fueling the euphoric atmosphere. Joining Sigala on stage Alonso soaked up the elated vibes as the superstar DJ revved up the ecstatic crowd with an ultra-energetic performance.

To add to the electric energy, the Grey Goose bar illuminated the exclusive party. The ‘For The Hunters’ inspired terrace area was a favourite for partygoers after a chic but relaxing vibe.

Sonia Irvine said: “It was one of the most incredible nights we’ve ever had at Amber Lounge. Although it was sad to see a much-loved driver as Fernando end his career in F1, we were honoured to hold the official celebrations for him. I think what we created was worthy of an F1 legend.”

Designers from the US, UK, Italy, Colombia, Dubai and other countries will present their work through exhibits and unique runway presentations in the art gallery setting of The Carriage House. A special collective runway presentation will be styled by celebrity stylist Melissa Laskin, combining pieces from the participating collections for looks with attitude. The theme of this special presentation is a quote from Laurel Ulrich Thatcher, “Well behaved women rarely make history.”
Moda 360 is thrilled to announce VIP Ambassador Audrey Smaltz. Ms. Smaltz has an illustrious career in fashion, beginning as a model, then transitioning her behind the scenes knowledge of the industry into the first fashion backstage company, The Ground Crew. Audrey has worked with all the major fashion houses, providing back of the house services to ensure that the runway shows run seamlessly. She has been recognized by industry for her professional support of designers and her incredible personal style. Audrey Smaltz is an inspiration to independent designers, and Moda 360 is honored to welcome her to the front row of the runway presentations.
Moda 360 was created to give independent designers promotion and support outside of the fashion calendar, giving them an innovative platform to present their collections to an audience that might miss them during busy fashion and market weeks. Moda 360 is committed to supporting emerging artists in all media, featuring the videos of international filmmakers at the event, on the Moda 360 website and video channels. Videographers from the UK and Colombia are collaborating with participating designers to create films featuring Moda 360 designers.

Moda 360 brings a charitable element to the lineup with a special cocktail reception on June 30 benefiting Friends of the Congo, an organization promoting awareness of the conflict affecting the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and also the spirit and power of the Congolese people as they overcome adversity and strengthen the economic and social structure of their country and their national culture.
