Set over two floors, the beautifully modern store features bespoke interiors designed by Karim Azzabi

The basic concept that inspired Azzabi is the idea of a cocoon defining a unique and original exhibition format in which the elements that make up the internal structure are bands that line the walls like ribs and that also act as display elements

CEO Marco Palmieri hosted the event along with celebrity DJ’s Amber Le Bon and Jack Guinness

Marco Palmieri guided guests around the store whilst conversation flowed over the bespoke Garden Martini cocktail and delicious canapés.

Vintage Seekers First Birthday Party {Social Diary}

Posted on by

Frost joined Vintage Seekers at the RIBA institute on London’s Portland Place to celebrate their first birthday party, alongside shoe designer and vintage muse Charlotte Dellal, Bip Ling, Gemma Cairney, Cara Delivgne, Savile Row tailor Patrick Grant, and Henry Conway.

 



Vintage Seekers sources premium vintage goods from wine to watches and everything in between. The beautiful and historic artifacts on show – and for sale- included beautiful Dior dresses, a picture of Apollo 11 signed by all of the astronauts, a flag signed by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, classic cars- I loved a beautiful Citroen parked outside- and an Andy Warhol ‘Mao’ screen print.

They do these on their amazing website, and they also have a magazine. I also loved seeing Steve McQueen’s sunglasses. The crowd of collectors, press and celebrities were joined by Vintage Seeker’s two valued investors, luxury retail expert Jurek Piasecki (his experience include being CEO of Mappin & Webb and Goldsmith jewellers) and e-commerce guru Guy Hipwell, the former managing director of Liberty online. Co-founder and director Rob Keylock gave a brilliant speech and seemed happily overwhelmed at how well the night was going.

We drank Champagne and enjoyed Hendricks Gin. The evening finished off with Port and Whitfield cheese. It just may have been the party of the year.
