The U.K. launch of Forever 21 was in full swing at the suitably unique venue of One Marylebone in London. A travel chaos, celebrate the arrival of the U.S. fast-fashion onto British soil with an exclusive party and fashion show hosted by fashion Amber Le Bon.
The evening’s show kicked-off with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood Red Carpet followed by Street Edge, Seventies Boho and playful swinging sixties British Pop. Clothing aside, the night belonged to the face of the brand Le Bon, who sailed onto the catwalk looking every bit the picture of beauty.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Forever 21 as they prepare to launch into the U.K.,” Le Bon beams. “Whenever I’m in the U.S. I always make time to visit their stores and I know how excited fashion fans in the U.K. are to have Forever 21 coming here.”
Linda Chang, senior marketing manager at Forever 21, adds, “We are incredibly excited about launching Forever 21 in the U.K. This event was a real chance to showcase some of our key looks; we can’t wait to see how U.K. fashion-fans react.”
