All The Glossip: Rockin’ Around The (Designer) Christmas Tree
By The Gloss
Festive and stylish events in the busy social calendar …
We’re calling it: party of the year so far! The opening of Gloria Osteria on Dublin’s Westmoreland Street drew a crowd of 600 who flocked to the former bank building to see its long-awaited transformation. Oozing glamour, the interiors by Chloe Townsend are inspired by a 1970’s Milanese palazzo, with vintage curiosities and archival fashion handpicked from Italian markets giving Studio 54 vibes (minus Bianca Jagger on a white horse). Guests enjoyed canapés by head chef Davide Migallo, cocktails and music from DJ Marcus O’Laoire. For a front row seat – and prime people watching – take a pew at the ten-metre long Rosso Levanto marble bar, or cosy up in the private Salottino. @gloriaosteria.dublin
Aurelija Kupryte, partner of Michael Fetherston, owner of The K Club welcomed The Saturdays star Una Healy and 300 fans to switch on the resort lights to mark the official start to the season. She led celebrations with a selection of seasonal songs including her latest, Ready For Christmas, live for the first time.
Decorating your Christmas tree this weekend? Take your cue from Burberry’s chief creative officer Daniel Lee, who designed Claridge’s tree in London with bows made from surplus fabrics. Sip and savour a Burberry-inspired cocktail, Winter Knight, or pop into their pop-up in the hotel featuring a scarf bar.
