Fashion Forward: Blending Design, Fashion Into Your Drinking Experience
The world of fashion and design goes hand-in-hand with glitz and glamour, and where there is glitz and glamour, there are parties, people and drinking. There are endless possibilities and ways in which one can incorporate their love for fashion and design into their drinking experience, and we are here to shed some light and deep dive into how that can be achieved, so read on!
Host A Fashion-Themed Cocktail Attire Party
Encourage your guests to turn up to your party in Fashion-inspired cocktail attire. Attendees can choose an outfit inspired by a particular designer, or based on a fashion era or style movement. Whether it’s the florals of the 50s and 60s, the bell bottoms and high waists of the 70s and 80s or the glitz and glamour of the 20s and 30s, the aim of the night is to impress!
Create A Runway
If space permits, create a small runway where your guests can strut their stuff and showcase their best fashion forward outfits
Buy or Customise A Designer Bar Cart
Display your alcohol collection with the utmost style in a designer bar cart or a custom home bar setup, which becomes the focal point of your party space. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it can surely be tasteful and well thought out!
Look for design references online and try to find a local craftsman to create the customised designer bar of your dreams (or buy one if you can afford to).
Designer Cocktail Napkins, Coasters, Glassware
Elevate your table setting to the next level by sourcing designer cocktail napkins, coasters and glassware for your soirée. These can feature stylish motifs, iconic patterns, or quotes from famous fashion figures.
It’s these minute and subtle details that will add a touch of luxury to your drinking experience and leave a lasting impact.
Display High Fashion Magazines And Cocktail Books
Create a niche where you display high fashion magazines and stylish cocktail books for guests to peruse as they make their way around your party. These will also add an element of conversation and interactiveness to your guests’ night as they discuss the books on display.
Customised Stirrers, Garnishes and Ice Cubes
Personalise yours and your guests’ drinks with customised garnishes and drink stirrers which showcase your unique style. You can use monogrammed stirrers, edible glitter, or handcrafted garnishes which in turn will add a fashionable flair not only to your cocktails but even your image.
Another element that tends to be the wow factor and a big hit are designer ice cubes. These ice cubes can feature iconic design patterns of fashion houses, shapes, designer logos or monograms or even embedded flowers and fruit slices. These artisanal ice cubes will only be a visual treat for your guests but they will also keep their drinks chilled without diluting the flavours too quickly.
The great thing about these fashion and design inspired suggestions is that they can be done just for you as an individual, to keep your own love and interest for fashion alive! By incorporating these fantastic and creative ideas, you can seamlessly infuse design and fashion into your drinking experience (solo or collective), creating an immersive and stylish atmosphere which in term will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Cheers to embracing style, elegance, and creativity in every sip!
