The Finest French in Cuisine in Le Paris

With Paris Fashion Week kicking off today, we thought we would advise you fashion followers on how to experience the finest french cuisine as well as the finest french fashion this week. As many of the top luxury fashion houses present their collections at the royal Grand Palais, located right on the doorstep of the Champs Elysees, we thought we'd start there. 

L'ATELEIR RENAULT
Yes, you may recognise the name from the car manufacturer and you are right. The owner Renault also owns a delightful French restaurant prefectly situatued on the Champ Elysees itself. Overlooking a deluxe car showroom with full frontal glass windows, diners can watch passers by enjoy the luxury shopping experience in the fashion capital of the world. The menu boasts many traditional French dishes including beef, fish and even a lighter option such as the Classic club sandwich. Previosuly known for its star spotting location, we are sure that this is one of the hotspots to dine during Paris Fashion Week. 

MONTECRISTO

This stylish and elegant first class Italian restaurant is more upmarket than the first choice but with more Parisian pizzazz. With a world class DJ playing downstairs in bar most evening, this is sure to be a regualar place for fashion goers after a long day. And the perfect atmosphere to wear your 'Off the Catwalk' look from Innu London (available soon from www.innulondon.com)

LA PETIT BORDELAIS

A quick jump over the River La Seine from The Palais de Tokyo, where over the next 10 days you will collections from the likes of John Galliano and Gareth Pugh. This infamous restaurant has had many a celebrity chef, now ran by the Michelin starr chef Phillippe Penecote. The menu has been created to include inspiration from all over France. The team at Innu London cannot wait to try this place. 

QUEEN CLUB 

Fancy experiencing Paris after dark?  Queen's club is one of the best in Paris situated off the Champs Elysees it is the perfect way to blow off steam after a long day of running round Paris watching fashion shows... It also the perfect place to wear one of our deluxe snakeskin clutch bags, available here: http://www.innulondon.com/collections/

So if your lucky enough to be in Paris this week, we do hope you consider our wel researched options. 

Finally, we are doing yet another fashion show at Dstrkt on Friday 28th February for the Red Carpet Label's London launch party so if your around we would love you to all come and support us. Tickets are availble here and it is sure to be a night to remember... especially with the like of Vogue and OK magazine attending. 

See you Friday

Innu London Debut's at London Fashion Week

Innu London have done it! We did London Fashion Week and what a busy couple of weeks it's been. Preparing for 3 fashion shows in 2 days has been the most exciting this  we've done so far...
Our first show was in association with Fashion TV and the MTV Staying Alive Foundation at the lavish, Cafe de Paris in Leicester Square. Our day began at 10am with designers frantically getting themselves organised, models practicing the walk down the runway for hours on end before the much anticipated dress rehearsal. When the crowds began to pour in and the adrenaline was running through everyone, the show was fantastic. The crowd, press, designers and models were cheering… it was a raging success.

The second and third show overlapped…at the same time on the final day of London Fashion Week as we at Innu London are always looking for new challenges. For the Bloggers Love event, the show took place at Mahiki, London. The event proved very successful showcasing our old and new bag collection to bloggers, stylists, press and celebrities as well as a catwalk show. The show was much more relaxed than the others as we showcased our casual collection and we told the models had fun resulting in an incredible response. The video can be watched on You Tube here (please excuse the music):

Our third and final show at Dstrkt, London,  we were asked to do by the cofounder of Art in Fusion TV, Rebecca Riofrio only last week! (Kim does like to put herself in the deep end). But nonetheless, she pulled through yet again with her ‘Diamonds in the Rough’ Collection. Dainty, diamond detailing give the collection a luxury touch. 

Every minute of preparing for fashion week has been amazing. We could not of got through the shows without the support of our friends and family. And we would not of had the experience if it wasn’t for Starr Parties, Bloggers Love or Rebecca Riofrio, from Art in Fusion and our beautiful Innu London models. 

All the pictures from the previous few days are available now on our new website as our the new SS14 tote bag collection. Watch this space to be the first to know when our dresses from the shows will be available to buy online.

Relax in the spa while the native monkeys chatter amongst themselves. The hotel offers a variety of activities from dance classes to a volcano adventure  tour to relaxing spa treatments...this is the ultimate getaway. 

LITTLE DIX BAY HOTEL - CARIBBEAN 

Located on the quaint private island of Virgin Gorda in the heart of the British Virgin Islands in the Carribean, the one of a kind Little Dix Bay Hotel oozes luxurious charm. As someone who's been fortunate enough to go there, I can highly recommend this stunning and mesmerising hotel. Picture this, waking up in your private hut on the beach front and taking a morning stroll overlooking the colourful barrier reef to most exquisite breakfast buffet you can only imagine. Spend the afternoon lounging on the white sand beach or diving with the giant sea turtles or even hiring a jeep and exploring the nearby beaches to find secret coves and caves full of even more beauty. The evening is taken up by drinks, music and elegant cuisine in the hotels star restaurant....do I need to explain any more. Get Booking!!

THE CAMBRIAN HOTEL - SWITZERLAND

We couldn't have a top hotel list without including one from the luxury capital of the world. And this one in particular has even won awards from Elle, Conde Nast Traveller, CNN and "The Best International Spa with a View Award" in 2011.  The Canbrian is located in the pristine scenery of the Alps, conveniently located in the Bernese Oberland for all you keen skiers. Alternatively, guests can take in the breathtaking views and indulge in the award-winning restaurant with all the Swiss chocolate you can imagine. 

KATIKIES SANTORINI  - GREECE

Santorini island is only allowed to be painted with colours blue and white in respect to the Greek Flag. That is one of the small aspects of this hotel that creates unparalleled romance and prestigious luxury. Set high on the Caldera Cliffs overlooking the azure colours of the Aegean Sea, you will be blown away by the fabulous views and fresh sea air. With a short 12km ride to Fira Town, holidayers can experience legendary culture and high end boutiques. To keep in tow with the theme, the only option is a  Azure Iluh Clutch Bag by Innu London.
