Would you like to come to a fashionable drinks reception with us to celebrate London Fashion Week?
We’re giving away 25 pairs of tickets to this party at Hub Culture, a groovy network with a pavilion just off Carnaby Street, on Tuesday night. There’s no pressure to wear haute couture, dress like a hipster or don black tie – but apparently androgyny is the keyword for SS/12. We’ll leave the dressing decisions to you. This should be a relaxed and groovy, stylish affair with DJ James Pople, black and white cocktails and some shots of the hottest looks from the Fashion Week catwalks to inspire you.
To count yourself in, simply email hello@londonist.com with ‘I’ll come to a fashionable drinks reception with you’ in the subject line. The first 25 get on the guestlist.

Re: Free Days Out - post them here!
The Future Laboratory – The smell of sugar is in the air at The Future Laboratory. And chocolate. And something else… is that raspberry?
We’re getting ready for the opening of Sweet Shoppe, an appointment-only experience that will be on-site at The Future Laboratory from 19 to 30 September, during London Design Festival. Visitors to Sweet Shoppe will experience what retail will be like for the consumers of the future – who will have no recollection of life without the internet, will not distinguish between the real and digital worlds, and will seek experiences that seamlessly integrate the online and the offline.
Sweet Shoppe is being created by The Future Laboratory and award-winning retail design agency Campaign, which develops integrated brand experiences through interior, brand and digital design.
If you are lucky enough to book an appointment with the Shoppe-keeper, he will take you on a journey that combines the personalisation, recognition and recommendations of online retailing with the best of real-world retail: tactility, conviviality, intimacy and serendipity.
We’re working with our partners Sign Salad, Holition and A* Food Design to make Sweet Shoppe the only opportunity you’ll have this year to see, smell, touch and taste the retail experience of the future. Sweet.
Visits to Sweet Shoppe at The Future Laboratory, 24 Elder Street, London E1 6BT are by appointment only between 19 and 30 September 2011.
Book your appointment with the Shoppe-keeper by emailing shoppekeeper@thefuturelaboratory.com or calling +44 (0)20 7186 0770.
