Soooo the guest list queue was full of gnomes, which gave the SUPERSUPER and Firetrap staff many attacks of the giggles - always a good start for a London fashion week party! Once you'd fought your way through the bustling queues synonymous with SUPERSUPERs legendary parties inside was postively heaving with cool kids, fashionistas and slebs all enjoying the free drinks and getting busy on the dancefloor to electro rapper Niyi's fantastic early 90s mash up partytime DJ set. Soon enough there was live music from SUPERSUPER's first lady Namalee whose cartoon powerpop got things going and US electro popstar Lady Gaga who was booked for an exclusive set at the SUPERSUPER/Firetrap London fashion week party - her first one in London!! She is currently no 1 in 5 countries around the world so needless to say everyone was very excited to see her rocking out with her full entourage, amazing video sunglasses and spectacular flashing pimp cane!! As the party continued deep into the night the dancefloor was pounded to a pulp by enthsisastic hi-tops and Balenciaga heels simultaneously! FHMs Style director Steve Beale reckons it was the best party of fashion week as did Laura Lites, a 19 year old fashion designer which just goes to show the range of SUPERSUPER's funtime fashion all inclusive appeal!
If your gnomes not down your not coming in!!!
SUPERSUPER enlisted the crafty hooves of 6 of Londons most talented graffitti kids and artists - Mysterious Al/PMH/Pure Evil/Goldtooth/SuperSteve/Nicky Carvell and ended up with a dazzling selection of restyled and highly desirable ltd ed Firetrap gnomes..Dripping in shiny neon sprays/ designer scrawls and now complete with a wardrobe of trinkets and bandanas we knew the gnomes were gonna cause a stir with tonights revellers keen to get their mitts on one of 30 one offs. What we didnt know that our gnome planters would actually be physically attacked for the lil fellas!!! By 1.15pm in Soho square where the gnomes had been planted our girl Flick let the punters loose and all hell broke out - it was like an Olympic relay/ wrestling match for Shoreditch gardners!! Our man Danszor was actually rugby tackled to the ground before he could hide the ceramic dudes in time. Luc even got a phone call from some SUPERSUPER obsessive in the US offering payment for us to save a gnome for him! Needless to say the Firetrap gnome plantation rally was a rip roaring SUPERSUPER success : )
