Guirado Design x Sanctum Soho Launch.

The wallpaper is purely bespoke, created just for Sanctum, and the collab is perfect – Sanctum are famous for their love of skulls throughout the hotel, and with one of Guirado Design’s most popular pieces of wearable art being their Four Skulls scarf (based on Juan Antonio Guirado’s original painting, Apocalypse (2001-2010)), it’s the ideal partnership.

Edd and I went for catch up drinks before the event, and then strolled down the road to the hotel. Outside were dozens of paparazzi (sadly not for us, ha), and we stepped inside to be faced with various celebrities and fashionistas. We bumped into Joe, Mason, Toni, and Jai’me, and spent some time catching up with them all while admiring the glamorous and oh so rock ‘n’ roll wallpaper and scarves on display.

The party was hosted in collaboration with Patron Tequila, who created delicious Espresso Martini cocktails and Moscow Mules for all of the guests! After a couple of Moscow Mules (ginger is good for colds ya know!) and catching up with people I hadn’t seen for months, Dani then took us upstairs to see the gorgeous Guirado Suite, which was decked in cushions and bedding all flaunting the skull design in various colours and textures.

Then it was back downstairs to soak up the atmosphere, make the most of the delicious canapes, and sip on champagne, while the DJ worked her magic and an actual tattooist gave people real tattoos!

I made my exit at a decent hour as I’m quite ill at the moment (I’ve had an absolutely horrid cold for the past few days and was feeling rather peaky), and left the others to continue the party without me. There’s nothing quite like getting into your warm bed when you’re feeling poorly!It was an awesome event, and it’s an absolutely epic collaboration, so if you’re ever in the area and fancy a peek, have a wander in and take a look – it really is quite something up close and in person (and it’s very instagrammable, that’s for sure!).
