An evening of decadent revelry it was last night at the Rose Club to celebrate our ‘Guys & Dolls’ issue 16 of Schön! Magazine, and thank you to all our lovely guests who attended making the night one to remember.

It was only the best for our guests last night as they were entertained by not one, but two performances including the musical delights of the group Picture Book who created their own unique style of electronic dance music using a saxophone, bongos and a DJ; as well as devilish humour and fabulous music styling provided by the breathtaking DJ Jonbenet Blonde.

You could feel the creativity flowing in the luxurious venue as esteemed guests from the realms of media, marketing, advertising and press were all brought under one roof to celebrate our event. There was never a dull moment as everyone indulged in a night of opulent conversation creating a infectious atmosphere throughout the entire evening of the gorgeous event.

Our guests were provided with delectable cocktails concocted from CÎROC® Ultra-Premium, one of the world’s finest vodkas as they mingled and perused through issues of the magazine that adorned the tables throughout the venue.

Since nothing less than exceptional will do for our wonderful friends who attended, they were provided with a number of treats to tantalise their creative palate including delectable chocolates from Hotel Chocolat, exquisite organic tea from Løv Organic, fabulous hair products from Percy & Reed Hair and a winning formula from Dr. Lipp as they left the celebration.

With the official event ending at 10 pm, guests continued to engage in ravishing conversation until late into the evening at The Rose Club making for a successful and memorable night.

For those of you who were unable to make it we wish you could have attended; and for those of you who were there, we would like to send you our sincerest thanks for making the night spectacular.

We would like to extend a kind thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors who made this event possible.

The stunningly beautiful Olivia Palermo has done a lot with her young life in such a short time span. She has delved deep into the four corners of the fashion world and is making a name for herself in the fashion industry.

You name it, Palermo has most likely done it; and done it with style. She has been a contributing editor for Vogue UK and Elle magazine, a model, a stylist, an actress, a judge on major TV programmes and a prominent philanthropist.

With the recent launch of her fashion, lifestyle and travel blog, Palermo now has one more thing to add her fashion résumé…Style Icon.

You have been a contributing editor for Vogue UK and Elle magazine and recently launched your own blog. How would you describe the person you aim to reach with the content of your blog?

I hope that anyone who goes on my blog can take away a little something from it. It is a fashion site with a lifestyle element to it. My team and I try to highlight fashion, art and museum stories that interest me and it is something I would like to share with readers.

You are a model, a stylist, a blogger, a judge on TV programmes, an actress and a committed charity figure. What are you most passionate about and why?

I have a great passion for everything I do. My blog is very dear to me; it gives readers a chance to see what I like in today’s fashion.

What would you say is most challenging about being in the public eye and followed by paparazzi?

I am not a negative person and I do not look at things as a burden. It is a part of the business I am in, and I am fortunate that I do have privacy in my life. At the end of the day my fans put the biggest smile on my face and remind me how lucky I am.

Who do you look up to? Could you name an artist or a person who influences your work ethos?

My inspirations come from everywhere and everyday; whether it’s architecture, films, my travels and so forth. I have always had structure in my life and that rolls over into my work ethic. I have to give my parents credit for keeping a structured lifestyle during my childhood.

You have been a guest judge on Britain’s Next Top Model as well as Project Runaway and a guest editor at Pipelime.com. What is fashionable and trendy for you?

I love seeing stylish girls on the streets of London, Tokyo, Paris, New York, or wherever I may be; they are my inspiration. I admire the working girl that shows an interest in fashion and has innate style. Trends are always relevant. They are great to balance into everyday style, but it is important to have a personal style before anything!

What would you say is the most creative thing you have done lately?

I loved designing a shoe for Stuart Weitzman. I have always been a big supporter of his 50/50 boots and when he approached me to design and help raise money for a charity dear to him; I was pleased to be able to contribute. I have always tried to give back in some way, and that is something that everyone can do as well.

Is there another field or skill you would like to acquire/explore?

Styling, I have a fantastic time with it. There are such talented designers out there, for example: Matthew Williamson, Erdem and Christopher Bailey. It makes it more fun having a chance to do more creative styling using their designs.

What can we expect from you next?

Modelling. I shoot with many talented photographers, and shoot in fantastic locations around the world.
