Hyde Park High Tea

Last week I attended a fabulous high tea with other fashion & beauty bloggers at Hyde Park Corner for DAY BIRGER ET MIKKELSEN and Bvlgari. DAY BIRGER ET MIKKELSEN, a Danish brand for women founded by Keld Mikkelsen, is a luxurious mix of modern classics, embellished details, exquisite craftsmanship and inventive elements. Here you will find day wear essentials as well as sensational evening wear – with a contemporary take on everyday couture in luscious fabrics like leather and sultry smooth silk. The best way I can describe the aesthetic is bold, feminine and minimal but so interesting and exciting. These are definitely clothes that I would wear.  As Keld describes it, “DAY BIRGER ET MIKKELSEN is a fusion between near and far. Local and global. The sophistication of a jet setter mixed with the free spirit of a modern gypsy.”

DAY BIRGER ET MIKKELSEN has three lines: DAY WOMEN Main Line, 2ND DAY and DAY HOME. The DAY WOMEN Main Line is a modern, classic, ethnic look full of intriguing contrasts, in a sexy, stylish expression. From exotic influences, vintage styles, tailoring inspired by men’s styling to inventive silhouettes. 2ND DAY has an even more distinct and independent style code and is the go-to brand for denim, leather and jersey. DAY HOME is the interior and lifestyle collection, a line of warm and inviting objects to adorn your home. The line is inspired by travels to Morocco, India, Africa, China, Indonesia and the Caribbean. Styled with a minimalistic, Scandinavian touch, DAY HOME is daily couture for your home.

The afternoon was so much fun, with lots of bubbles and giggles and of course fine fashion and fragrance. I even won a divine prize from Sorbet full of pamper goodies! If your interest has been piqued by DAY BIRGER ET MIKKELSEN, head on over to Hyde Park Corner for a fabulous browsing session. In terms of pricing, I would say that you’re looking at around R2000 and up for dresses and denims.
