We're going to be hot-footing it to the Rivoli Ballroom this Saturday 26th September for the Grand Vintage Ball & Vintage Attire Pageant.
The beautifully preserved Rivoli Ballroom, hidden away in leafy Brockley SE4, is one of our favourite secret London venues and is right up there on our top photoshoot locations list. And the idea of a vintage inspired evening complete with costume contests and pin-up makeovers, courtesy of Nina's Hair Parlour is just too good to resist.
The promoters have promised that the first ever Grand Vintage Ball will be a night of 'glam music and mindboggling feats of derring-do and decadence, showcasing the real sartorial creativity and design London has to offer'.
'It's the perfect opportunity for the Retrorati and the Sartorial Intelligentsia to don their best vintage and retro outfits and enter the ultimate Vintage Attire Pageant, where they can be crowned Best In Show.'
Contest categories include:
Best outfits from the 20’s to the 80’s
Dictators wife
Retrosexual
Best afro
Best English Gentleman
Best moustache
There will be live performances and a host of kooky surprises and fashion darling Julian Smith will be manning the decks, playing anything from Jive and Rock ‘n’ Roll to 'Patriotic English' and '90’s nonsense'.
The Grand Vintage Ball & Vintage Attire Pageant takes place on Saturday 26 September 2009 at the Rivoli Ballroom, Brockley, London SE4 2BY
Doors: 8pm -1am. Tickets: £14.99 plus booking fee from www.ticketweb.co.uk
