Liberty in Fashion

If you’ve been inspired by London Fashion week or are studying fashion then head to the Fashion & Textile Museum as ‘Liberty in Fashion’ kicks off on 9th October to celebrate Liberty’s 140th anniversary. There will be over 150 garments, textiles and objects showing Liberty’s impact on British fashion. It’s only £6 entry for students and runs to the end of February 2016.

 

We are the Weirdo’s, Mister @ The Book Club

Party this Halloween at the Book Club on Saturday 31st October and watch a showing of the cult classic ‘The Craft’ followed by a themed club night. Return to the 90’s sleepovers of your teens and think goth-rock, love potions and Neve Campbell.

A free screening of the 1996 classic will be shown at 6 pm, then as the witching hour crawls closer, a club night will kick in downstairs with sounds from the ’90s and ’00s. There will also be make-up artists on hand with lashings of kohl eyeliner and lipstick, and a photo booth stationed for spooky snaps throughout the night.

The film is from 6 pm – 8 pm (free but limited capacity – entry guaranteed for advance ticket holders only) / Club night 8 pm – 3 am and £5 in advance or £5/£7/£9 on the door.

 

Fake Blood’s Halloween Party @ The Nest

Friday 30th October sees Fake Blood hosting a Halloween party at The Nest and you can certainly expect a spooktacular night. Along with creepy cocktails, jack-o-lanterns and creatures of the night, grab your killer costumes and expect the unexpected. Also playing on the night will be rising star Kiwi and London crew NVWLS.

 

Perfect Havoc Disco @ The Hoxton Basement

After debuting at Shapes in Hackney Wick earlier this year, Perfect Havoc Disco hits London again for a Halloween Weekender special bubbling with twisted house and trippy disco. Oliver Nelson, Tobtok and Cesare will be spinning the tunes.
