Keeping Cool at the Golden Goose Office

admin_GG — Fri, 18 Jul 2014 10:36:00 +0000

Last week we were fortunate enough to receive a special delivery of the very delicious champagne ice POPSicle to our GGPR office in Covent Garden.

With temperatures at an all time high, we have already swapped our coffees for frappuccinos, but mid afternoon we are forever in search of something less milky.

After trying POPS, we have certainly found our refreshment of choice.

Each POP contains 37% alcohol- equivalent to a glass of champagne.

We are also happy to know that POPS are manufactured in the UK using only natural ingredients and at less than 100 calories- it’s guilt free!

The best way to cool down on the hottest day of the year:

Fashion Show Favourites: Golden Goose attends LC:M 2014

The team at Golden Goose were excited to attend this year’s LC:M to see what the fashion forward would be donning this season.

Over the three days of shows, we saw a few key trends emerging;

- Monochrome; anything black or white (not checkerboard)

- Clean lined tailoring; classic styles with a modern twist

- Safari : to camouflage, a colour palette of khaki, bone and sand

There were two events in particular that GGPR wanted to blog about.

The first was that of innovative fashion duo Ada Zanditon and Nik Thakkar who showcased their new collection “Carpe Noctem SS:15″ for their label Ada + Nik at St. Martins Lane Hotel.

Eighteen unique pieces channeling “minimalist luxe aesthetic”. From kilts, lightweight mesh, sheer, metallic, eel skin t-shirts to our favourite; the cuff sleeved calf leather biker jacket. (This jacket even features a secret compartment for storing e-cigarettes).

The soundtrack accompanying the catwalk, with signature tune- “Keep it 100″ by Grandtheft & Keys N Krates, had viewers moving in their seats.

Distinctive fashion, but wearable and all ethically sourced and produced in the UK- we like this a lot.

The after-party was undoubtedly catered for a fashion crowd with collagen shots, e-cigarettes and russian mules chased by vodka colas.

In stark contrast to Ada + Nik, the second event we wanted to blog about was held at 11 Savile Row by iconic British tailors Huntsman. The opening night launched the one month exhibition; ‘Gregory Peck: Style Archive of an Icon’ and showcases bespoke Huntsman suits worn by the Hollywood legend, Gregory Peck throughout his career. There was a star turn out with Anthony Peck, David Gandy, Cecilia Peck, Arpad Busson, Jack Guinness and Guy and Elizabeth Pelly all in attendance.

A mannequin dressed in the dinner jacket Peck wore to collect his Oscar in 1962, another wearing the iconic overcoat seen in ‘The Omen’ and another in a recreation of the frock coat he wore in ‘The Million Pound Note’. Every garment on display in store was personally commissioned by Peck and created by Huntsman. Samsung tablets were mounted onto the mannequins creating ‘talking heads’, where guests could listen to through 1950’s Bakelite telephones attached to each device.

The interactive exhibition entertained attendees as they sipped on Chivas cocktails, feasted on Gressingham duck, Roe deer and Hereford beef canapes while listening to Peck’s favourite jazz tunes, mostly songs of Sinatra and curated by Peck’s son Anthony. As the night progressed, Jack Guinness took to the decks and spun a fun set of 1950’s and 60’s rockabilly and dance.

Guests were delighted to see and hear about Peck’s life and achievements as an actor, a style icon, a humanitarian and as a father. The event was a lovely balance of glamour, elegance and style with ‘Best Dressed’ awarded to the Gregory Peck mannequins!

There was also a gold and shiny ‘Best Actor’ Oscar on display as well as an amazing collection of cars parked outside including an Aston Martin Shooting Break, Bentley Star, Mercedes Sports E-Class and a Range Rover Gun Bus.

A memorable evening celebrating one of Hollywood’s finest and how incredibly special to have had Gregory Peck’s family there to share the experience.

The exhibition is free and will run until the 17th July.

A Rocking Thanksgiving at Honky Tonk

admin_GG — Fri, 29 Nov 2013 23:22:00 +0000

Honky Tonk hosted the biggest and the best Thanksgiving party in London with two rammed restaurants in Clapham and Chelsea selling #RockStarTurkey, a new dish involving a farm-reared bird and a wild and crazy rock and roll kind of roasting.

And before you think we’re being rude, here’s the recipe:

Get a big fat turkey and dunk it in 4 litres of bourbon mixed with water, Malden sea salt and brown sugar.

Marinade the bird in this overnight.

Roast for four hours.

Serve up with bourbon and honey on the rocks.

Thank you to all our friends including 80’s rock star Mark Shaw from Then Jerico who came to feast and give thanks with us.

***We would like to add that the turkey we feasted on was not the turkey in this photo…Bernard the actor turkey has been pardoned and will spend the rest of his days working for Animal Actors, appearing in panto, etc.

An Alibi for those queueing for the new iPhone 5

admin_GG — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 11:27:00 +0000

As if Rupert didn’t have enough on his plate escorting 10 of the hottest women in town about London (job of the week: managing THE ROAR’s media tour of the capital – the cheerleaders for the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team), he found time to visit the devoted masses in the queue for the latest iPhone 5, bringing them chilled cans of Alibi health drink to revitalise them during their epic wait.

With 19 vitamins and minerals in every can, including natural immunity defence ingredient Wellmune Beta Glucan, the queue perked up so much, tweeting pictures and thank yous as they passed the time, that they were soon targeted by even more PR agencies following our lead.

Raring to go with THE ROAR

admin_GG — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 11:23:00 +0000

What a week it’s been at GGPR. We’ve been #LovingLondon with THE ROAR, the cheerleaders for the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team, as they launch their 2014 lingerie calendar and celebrate The Jags’ commitment to playing four home games in London; starting next month when they go head to head with the San Francisco 49ers at Wembley.

With pom poms at the ready, we journeyed with our cheerleaders across the city, taking them from Capital Radio and Choice FM to Radio One, Yahoo and to film a live Daily Mail online piece outside Battersea Power Station. We even held a photoshoot outside Big Ben with the Evening Standard’s Jeremy Selwyn – one of the most viewed and talked about pictures of the day – before heading to the square mile to surprise the lucky staff at Barclays and the Gherkin who were among those who had won surprise visits from THE ROAR as they Cheered Up London.

And did they ever stop? Not for a moment. As soon as the night drew in, it was time to cast off their famous white hotpants and jaguar print tops to don cocktail dresses for London Fashion Week parties, where the girls were interviewed by Fashion TV and papped on every red carpet.

THE ROAR are now back in Florida but it’s just a matter of weeks until they’re back to choose 32 junior ROAR from every London borough to dance with them at the Tailgate party at Wembley Stadium on the 27th of October, followed by their first major game in the capital.

We’re counting down the days until the big game at Wembley.

See you soon ladies

And Go Jags!

slow time is here!

slow time is here

PR people have got to be pretty efficient at meeting deadlines. So what are we doing launching a slow watch?

The idea, created by Chris Noerskau and Corvin Lask, is to bring time keeping back to basics. Forget the seconds, forget the minutes. Just watch the hour hand as it moves across a 24-hour dial, and you’ll begin to enjoy a slower pace of life, where the day has a natural flow.

We’ve all been wearing one and so far, we’re loving it. Who starts meetings at 9.08, or 3.17?

Not us!

Check out our favourite from the new slow watch collection. All priced £190-£230, Swiss-made, with quartz movement, 100m water resistant, stainless steel.

What head turners they are – and already in the Evening Standard trend watch spot!
