Pictures of the Paris launch are over here (London coming soon).

Under the Influence magazine celebrated the launch of our 7th issue: The Thatcher’s Children issue with two parties in two cities: June the 7th at Door Studio Paris and June the 10th at The Hackney Rose in London.

The events began at 19.00 with an exhibition showcasing some of our favorite photos from the issue. With our Paris bars kindly sponsored by GROLSH, SHO CHIKU BAI Sake and The Bottle Shop bar (Paris). Pink 47 London dry Gin provided our bar for the London event with great staff and superb Gin with a stylishly designed bottle!

The guests arrived en masse and we partied hard… Just the way we like it!

A projection of our latest issue ran throughout the evening with music provided by JETBOY in Paris, who churned out some gems from the Thatcher era creating the perfect atmosphere. In London we had a candle lit back room with a constant stream of classic tunes picked and played for us by Phil from Rough Trade East, the soundtrack to the evening was complete with an energetic performance from Rodeo Massacre, the room was packed and buzzing!

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the people who came to celebrate this moment with us, and to everyone who has supported our magazine since it’s conception.

Thanks to GROLSH, PINK 47 GIN, The BOTTLE SHOP bar and SHO CHIKU BAI Sake. Thank you to our interns: Chloe and Dorota who did a superb job tending our bars, and our fashion assistant Joy and photo assistant Blue for running the guest list, taking the party pictures and generally helping us out in any way possible! Thank you to Hugo for attending both events and filming for our party videos, and thanks to all our families and friends who gave us their time and support in many ways to make these events a real success. Finally thank you to DOOR STUDIO Paris and the HACKNEY ROSE London, for providing us with the fantastic venues!

We hope to see you all again at our next party this autumn… stay tuned!
