Harvey Nichols Birmingham 10th Birthday

27 October 2011

Harvey Nichols' Birmingham store celebrated its 10th birthday on Thursday 27th October with a lavish circus-themed party, and naturally they invited Aisleyne, who drove up earlier in the day to meet up with her "plus one" girl friend from Leicester.

Other celebs attending included Alexandra Burke, Danielle Lloyd, Layla Manoochehri and Nikki Sanderson. Add into the mix some TOWIE types, a gaggle of footballers, and lots of Midlands media people, fashionistas and glitterati and the result was an AbFab night.

The invitation had said "Dress code: glamorous", a requirement which Aisleyne met with a simple but sophisticated LBD, matching Louboutins and suitably elegant hairstyle and accessories.

The store, in the fashionable Mailbox, had been converted into a two-floor circus extravaganza where the invitation-only crowd were entertained by stilt walkers, fire jugglers, contortionists, a caricaturist, mime artist and many other exciting acts. There were also photobooths and a dressing-up box as well as fairground stalls with special Harvey Nicks "twist". Plus plenty of champagne and lots to eat.

The event attracted lots of media attention, to the delight of the PR-conscious organisers, and of course Aisleyne figured in a lot of the coverage.

The "main event" was followed by an after-party in the Penthouse Suite in the Loft Lounge, from where Aisleyne retired late to her 5-star hotel room (courtesy of Harvey Nichols). Next day she caught up with with some local friends before returning to London.
