GLASS Celebrates its 18th Anniversary on the opening night of London Fashion Week at CÉ LA VI London with Esprit De Nuit launch

TO MARK GLASS Magazine’s 18th anniversary and the opening of London Fashion Week, we hosted an intimate celebration at CÉ LA VI London to introduce Esprit De Nuit as its new Thursday residency in Paddington. The evening brought together our extended GLASS family across fashion, music, art and media to celebrate not only the start of the season but a defining milestone for the title: the release of our 65th issue and Imogen Clark’s appointment as Editor-in-Chief.

Opening London Fashion Week has always been deeply personal for us. It is the moment our global network converges in London, and the energy of the city feels most alive. This year felt especially meaningful as we aligned that tradition with Esprit De Nuit, a concept rooted in international nightlife culture and sound. Against CÉ LA VI London’s skyline backdrop, guests moved from golden-hour drinks into a layered late-night programme that reflected the spirit of the residency and the GLASS community.

A special live performance by Jolie Papillion formed a centrepiece of the night, bringing cinematic soul and presence to the room, while Ross Quinn took to the decks as headliner of the evening. His atmospheric set carried us from early evening into after-hours, with Hoxton Gin cocktails flowing throughout the celebration.

Unveiling Esprit De Nuit during London Fashion Week allowed us to spotlight a new chapter in London nightlife while honouring our own. The evening was both a launch and a milestone moment for GLASS Magazine, celebrating 18 years of the title, the arrival of our 65th issue, and the beginning of a new editorship, all shared with our community high above the city at CÉ LA VI London.
