FALL FASHION WEEKS
swanky after-show cocktail haute spots
01
New York Fashion Week Sept 11-16
TEMPLE BAR legendary downtown spot with dim lighting, velvet booths and clientele that's the who's-who of the fashion world - is known for its elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere and go-to for NYFW afterparties and model sightings. This iconic NoHo cocktail haven, shuttered for four years, has come back swinging with tables inset with leather, an Andy Warhol disco ball and an enigmatic mural by artist Kiki Kogelnik (bar’s chameleon logo) where Bombay Sapphire martinis and fine Champagne are favoured.
02
London Fashion Week Sept 18-22
FLUTE the endlessly stylish bar known for its skyline views, wrap-around terrace and maximalist interiors (mirrored ceilings and animal-print upholstery) is located inside London’s hottest hotel - the Broadwick Soho. This flamboyant venue is the Scene & Seen for celebrities with a cocktail list that is suitably chic, inspired by iconic films of Soho like Night and the City - vodka, lemongrass, pink grapefruit & raspberry.

Milan Fashion Week Sept 23-29
BAR BASSO a Milanese institution and the birthplace of the Negroni Sbagliato - where designers, models and editors wind down after long days of shows. The retro interiors and signature oversized glasses make it a quintessential Fashion Week pit stop.
04
ROOFTOP NATIONAL the small but magnificent rooftop bar of Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers is a hot spot that every fashion enthusiast knows. Located right in the Marais district, the place transforms itself into a hive of celebrities and influencers during Paris Fashion Week. You can also grab a drink at its chic botanical cocktail bar, then catch the view from the rooftop to soak in the charms of the fashion metropolis.
