Fashion Gilded Glitterati Gala


More than half a millennia ago the Aztec civilization payed homage to their divine deity the sun god with the most coveted precious metal on earth. This holiday party season , it seems the fashion fave crowd coined the same sacrificial focus- Gold !!!

Jeff Rustia's Holiday party, now in its second year of exclusivity, entertained its limited guest list to a night of platinum pleasures. The bubbly ran freely from gilded bottles of gold, and the menu of gold inspired morsles delivered, prooving that the best food always tastes as good as it looks.

Fashion heavy hitters: Anita Clarke, Gail McInnes, Susie Love, Sonja Andrick and DJ Jeff Kirkwood were all in attendance flaunting the fall seasons hottest and hardest-to-pull-off trends. 

The glamor of gold, of fur and of lace, custom couture and a hand painted face- it truly was a night of incredible company, fashion, and friends. The FF Champagne boys hosted, entertaining with an hilarious performance, choreographed by this years Black Essence award recipient for choreographer of the year; FF Champagne boy Paul Charbonneau.


A ticket to the hottest holiday fete dosn't come easy. And dressing for a FF holiday theme party can be as stressful as planning the party itself, so here's a couple of tips to stay on track. For the fashion first timer, don't try to be too bold. Play it safe taking the theme of the night not so seriously. Using a neutral base color ( black, grey, white etc.) plan the predominance of your outfit accessorizing with the theme, allow for one major focus that captures the intention of what ever your theme may be.

As the snow fell outside the party roared on inside Rustia's downtown luxe apartment with glasses of tiny bubbles clinking into the night.  For all in attendance, it certainly was the party of the holiday season.
