  • introduction

    The Apartment returned to the Covent Garden area to host its 5th season of the London Fashion Week Edition. For the week we

    partnered with the Morgans Hotel Group to transform the St Martins Lane penthouse into the ultimate blogger destination with over 50 of the UK and International Social influencers attending throughout the

    week. We worked with over 20 brands to create a memorable, fun and engaging environment.

    This season saw us develop our social strategy to align more so with our

    future plans. As well as building key brand & blogger relationships within the physical apartment space, we also managed projects outside of the LFW Apartment, with an array of brands covering the beauty,

    technology and lifestyle industries. Do get in touch for more details on those partnerships.

    For the week we produced a behind the scenes of The Apartment at

    LFW in association with LG. The documentary is split into three parts. The last two are part of the LG sponsorship. The videos are all live on Grazia Daily, as well as their Youtube and ours Apartment TV. Links

  • Case studies Blow Ltd were at The Apartment once again this season. Their fast

    beauty team had hair, make up and nail needs covered and were an

    essential to every social influencers fashion week. They received a lot of

    great coverage from our social influencers and were loved by all

    including, Tamara from The Glam and Glitter, Briony from A Girl, A Style and Zoe from Zoe London.

    Hyundai was our car sponsor for this season, providing us with two The Apartment branded Santa Fes to

    transport the bloggers between our space at St Martins Lane and the shows. They were loved & appreciated by our social

    influencers fashion week with top bloggers tweeting about the vehicles and their journeys to and from The Apartment.

    Bloggers who used the cars included Fe from Fe Sena, Patricia from Patricia Bright

    and Shini from Park and Cube. Reiss was both an event partner and

    product sponsor this season. They were in our fashion wardrobe but also Reiss hosted

    a pre LFW event with us at their regent street store. During the evening, the brand

    gifted our top bloggers with key AW14 pieces that would be integrated into their SS15 Fashion Week looks and LFW outfit

    posts. Bloggers who attended include Sandra from 5 inch and up, Shini from Park and Cube, Shirley from Shirleys

    Wardrobe and Doina from The Golden Diamonds.

  • Bowers & Wilkins provided The Apartment with a range of top of the market headphones for bloggers to

    trial and tweet about during the week. Blogging in real time is critical to a

    majority of the Apartment attendees and the headphones enabled them to

    do this by blocking out all the external noise within our space to really focus on their work. Bloggers who used the

    headphones included Patricia from Patricia Bright, Ella from Cocos Tea Party and Kit from Style Slicker.

    GBK had all lunchtime needs covered over LFW. This season the lunchtime

    structure changed slightly with us going to the food rather than it coming to us. Each day the Covent Garden restaurant

    would make the food based on our orders from the fashion led menu, with us heading down there after to eat and tweet about it. Available in both their

    Soho and Covent Garden restaurants was our Apartment Burger which we

    produced with their leading chef prior to LFW.

    Aspinal collaborated with us this season to produce the best Apartment

    invite packs to date. In association with Aspinal we sent 50 of our core bloggers, Apartment branded travel

    wallets for them to use throughout the week as invite holders. The activity

    proved hugely popular with bloggers including Ella from Cocos Tea Party,

    Natasha from Girl in the Lens and Ree from Really Ree instagramming and

    tweeting about the wallets.

  • J2O were our official drinks sponsor this season; providing us with a range of flavours for the bloggers to enjoy throughout the week. The

    brand were also our official bath tub filler this LFW with bloggers including Tamara from The Glam and Glitter, Sarah from Framboise

    Fashion and Noor from Queen of Jet Lags taking selfies whilst surrounded by J2O bottles.
