JUMEIRAH CARLTON TOWER CELEBRATES LONDON FASHION WEEK WITH TIMELESS TRIBUTE TO DAME MARY QUANT

Alright, fashion fans and London lovers, this one’s for you! To celebrate London Fashion Week, the Jumeirah Carlton Tower is taking us straight back to the Swinging Sixties. From 3–28 February, the hotel’s lobby will be transformed into a retro-chic paradise, featuring an actual vintage Mary Quant dress on display. Yep, we’re talking about the designer who basically invented the miniskirt and defined the 60s vibe we all know and love.

If that’s not enough to tempt you, here’s the backstory: Mary Quant was a regular at the Carlton Tower back in the day, using it as her go-to spot for photoshoots, press events, and launches. So, this isn’t just a display—it’s a full-circle moment, paying homage to an era where fashion, fun, and freedom ruled London.

The Main Attraction
Let’s talk about the dress. It’s not just any dress—it’s a bold, playful piece from the 60s that screams “Swinging London.” Think pop art vibes, mini hemlines, and that carefree spirit we’re all obsessed with. It’s a true gem for anyone who loves vintage fashion or just wants to bask in some serious style history.

💐 Flower Power Vibes
But wait, there’s more! The lobby isn’t stopping at the dress. They’ve teamed up with the legendary Moyses Stevens to create a floral installation that matches the dress’s colour palette and playful patterns. It’s like stepping into a 60s dream—perfect for your Instagram grid.

🍰 Dessert, Darling?
Got a sweet tooth? The hotel’s chefs have whipped up a limited-edition dessert (£18) inspired by the dress. Picture this: almond sponge, exotic fruit cream, and white chocolate flowers in purple and orange. It’s almost too pretty to eat (but you’ll definitely want to).

🍸 Cheers to the Sixties
For the cocktail lovers, La Maison Ani is serving up The Modette—a bespoke drink created by Bar Manager Matteo Corsalini. It’s a purple-and-orange masterpiece made with Champagne, gin, Crème De Violette, and more. At £18 a pop, it’s the perfect way to toast to the golden age of British fashion.

📅 When & Where?

So, whether you’re a die-hard Mary Quant fan, a 60s fashion enthusiast, or just someone who loves a good cocktail, make sure to swing by. Trust us, this is one stylish trip down memory lane you won’t want to miss! ✌️
