9/10 Club Launches in Opium
Tuesday 19th March saw the launch of Upper Street’s exclusive 9/10 Club just for women with size 9 and size 10 feet at the fabulous new bar, Opium in Soho.
Hosted by top fashion stylist Nicole Smallwood (former fashion editor at Marie Claire), guests were treated to an evening of cocktails, dim sum and styling tips and also were fitted with Upper Street sample shoes, so they can now design the perfect shoes for them.
The evening was a fantastic success and for those who missed it, here are all the highlights – and don’t worry we’ll be hosting another 9/10 Club event in the near future.
