Cocktails at Dusk





























go reborn is in the offing. The space is a truly majestic place - today Edinburgh has been flooded with sun and go reborn HQ was replete with light, glinting off half-put-together furniture, unmade clothes rails and mannequins dotted about the place, sentinels to herald the burgeoning Festival. We've got hold of a monstruously cool cocktail bar which we will use as an entrance piece and we had fun serving fake gin and tonics in the lift on the way up. go reborn Madame Fleur is considering wearing a Cleopatra wig on the opening night whilst dispensing booze - a thrilling promise.

The Twig furniture is looking great - those girls have got kinky minds and their finished pieces are just the kind of stuff go reborn is about - beautifully and professionally finished pieces with depth and intelligence. I can't wait for you all to see it in situ.

Fleur is whirling about with Godiva stuff and the workshop is going to be excellent. If you aren't already familiar with this girl's flair, check it out at Godiva Boutique. The space has just the kind of polish that will show off her one-off pieces at their best.

As the sun sets on a beautiful day up here in Scotland, the sky is immense and red and filled with promise for the go reborn initiative; only five days to go until opening and it is going to be quite some Festival this year.
