Where better to gather a stylish London crowd than at a quintessential British pub? This week, NET-A-PORTER and Kallmeyer brought Café Kallmeyer – the New York brand’s pop-up events concept – to one of London’s well-established locals for a long-standing social ritual of pints and elevated pub grub. The occasion? Celebrating the launch of Kallmeyer’s exclusive capsule for NET-A-PORTER, of course.

Pints, piano tunes and fish and chips – a stylish toast to the quintessential London pub
Georgia May Jagger and Jerry Hall put their pint-pulling skills to the test

The what

New York style met British tradition at the historic Audley Public House in London’s stylish Mayfair neighborhood, just a stone’s throw from the iconic Connaught hotel.

Jerry Hall and Georgia May Jagger pulled pints behind the bar; guests sipped craft beers and vodka martinis; and the venue served up pub classics, including fish and chips, beef burgers and Scampi Fries.

A traditional pub piano player kept the crowd entertained throughout the evening, including with an unmissable Beatles sing-along led by Daniella Kallmeyer. Across the room, well-dressed invitees played darts and chatted in snug corners. It was an elevated pub experience, indeed.

Model Saffron Vadher, fashion director Julia Sarr-Jamois and lawyer-turned-style star Lisa Ing Marinelli were also among the impeccably dressed crowd, each wearing Kallmeyer

The wear

Naturally, the dress code called for Kallmeyer’s effortlessly elegant exclusives. Defined by rich velvets, satins and luminous floral jacquards, the capsule felt just as at home among the dark wood-paneled walls and leather banquette seating as it would at the opera or a glamorous holiday party.

Nailing the trend for opulent outerwear, Gemma Chan made the ‘Henri’ coat the focal point of her outfit, styling it with the matching mini skirt and black pumps. Jerry Hall wore the equally elegant ‘Hugo’ duchesse silk-satin design with the ‘Lyle’ tuxedo pants, which are beautifully accented by a festive fringed sash.

High-shine silks and brilliant beading were also spotted during the evening, with Julia Sarr-Jamois arriving in the pleated ‘Rayna’ dress and Rebecca Hall in the floor-sweeping ‘Aya’ blouse – both trimmed with droplet-shaped beads.

Elsewhere, Naomi Ackie, Georgia May Jagger and Daniella Kallmeyer opted for fashion’s favorite texture: velvet. The exclusive ‘Priya’ gown, ‘Tilda’ evening jacket, ‘Lior’ wide-leg pants and ‘Sina’ blouse are all crafted from this plush pile fabric – a perfect choice for an after-hours event.
