By now you should of all heard or read about the MAC x Hello Kitty collaboration and for those of you that follow my Twitter already got a few tweets on who/what I saw, if not I’m bringing the party to you here! Last night was the big global launch party to launch her to the world, it was an amazing party! The “Hello Kitty Commotion!” cocktail soiree celebrated the MAC Hello Kitty color and accessories collection, plus there was also an amazing fashion exhibit of “Hello Kitty Creations” designed exclusively for MAC by 30 internationally renowned designers, to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are inspired by the Hello Kitty collection. MAC asked designers to work within the color palette of the Hello Kitty collection of black, grey, white and pink and last night in New York, MAC unveiled the exclusive designs to the world. Aside from all the beautiful one-offs, there were S&M Kitties everywhere- men in Kitty “heads” with bare tops and black patent leather pants, they stood around the entrance taking photos with guests, handing out Kitty bow cookies and at the end of the night gift bags to guests. I shot a video of the fashion designs but excuse the interruptions as it was super packed, I tried my best! And of course a load of pictures! FUN, loved the event! Of course I was dressed in a black and pink ensemble to pay homage to Hello Kitty!
