After last week’s tequila fuelled, 80s inspired debauchery, we’re craving a little tlc. We know you’ll have your fash week parties sorted so we’re giving you some low-key recommendations to balance out the hedonism. Watch a golden oldie at the Troxy, sip champagne at J Sheekey and get the full hammam treatment at The Spa. And if, like us, you’ll be pounding the LFW pavement this weekend: best of luck and see you out there! This Weekend's Picks • FRI Meursault • SAT Cover to Catwalk • SUN The Spa Tonight CanapÉ Safari at The Sanderson Feel like a luxe freebie? Then head down to the Sanderson tonight for the Innerplace Canapé Safari.

FRIDAY SHOP: Mary Katrantzou for Topshop DRINK: Meursault After the New Gen for Topshop line, it comes as no surprise that the collective’s darling Mary Katrantzou is teaming up with the retail behemoth for her own 10-piece capsule collection. The pieces channel the aesthetics of the main line: bright, busy prints, peplum skirts and floral trousers. Beware of the ensuing commotion. Banoffee pie, praline parfait, lemon verbena cheesecake. Sound good? Then head to South Ken stalwart l’etranger’s new little sister - a bar and dining room with a jaw-dropping array of 40 desserts, macaroons and ice creams. Of course there’s a full menu with everything from burgers to sashimi, but it’s the back of the menu that’s got us salivating. Sip champagne, and indulge your sweet tooth under the intricate Belle Époque inspired LED ceiling.
