Are you a Loerie Fash Ho?
by Louise Marsland (@louise_marsland) One of the things about the creative industry is the fact that if you say ‘black tie’ on an invitation, the only people who will pitch in full evening dress are the clients.
Everyone else will try out do each other in subverting the dress code and making a creative fashion statement.
People attend Loeries for the work, the awards, the parties and also to be seen rocking a statement outfit or being as ‘anti-establishment’ as possible by going against the grain.

In protest, one top creative, can’t remember who, went shirtless the first night, only wearing trousers and shoes and socks, and the next night pitched in his underpants with a shirt, tie and jacket on.

For a while now, though, the public seems to have been less enamoured with the magazine as seen in its declining circulation in recent years.
