ASOS New Space Launch

I love lettering at events and it’s even better when it helps charity too 🤗!

Last week ASOS launched their fabulous new space featuring a brand new canteen, 2 coffee bars, a tech bar and loft space.

Not only that but in an effort to continue their sustainability strategy they ditched plastic coffee cups ☕️, plastic snack pots 🧀 and plastic cutlery! 🌿

I lettered lots of Chilly’s bottles and reusables to raise money for the ASOS Foundation and encourage folks to use less plastic 💪. As always I used my favourite 1 Shot enamel to make sure everyone’s bottles could withstand rattling around in a gym bag for yonks.

Thanks for letting me loose on your bottles Team ASOS! 👭👬👫

ASOS Plastics Week Event

ASOS held an entire week of ace events to educate everyone on the harmful impact of one use plastic. They screened A Plastic Ocean, held talks from the guys at Keep Cup and Kings of Indigo, and hosted a visit from the wonky veg superstars at ChicP.

They asked me to personalise their Chilly Bottles and reusables for a donation to the ASOS Foundation. It was so popular we had to add an extra slot!

Thanks for letting me loose on your bottles guys - we raised lots of money spreading the awareness of two terrific causes!

Selfridges Beauty Event
 

I had a super festive start to December lettering up in the Selfridges Manchester store!

There was a live band, champers and lots of shoppers getting their Christmas cards personalised by me in their hugeee beauty hall.

Louie Tilley - Selfridges

We opted for beautiful metallic brush lettering for a bit of Christmas bling; silver on white and copper on kraft brown. It was so busy I even had to give away my little practice runs!

Thanks so much to Kyle for capturing all these lovely pictures and to Selfridges for making me feel so welcome.

The Wedding Gallery Summer Soirée
 

The Wedding Gallery held their Summer Soirée at One Marylebone and asked me to create some giant lettered mirrors to say thank you to all their lovely suppliers...and they really were giant 7ft beasts which meant I was propped on a ladder!

Thanks to Sandra at Divine Day Photography for the lovely snaps!

We were serenaded by the Urban Soul Orchestra and Adrian Garcia + band in sweltering London sunshine!

Tipples came from Bloom Gin, Moët and The Cocktail Service (delicioussssss guys, seriously) and the garden was decorated with splendid sculptures from Bubblegum Balloons.

Sarah Smart Illustration painted all the lovely guests and we danced until we needed pizza from Lucabuca and flipflops.

It was so nice to meet all the other wedding suppliers and hear about why they chose the wedding industry; happy days, smiley people and every single wedding is unique. Here here! A pretty good Wednesday evening I'd say.
