He (Prince Cassius) was attending the Grand Opening of an Austin Reed Store in London. The press were not only snapping photos of celebrity look-a-likes. They were enjoying what Nick Hollingworthy the CEO had to say about the brand when he took the microphone to speak. A film of the brands history was shown and some of the brands celebrity clients made the history of the brand seem nostalgic to brand loyals. The theme was everything British according to one source who described it as an event that included pinky lifting cocktails. Go figure right? Maybe there were a few raised brows in the crowd, but that didn't stop the fun. There was live entertainment to loosen the crowd, but we will tell you about the performers in the days to come. For now let me drop a name that you may know. Dylan Jones (Editor of GQ) was in attendance, and the party didn't stop. Here is the CEO with mic in had and also a shot of the store.
