Hello, fashionistas.

Stella McCartney and Gap would like to invite 50 Mumsnetters (with or without their children) to attend the Stella McCartney for Gap launch on Monday 2nd November between 5.30pm and 7pm at the Gap Brompton Road store, Knightsbridge, London.

Here's what the guys at Gap say: "As you may know, Gap will be debuting the first ever collection of Stella McCartney for GapKids and babyGap. Launching in stores on 3rd November 2009, Stella McCartney has created a collection for boys and girls from 0-6 months to 12 years. The collection features her signature touches ? a soft colour palette, familiar silhouettes and her unique mix of unexpected pieces, creating looks that stay true to Stella?s unique vision, reinterpreted with GapKids? playful, child-like charm, keeping fun and practicality at the forefront of the design intent."

Stella herself has specifically suggested that Mumsnet members are invited to the preview event, as she is a fan of the site!

Guests will enjoy a tea party and children will be able to take part in a range of craft activities incorporating motifs from the campaign and will also receive a branded gift bag and balloon at the end of the event.

There is disabled access to the store. Baby changing facilities will be available.

If you'd like to come, please fill in this form.

Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. So, if you haven't heard by 1 November, we're sorry but you haven't been selected.

Look forward to seeing you all there. I will be the saddo who has brought her mum

Hope everyone who is ill/has sick DC recover soon

FritesMenthe · 02/11/2009 13:23

Right, I have to finish work/do school run, so will pick up messages at 3.30pm.

Horton · 02/11/2009 13:21

I have a cold now and wish I hadn't told DD we were going as she is mad keen to get to the party and I am flipping knackered and sniffly. So I don't think we will stay long. I will also be the scruffiest person there as I officially Cannot Be Arsed today.

FritesMenthe · 02/11/2009 12:59

OK, mine is up for grabs, first person to email me on foxtrot2007 at tiscali dot co dot uk can have it.

ImSoNotTelling · 02/11/2009 12:56

Oh lord now I can bring my extended family!

Not really, um, lisad i will use yours, so frites yours is still free.

Thank you both so so much

Will deffo come and tell all. We are going to leave at 3 so as to look at shops first, I have managed to wash DD1 hair so all is OK so far...

V nervous though!

Thank you all kind and lovely MNers, my mum friend will be over the moon. She is well into her fashion, always knows about designers etc but never been to anything like this in her life, she will love it and won't need to loiter outside!

FritesMenthe · 02/11/2009 12:47

I have NEVER been to anything like this and I am pooing my pants a little nervous. My hair looks mad and I'm panicing about accessories. Still, it makes a change for that to be the worst thing I have to worry about and I'm excited! DD1 is 9 and looks good in a bin bag and will be wearing leggings knee length suede boots and a rock chic top (probably)

Thanks MS Biscuits!

Niknak21 · 02/11/2009 07:35

To all who are going, enjoy

posieparker · 02/11/2009 07:34

Please.

posieparker · 02/11/2009 07:34

Can I have yours for DH, 4 dcs in London alone is far too scary!

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 02/11/2009 07:30

I would have loved to go (mainly to meet other MNetterss) but the practicalities of the situation (mainly dragging DS up to London during his suppertime/bath/bedtime) have got the better of my desire to schmooze at GAP. If anyone wants my invite let me know and I will forward to them.

posieparker · 02/11/2009 07:26

Hey, I'm wearing the only thing that fits following a huge weight gain in pg that I seem to lose by the time the baby is 18 months...dc4 is one tomorrow!!!

I am very nervous!

SkivingViking · 02/11/2009 07:03

I'm getting very nervous!

I'll be wearing a black skirt with cream embroidered flowers on the hem, black v-neck top, black tights and black shoes.

Haven't entirely decided on the dc's yet - although I can say that dd (3) will be wearing pretty, black patent party shoes with a splash of fluorescent orange paint on

deepdarkwood · 01/11/2009 22:46

Agree - lack of dress code is worrying for those of us who don't go to fashion events ever on a regular basis.

No idea what dd is going to wear - she tends to refuse my suggestion style herself anyway, so is more than likely to turn up in a jeans & fairy wings combo ...

NormaBatesFeltcher · 01/11/2009 22:36

I am getting less cool about the whole thing as time goes on.

I have no idea what the dress code is

Kids will probably look ok

ImSoNotTelling · 01/11/2009 20:15

Anyone else getting nervous?

Where are all the other people going - there's supposed to be 50 of us - is everyone else just really cool about the whole thing?

Wish i could bring someone

Ambiguous sounds fine posie, mine was a definite no

posieparker · 01/11/2009 18:49

I will be the 5'1" bird with, hopefully, a 6' DH and 4 dcs. I am just going to wear a black polo neck tee with grey woolen trousers, baby in gap grey, boys in whatever makes it through a day in London clean and dd1 in some clothes I designed myself, including her beautiful winter coat with delightful buttons that keep popping out.... always a good look.

They mailed me and said something ambiguous about DH so I'm taking him.

NormaBatesFeltcher · 01/11/2009 17:47

Oh god, what to wear.

Please please please tell me what you are all wearing?

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 01/11/2009 12:55

I cant go!!! My kids arent well and Im feeling pretty crap myself

do i email the lady or does someone else want me place? It says bring print out of invite so I guess i could forward to someone with my RL name (if you promise not to tell)

deepdarkwood · 01/11/2009 10:53

Right, right what's everyone wearing then?
Am thinking black jersey waterfall dress (Kew), with patent shoes. And classy accessories.
Note to self: find classy accessories.

Ds wants to wear his corduroy jacket (which was originally my little brothers ... 35 years ago...) - vintage chic or bonfire guy??

Please can we have a mn handshake

twelveyeargap · 01/11/2009 10:21

My children are full of snot and cranky. I don't think I'll go. Will tell MN/ GAP. Presume there's a wait list?
