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.

OOh so hope I get a place - really excited now!

Dear Stella if you are reading this :

Can your next fashion project be stuff for women who fall between the tatty young stuff in the high street and the horribly expensive middle-aged stuff in the dept stores? ie me.

And can it not include any of the following : cap sleeves, no sleeves, empire lines, tops that stop at your widest point (hips), low rise trousers.

Ta.

Well I am free that day and will take beautiful DD

AnnieOneForTennis · 23/10/2009 12:47

I can come but not bringing the DCs. Is that allowed?

satansauruswrecks · 23/10/2009 13:18

Is this a MN exclusive? Will there be gangs of Netmums and Bountyhuns flapping around in Winnie the Pooh fleeces, crop trousers and crocs??

annoyingdevil · 23/10/2009 13:56

oooh a tea party, would Stella mind if we brought bacon sarnies?

Harimosbroomstick · 23/10/2009 14:17

TrickOrTreatersDragOnTheNoose · 23/10/2009 18:46

If I'm there I'll be the glamorous stick thin supermodel stressed out fishwife hollering after a small girl, begging her to stop shoplifting.

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 23/10/2009 18:50

I'll be the short fat woman, with 2 beutiful girls one who will be hiding behind me, while i run around after the other one who looks like shes had a fight with curly tongs

Harimosbroomstick · 23/10/2009 19:09

Meglet · 25/10/2009 22:13
