Coach Celebrates Its 80th Anniversary

In celebration of its 80th anniversary, Coach threw a birthday party like no other at an artist’s private residence in East London.

Olly Alexander emerged from a giant cake for a surprise performance of Desire, Starstruck, King, and finally Happy Birthday. Bookending his performance were DJ sets by Zezi Ifore and Lou Hayter, which provided a disco backing track to an impromptu trapeze show, as well as the dinner from a banquet of food by Bistroteque.

Special thanks to Coach for the fun, creative director Simon Costin for his vision. Carolina Mazzolari for letting us into your spectacular house, Jack Bryant and team for bringing the night to life, David Waddington and Jenny Welsh at Bistrotheque, and Zezi and Lou for the music.
