OOH la la [PART 2]

The ‘beyond premium’ Frenchmen party series kicked off 2016 with their annual opener Climax at The Fairways, Caymanas Golf Course. Johnnie Walker’s Striding Man keeping close and in step with the transient – though, some promising – desires of New Year’s Day devotees and converts, who indulged in two quick-fire pastimes: browsing the food station village or holding court on the dance floor centrepiece. Then there were the fireworks, that though expected, always manage to deliver the much-needed emotional resonance as dancing feet jigged to a soundtrack cosigned by a popular line-up of mainstream deejays. SO out to click reset on the event circuit where, with the visual reinterpretation that follows, led to the immortalising of those whose personal brands were aligned with the expectations of this you-fancy-huh event…
