Marking a dual milestone of creative excellence and culinary innovation, King + Lois joined hands with Ropewalk, Galle for the vibrant celebration, “Fashion & Friends.”
To celebrate the creative force behind Lois London and King + Lois fashion brands, Radhika Perera Hernandez’s birthday, Ropewalk as well King + Lois, debuted new creations of their expertise.
Located within the 300-year-old historic Galle Fort, Ropewalks launched their ‘Arrack Sour’, a true testament to their prowess as Sri Lanka’s first arrack-speciality bar alongside the launch of King + Lois’s latest capsule collection, “Ying & Yang: The story of balance.”
Every esteemed guest was treated to a bespoke outfit designed by King + Lois, reflecting the brand’s avant-garde style and the essence of the event. Nestled within the historic Galle Fort Hotel, Ropewalk’s bar introduced attendees to a reimagined experience of arrack, a traditional Sri Lankan spirit, through innovative cocktails and contemporary cuisine.
The collaboration between Ropewalk and King + Lois symbolises a significant moment as both entities converge to redefine Sri Lankan heritage through fashion and mixology. This partnership underscores Ropewalk’s commitment to showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of Sri Lanka through innovative culinary experiences.
Radhika Perera Hernandez, Founder and Creative Director of Lois London & King + Lois, expressed her delight at the event’s success, stating, “Our collaboration with Ropewalk at the iconic Galle Fort Hotel was truly exceptional. It seamlessly integrated fashion, history, and local culinary delights, encapsulating the essence of King + Lois’s ethos. I extend my sincere gratitude to Galle Fort Hotel and look forward to future endeavours with Ropewalk.”
Amrit Rajaratnam, Founder and Managing Director of Maitland & Knox Heritage Hotels, shared his enthusiasm, remarking, “I couldn’t be more thrilled about the debut of our brand-new range of arrack sour at Ropewalk, the Home of Arrack Sour. We’re redefining the arrack experience with bold flavours and unique twists. Equally exciting is having King + Lois here at Galle Fort Hotel for their latest launch.
