Her Hustle: An Ode to Female Friendships

Forget boyfriends and partners. It’s female friendships that are the greatest romance of most women’s lives, at least according to ‘Fleabag’ creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge. But at this time of year, it’s all too clear how much society prioritises romantic relationships, which is why female-first production company Her Hustle are throwing a Valentine’s Day party in celebration of female friendship. They’ll be inviting a bunch of brilliant women to share a love letter to a female friend, and there’ll also be recitations of beautiful letters exchanged between historical female figures, which you could argue are a criminally under-recognised facet of the great canon of romantic literature. Guests are invited to bring their best pal along and prepare a letter to read to them too. And it’s all taking place inside the gorgeous Punch Room cocktail bar inside swanky Berners Street hotel The London Edition, where you’ll be greeted with a cocktail on arrival. Sounds like a lovely way to treat your bestie for Galentine’s.
