The Work It Girls

In Conversation

After hosting their iconic WORK IT nights in east London for almost a decade, Loren Platt and Sara El Dabi’s R&B phenomenon has found a new home south of the river at Omeara – we find out where the original party girls like to spend their time in the city.

Where’s your favourite dancing spot?
We’ve been doing WORK IT parties for 10 years now and proud it’s still the best place in town to let go on the dance floor.

What was the last exhibition you went to?
The Basquiat exhibition at the Barbican – you can see how his work was so influential on fashion and music culture into the 90s and noughties.

What are you listening to right now?
We’re always blown away by the art and music produced by people in our creative network. Listen to Larry B and Klein’s latest work.

Where do you head to celebrate?
We’re gearing up for our 10th Birthday in Easter. It’s going to be a huge celebration of all the amazing people who we’ve collaborated with and all the fun we’ve had.

What do you love most about south London?
That you’re never too far from a hair shop.
