" I went to Simons yesterday because a friend and I were invited to an after party of the fashion week. After making us wait for an hour in the -15 C cold, they refused to let us in, although she and I had an official invite and refused to talk to us. My friend is of Middle Eastern decent and it was very obvious why they were refusing us.
I have never, ever been treated so badly at a club and I have been to many, also very exclusive, clubs. What a message to send to foreign journalists for the fashion week - you are not welcome because your skin is dark.
All in all, it was very unprofessional of them and a very bad experience - I will never go there again.
