Moda Operandi Launch, September 2014.


The ever elegant Lauren Santo Domingo threw open the doors to her perfectly pink, feminine mews house Moda Operandi. London's most talked about private shopping space was finally open and it was a warm balmy night to celebrate.

  Guests such as Alexa Chung, Andre Balazs, The Earl and Countess of Mornington, Mary Charteris, Tom Hollander and Poppy Delevingne sipped rose martinis whilst cooing over the rails of beautiful clothes and cabinets stuffed full of sparkling delights. After moseying around the divine space cleverly designed by Fran Hickman, it was over to Café Royal's Pompadour Suite for supper and late night revelry spun by Hugo Heathcote in the Oscar Wilde room.

The Serpentine Summer Party. July 2014.

Rose Productions was on hand to support the wonderful team at The Serpentine for their annual summer party, adding a sprinkling of Hollywood glamour to the already sparkly red carpet. This year the party was sponsored by menswear label Brioni. A dazzling performance by the one and only Pharrell left every guest starry eyed followed by the legendary Belgian duo 2MANYDJ'S.










Pro Alvear. Ham Polo Club. June 2014.


Lady Godiva is legendary for having ridden naked through the streets of Coventry, but the Pro Alvear's very own Lady Godiva Sophie Moss was elegantly dressed in a beautiful long Amanda Wakeley sensation.  No doubt the fella who later bid a whopping £40,000 for the dress that she had been wearing was hoping to rectify the situation.  At least she raised a few smiles, as well as helping raise £160,000 for Fundación Pro Alvear, which supports development in Argentina's Pampas region.

Fatal Attraction. March 2014.

It was little wonder the Theatre Royal Haymarket attracted a starry crowd for the on stage premiere of Fatal Attraction; Bryan Ferry, Laura Bailey, Stephen Fry, Nigella Lawson and Richard E Grant were out in force to support the wonderful James Dearden, Trevor Nunn & Robert Fox and their recreation of the cult film. Following an electric performance starring Natasha McElhone, Kristin Davis & Mark Bazeley guests sauntered over to the Chiltern Firehouse for tasty southern nibbles of cornbread, fried chicken & crab doughnuts.

Sybarite jewellery is dynamic, magical, whimsical, fairy tale and delicate which is exactly how we would describe our hostess Natalia Vodianova. The theme continued throughout the venue as guests were welcomed by a burlesque dancer in her very own snow globe. We worked with the creative Goddess Fiona Leahy to create more magical touches with snow shaker placements to moving crystal carousels constantly turning on the neon centrepieces.
