Launch of The Serpentine Sackler Gallery, September 2013.


For 208 years The Magazine, a former 1805 gun powder store had been off limits to the public. That was until 2010 when the Grade 11 listed building won a tender from the Royal Parks. The Serpentine Sackler Gallery, designed by the renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, brings a modern twist to the building and Rose Productions were on hand to celebrate the official launch.

Guests included Mario Testino, Princess Michael of Kent, Grayson Perry, Caro Sieber, Alexandra Shulman.




Belstaff House Launch. Bond Street. September 2013.

The launch of Belstaff House was never going to be a quiet affair and quite rightly so, the new townhouse in the centre of Bond Street is something worth celebrating. So with this in mind the entire street was shut down to the public as a parade of motorcyclists led by a Belstaff clad David Beckham proceeded to drive down on Harley Davidson's. As the skies opened, guests huddled under their umbrellas to watch the parade before returning inside, dancing the rain off their leathers to DJ and artist Richie Culver.

Warming drinks from a beautiful restored route master, The Rosebery Bus were served throughout the night.

Guests included David Beckham, Anna Wintour, Harley Viera Newton, Jemma Kidd, Arizona Muse, Sarah Ann Macklin, Pixie Lott & Oliver Cheshire, Amber Le Bon, Jodie Kidd & David Gandy.

Pro Alvear Polo. July 2013. St Tropez.

Now in it's tenth year, The Pro Alvear polo continues to be one of the most prestigious polo events worldwide with over three hundred guests flying in from around the World to The Polo Club Saint-Tropez. The competition was as fierce as ever as six teams battled it out for 1st prize with victory going to Crisberry, captained by the formidable Davor Luksic. Once the polo sticks were down and the Mumm champagne had been sprayed, the guests turned their attention to Sotheby's Harry Dalmeny who was on hand to auction off the Lady Godiva's Matthew Williamson couture dress and an Adam Whitehead print of Kate Moss, taken from Bryan Ferry's Olympia album. The evening raised over €220,000 for the Argentinian children's charity.

Guests included Matthew Williamson, Pierre Casiraghi, Meredith Ostrom, Sacha Volkova, Lauren Remington-Platt, Arthur De Soultrait, Rolf Sachs, Martha Ward, Sophia Hesketh, Marissa Montgomery, Princess Maria Anunciata Liechtenstein and Princess Astrid Liechtenstein.
