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.
