Charlotte Olympia Dinner 'Handbags for the Leading Lady'. October 2014.

When Charlotte Olympia announced the arrival of her staggeringly beautiful handbag collection, 'Handbags for the Leading Lady' it was only ever going to be the most glamorous crowd in London gathering to celebrate the launch.

The atmosphere at Toto's Restaurant in Chelsea was old school Hollywood glamour with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Mario Testino, Alice Eve, Paloma Faith, Arizona Muse and Jasmine Guinness all in attendance.

Moncler and Leica 'Monuments' private view and dinner. October 2014.

Jasmine Guinness, Eva Herzigova, Stella Tennant and Caroline Sieber were among those through the doors of Sotheby's to get a first peek at the Monuments exhibition by the uber talented Fabien Baron. Collaborating with Leica and Moncler the creative director travelled to Greenland to capture the magnificent ice flows. 

“I wanted to convey an idea that this was not real, even though it was real, a little bit of metamorphosis of the place,” said Baron to WWD. “I felt like the place was so monumental, I wanted to light it like a monument, to show it in a different light.” Remo Ruffini, the Italian CEO who since his taking over of Moncler in 2003 has made mountain-top wear a true fashion fashion statement added: “The challenge between man and nature, which drives us to seek new creative solutions for taking on the harshest climes and the coldest temperatures, is part of the DNA of Moncler.”

Following the exhibition, guests ventured over to China Tang for a celebratory dinner of dim sum and crispy duck, washed down with jasmine martinis.
