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.

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.
