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.

ASMALLWORLD, The Palace Hotel, Gstaad.

Rose Productions headed to the mountains for their second ASMALLWORLD Winter Weekend. The sun was shining, the shades were on and the Schnapps was flowing. We skied, we danced and we ate copies amounts of fondue... a perfect weekend.



Our guests included Nick Grimshaw, Sadie Frost, Tamsin Egerton, Olivia Inge & Justin O'Shea.








Sybarite at The Sackler Gallery, Hyde Park.

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. 

Guests included Natalia Vodianova, Giancarlo Giammetti, Camilla Rutherford, Arizona Muse, Jacquetta Wheeler, Charlotte Tilbury, Nick Rhodes & Jasmine Guinness.
