UNICEF Halloween Ball. October 2015.

It was Rose Production's third year working with UNICEF on their annual Halloween Ball at No 1 Mayfair. This year it was decided on a theme of FREAKY CIRCUS to kick off the Halloween festivities. 

On arrival, the talented team at Look Left Look Right lead the Halloween revellers on an interactive journey down to the crypt. Guests were shown in to secret rooms to have their tarot read and found themselves privy to the back stage madness of the circus where clowns roamed wildly and strong men prepared for their night ahead. As they found their way upstairs, all were welcomed with smoking margarita martini cocktails and food carts serving a variety of food from Mexican tacquitos to classic circus fare including mini mac n cheese with truffle, pop corn chicken and mini slider burgers with cheddar rarebit.

George Lamb acted as the colourful ring master pulling together an evening of wild entertainment including fire juggling and acrobatics, occasionally handing over the microphone to UNICEF ambassador Michael Sheen who delivered the most heart wrenching, powerful speech about his experiences in the Syrian refugee camps. This prompted the electric live auction, lead by Sotheby's Lord Harry Dalmeny which alongside the silent auction and the pound for pound government matching, raised an awe inspiring £1,600,000 for the children of Syria. 

The celebrations then exploded with a trio of live performances from the beautiful Jessie Ware, who sang an acoustic set with her band, Rita Ora accompanied by five incredible dancers and to end the evening the perfect DJ set from Mark Ronson and Hugo Heathcote. 

Other guests included Arizona Muse, Poppy Delevingne, Steve Coogan, Hugh Grant, Jemima Khan, Elise Sednaoui, Camilla Al Fayed, Alice Temperley and Greg Williams, Gala Gordon, Matthew Frued, Martha Ward and Noor Fares.

Party in the Sky. October 2015.

It was a night to remember as a Party in the Sky was held to inaugurate the South Bank Tower’s 40th floor Penthouse. 

An unparalleled 360 degree view of the London skyline was the ultimate back drop for the beautiful Erin O’Connor, Jasmine Guinness, Lily Cole, Amber Le Bon, Donna Air, Alice Naylor-Leyland, Olivia Inge, Sam Rollinson, Eve Delf and Charlotte Wiggins who came and danced to the visionary Paloma Faith whilst eating treats served up by Michelin-starred Giorgio Locatelli himself. 

Delicious cocktails and a bespoke ice cream bar were served by the Mondrian's award winning Dandelyan Bar.

Louis Vuitton Series 3 Exhibition. September 2015.

When we heard the Louis Vuitton Series 3 Exhibition was coming to London Fashion Week, we knew it wasn't going to be just an ordinary event. Months of building and meticulous planning resulted in the most spectacular space we had ever laid our eyes on and Rose Productions were honoured to be a part of it.

Guests arrived at 80 The Strand, once a brutal grey office building

to find a totally transformed space. What was once a derelict building site was now the most stunning collection of rooms showcasing the intricate, detailed work of the Louis Vuitton house.

Described as an experiential fashion exhibition guests were taken on a number of interlocking journeys celebrating the expeditions that inspired the Louis Vuitton A/W15 collection as well as exploring the vision of Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquiere. The Exhibition utilised the latest in sound, colour, digital and light technology to take the viewer on a journey through 13 different rooms, arranged over 3 floors. 

Guests included Alicia Vikander, Michelle Williams, Cressida Bonas, Lily Donaldson, Cara & Poppy Delevingne, Catherine Deneuve, Selina Gomez, Clémence Poésy, Alexa Chung, Tallulah Harlech, Annabelle Wallis, Jean, Edie & Olympia Campbell, Douglas Booth, Lily Cole & St Vincent. 

An intimate gang followed the Exhibition to a private dinner at 5 Hertford Street where guests danced in their LouLou's night club to Poppy Delevingne and Alexa Chung DJ'ing for the night. Certainly a night to be remembered...

The Outnet's Iris & Ink Dinner. September 2015.

The Emin Room at 34 Restaurant in Mayfair was the perfect location for a cosy gathering of influential girls to celebrate The Outnet's own label Iris & Ink's fall/winter 2015 collection. 

 

Guests including artists Polly Morgan & Quentin Jones and super stylists Martha Ward, Sophia Hesketh and Tiphaine de Lussy were able to rifle through the rails of beautiful cashmere throws and luxe suede fitted trousers before settling in for a tasty dinner of baked cod with samphire followed by a naughty chocolate fondant.

Rose Productions were incredibly proud to support the Walkabout Foundation with their inaugural gala at The Natural History Museum on Saturday 27th June. Walkabout supporter President Bill Clinton delivered the most heart warming speech whilst guests were treated to an incredible evening of emotional talks from founders Luis and Carolina Gonzales-Bunster, delicious food and exquisite decor from the brilliant team at Polar Black and an unforgettable live performance from music legend, Nile Rodgers.

An unbelievable amount raised for an awe inspiring charity.
