It might be all about the boys on the runways, but London’s fashion flock is taking to elegant lunches and cocktails to toast designers and their latest collections. Earlier this week, Mary Katrantzou joined Mandolin Aegean Bistro’s Anastasia Koutsioukis in hosting a lavish Greek lunch party with Net-a-Porter. And while most associate London with dreary weather (yes, even in summer!), the fete felt bright, thanks to the printed headscarves sported by guests like Sabine Getty, Noor Fares, and Eugenie Niarchos.
And last night continued the theme of bold ensembles as Elisa Sednaoui Dellal led a chic clique, including Tabitha Simmons with Robert Mortimer and Hayley Bloomingdale, in celebrating CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund alums Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin of Tome. The evening was filled with festive decorations, such as some cleverly clothed cheetahs, which prompted cheers and laughs from British Vogue’s Sarah Harris and Naomi Smart, Nasiba Adilova, and Tania Fares, while the cheers for the designers continued long into the night.
