These portraits were taken as part of a special photoshoot held after an exquisite afternoon tea in one of the finest hotels in London. I was responsible for the makeup, the styling, and the photography.
You can look just as fantastic and confident with my expert styling advice!

At the Russian Debutante Ball in 2017, I was proud to use my expertise to educate and train young women from all over the world to make their debut at one of the most glamorous addresses in London at Grosvenor House.
The guests of honour included HRH Princess Michael of Kent, Lord Frederick Windsor, and HH Princess Olga Romanoff, and the guest list was also graced with some of the most notable names in Russian society, including the likes of Sergei Polunin, Olga Kurylenko, and Brigitte Subkov. I decided to highlight the fun and prestige of the event in a reimagined front page of The Times showcasing the glamour of the ball, in which I enclosed each invitation to the event!

As personal stylist and mentor to debutantes, I was able to bring girls from around the world into the fold of London society, and as creative influencer, I helped to bring to life a night of timeless elegance, which attracted international media attention and proved itself a night to remember.
The Berkeley Dress Show is a cornerstone event in the London Season, and 2017’s hat show at the Ritz was the absolute quintessence of the fun and glamour of making one’s debut.

I had a fantastic time in my role as educator and creative collaborator, as I had the chance to match each girl with the right hat and work closely with the royal milliner John Boyd and his team as well as the fabulous Ritz itself to create an event where everyone felt welcome.

The legendary John Boyd taught Princess Diana how to use her hats to convey a message or express a mood to unforgettable effect, and with my unique approach to styling, every woman’s story was told eloquently in much the same timeless way.
