Thank you so much to those who came to our evening charity Fashion Show in support of MENCAP. It was great to see so many friendly faces supporting MENCAP and SUZANNAH. We are thrilled to share that the total raised on the evening was £45K net which went directly to the charity. It was a beautiful event. Guests enjoyed a drinks and canapé reception, followed by a SUZANNAH fashion show together with the collaborations of Suzannah with the best in British millinery. A thank you to Emmy and Rupert Sanderson for the beautiful shoes. Rae Feather supported with their luxury straw bags which proved the perfect accessory for our tea dresses.
The elegant models walked to beautiful music by Kali Uchis, Lola Marsh, Florence and the Machine and Jamie XX with their slick leather tied pony tails providing the perfect neat canvas for the most amazing hats. The make up of matt lilac hued lips with an exaggerated eye line gave a modern slick lift to a vintage idea. The Goldsmiths kindly lit their spectacular candelabras for us and give the show a unique experience of a catwalk show by candle light. Below captures imagery from our two most popular looks from the show. Please look at our Instagram to see our videos. A special thank you to every one who came, donated and bought tickets, and a big enormous thank you to the BAFTA winning British actress Olivia Colman who came to support us and to help raise the profile of this amazing charity!
There is still a possibility to donate via the MENCAP website

We have produced a beautiful Spring Summer 2018 collection with new printed silk pieces to style up or down. Key pieces include our silk Odette Jumpsuit with a classic coin sized polka dot, a wonderfully flattering relaxed wear. Similarly, tailored from our gorgeous silk which has been printed in Italy the silk polo neck top in the reverse coin sized polka dot and high waisted slim trousers are perfect versatile pieces to take you stylishly from day through to event! We have also updated our classic tea dress with a round slit neck line and 3/4 sleeves. Introduced in several prints, the poppy red quill feather print is certainly a team favourite and can translate through the seasons easily.

We were invited to take part in one of a series of Speakers lunches at Coworth Park Ascot. The audience enjoyed a beautiful Michelin Star 3 course lunch with champagne and chocolates. During coffee Suzannah spoke about her history and told the story of her career and the brand path. Then she progressed into the etiquette for the social season events and what to wear for black and white tie whilst our beautiful model Rebecca walked the room in her Suzannah outfits dressed from head to heel in coordinated stylish millinery dress coat and shoes. Kate Wilkinson provided the make up and hair and created Rebecca into a perfect modern-day Audrey Hepburn. Here are the etiquette guidelines with accompanying photographs from the event…x
