Going to a party means dressing up, which of course is just so much fun as I never really care about the food or even the Imperial Collection vodka cocktails  for me it's all about the hat!  At my table was milliner Alexandra Harper in a Maria Grachvogel dress and headpiece that she designed earlier that day to match her dress, I wore a a delightful Stephen Jones hat with a Kirsty Ward dress that made a jngly sound when I walked, and  Fashion PR Courtney Blackman wore Alice Palmer and and Alexandra Harper hat.Me, with Maurice Mullen, head of luxury at the Evening Standard and Hilary AlexanderThe very beautiful trend forecaster Yasmin Sewell!Designer Sorapol with creative director Daniel LismoreBackstage with AOFM Pro prepping the models, VIPs and celebrities using the German make up brand Catrice.The goodie bags!A Chambord chocolate sphere!
