Berkeley Dress Show 2020
The Berkeley Dress Show 2020, The Ritz, London
The London Season was delighted to welcome His Highness Prince Aly Aga Khan and Patrons Lord and Lady Fermoy, Sir David Roche Bt. and eminent guests and debutantes to The Berkeley Dress Show on 4th September, as our first event of 2020. Following the disappointment of inevitable cancellation of the Queen Charlottte’s Ball due to Covid restrictions, it was a huge pleasure to reunite in the glamorous and very spoiling surroundings of William Kent House at the Ritz with a delicious champagne formal tea and traditional hat Show orchestrated by the inimitable Sarah Marshall at Her Majesty’s Milliner John Boyd Hats, Knightsbridge.
A huge thank you to all those who made this such a memorable afternoon and to the Debutante Junior Committee who hosted the event with such grace and charm
