Hosted by Tamara Cincik, with the generous support of The Fashion People’s Dias Nurlanov, the guest list brought together leaders across fashion, media and sustainability, including Suzy Menkes, Clare Press, Bay Garnett, Virginia Bates, Bora Aksu, Karen Binns, Joshua Scacheri, Jason Gerrard, Emily Zak, Bella Webb, Dave Benett and representatives from Savile Row and the Pollen Estate, Mulberry, TOAST, Bamford, Gieves & Hawkes, Threadology and Paul Smith among others.
Guests were welcomed by a traditional bagpiper, who later returned to ceremoniously usher in the haggis. Actor Craig McGinlay, having travelled from Gleneagles and dressed in a kilt made especially for him by a fan, and styled with his own wardrobe, delivered a stirring recital of Robert Burns’ Address to a Haggis.
Tables were laid with ivy garlands and vintage vases filled with thistle, white rose and lucky heather, tied with tartan ribbon. The menu honoured tradition with smoked salmon, followed by haggis (veg & non) - toasted with “a wee dram” - and Cranachan to finish.
Tamara said: “What a fantastic evening to celebrate the secondhand economy, Scottish heritage and our exciting partnership with The Fashion People at our Burns night event at Boisdale, Belgravia. Bringing such brilliant minds together in such a special setting made it truly memorable - and when the bagpipes began, it felt unmistakably magical.”
