Annoushka hosted her 16th Inspirational Women's Lunch alongside the ever-inspiring Amanda Wakeley OBE. Amanda entered the fashion world working for a designer in New York, before returning to London to launch her eponymous label in 1990. Recognised for clean lines, impeccable fit and sports luxe details, her collections are designed to take women through every aspect of their life with effortless chic. Amanda is entirely self-taught and very quickly became a favourite amongst the world's most stylish women, including Princess Diana and most recently Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson.

Guests were invited to our Flagship Annoushka South Molton Street boutique for a champagne reception and to preview Annoushka's new Seed charms before moving across the road for lunch in the gorgeous Foyer Room at Claridge's. We were delighted to hear Amanda discuss her design process, the importance of playfulness in her collections and the lessons she has learnt through starting up her business.

Thank you to our wonderful host, Amanda, to Gosset for the champagne and to Claridge's for a wonderful lunch.
