More than 70 guests attended the glamorous event, which was held at the iconic Mosimann’s private dining club in Belgravia, and raised more than £14,000.

Guests enjoyed a drinks reception and lunch while admiring the work of Dame Zandra Rhodes, as well as fellow designers Tomasz Starzewski, Louise Kennedy and Dillon Wallwork. Following the show, attendees were able to buy directly from the designers, with 10% of the sales going to Hospice UK.

A figurehead in British fashion for five decades, Dame Zandra Rhodes has collaborated with iconic brands such as Valentino, Topshop, Free People and IKEA, while Tomasz Starzewski has designed garments worn by the late Princess of Wales and Baroness Thatcher. Louise Kennedy is a member of the British Fashion Council and designer to members of the Royal Family and Dillon Wallwork has been a staple of the high fashion scene for more than 30 years.

Catherine Bosworth, Director of Income Generation and Grants at Hospice UK said: “The Fashion Lunch was an amazing success and has helped to raise vital funds for end of life care that will impact hospices across the country and will make such a huge difference to people at the end of their life. 

“We were thrilled to see such an array of incredible designers featuring their work at our Fashion Lunch and we are so grateful for all of the money raised!"

The funds raised will help Hospice UK continue its work with care providers and communities throughout the UK, helping to ensure everyone gets the end of life care they deserve no matter who or where they are.
