Suzy Menkes, Zandra Rhodes and the Fashion and Textile Museum hosted the launch of My Favourite Dress, a book dedicated to dresses and the very favourites of Alexander McQueen, Diane von Furstenberg, Amanda Wakeley, Matthew Williamson, Zac Posen, about 75 other people, and one of our board members!
The book, compiled by Gity Monsef, Samantha Erin Safer and Robert de Niet, echoes the exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum by the same name and our board member Daisy de Villeneuve tells the story of her favourite: a turquoise vintage dress from Rellik with a Chinese-inspired print. “I took part in the book because Samantha and Gity asked me to be involved. I’d worked with Gity before when I had my solo show at The Fashion and Textile Museum a few years ago. I still have the dress. I bought it in 2000 and it has come in pretty handy,” says Daisy.

After the event, where we ran into Vogue.com’s fashion features editor, Jessica Bumpus and fashion designer, William Tempest, we snuck out for snacks and drinks with Samantha and Gity. Not only did they create an amazing book, those gals know how to have fun.
See you on the 28th, where my-wardrobe.com founder and CEO, Sarah Curran will be interviewed by FBC’s Frances Card at Swarovski CRYSTALLIZEDTM. We’ll also be celebrating our 4th birthday with cupcakes from Cakehole and chocolate from Godiva!
Will Daisy be wearing the turquoise dress? You’ll have to attend to find out.
