The charming Belgravia Room at The Lanesborough played host to a distinguished gathering on Sunday afternoon. The occasion? A prestigious showcase of Childrensalon’s SS24 occasionwear, elegantly presented by the first-ever event from The Mini Edition.
Nestled amidst the resplendent Regency interiors of The Lanesborough, overlooking Hyde Park Corner, and adjacent to Buckingham Palace grounds, this exclusive event was nothing short of a decadent fairy-tale children’s party. The history-steeped ambiance, lovingly curated under the direction of events & partnerships Antionette Lettieri, served as the perfect backdrop for an exquisite day.
As the London elite, both young and old, gathered in this iconic five-star hotel, they were greeted by an array of activities tailored for all ages. While the grown-up guests perused the SS24 collections and indulged in champagne, the little ones reveled in a world of springtime enchantment – from face-painting to crafting flower crowns and sampling Ladurée’s delectable ice creams. The Belgravia Room transformed into a realm of wonder, adorned with showstopping florals by Fiona Fleur and enchanting woodland trees courtesy of Twilight Trees.
Entertainment was nothing short of exceptional, curated by Sharky & George, adding an extra layer of excitement for the young attendees. Throughout the event they expertly crafted activities kept the children engaged and delighted, creating an atmosphere of joy and laughter that resonated throughout the event.
The guest list read like a who’s who of London’s elite, with luminaries such as Aimee Kelly, Aldo Kane, Alessandra Frame, Tabitha Willett, Chessie King, Debbie Le, Hattie West, Antionette Lettieri, Cherelle Mukoko, Lily Worcester, Monique Vega, Bianca London, Naomi Walkland, Jo Holly and more in attendance, adding an extra layer of glamour to the already opulent affair.
The spotlight, however, remained firmly on Childrensalon’s SS24 collections. As the world’s leading online multi-brand retailer of luxury designer childrenswear, Childrensalon showcased over 250 of the most desirable brands, from the timeless elegance of Burberry and Fendi to the playful designs of Mini Rodini and Stella McCartney Kids. A celebration of spring, the collections left an indelible mark on the minds of those in attendance.
The founders of The Mini Edition, Kendra Leaver-Rylah and Isabella Foulger, expressed their excitement at this momentous launch. “We are thrilled to be showcasing the beautiful collections from Childrensalon at our first event for The Mini Edition. This special launch feels like a natural next step for The Wedding Edition, as weddings and parenting are intrinsically linked. The Lanesborough was an obvious choice for celebrating our launch, known for hosting the most dazzling children’s parties. We intend to provide inspiring, conversational, and curated content covering all things mini.”
