Last week, Who What Wear UK launched the first in a series of supper club events called Excellent Taste. An opportunity to bring together inspirational, influential people we've admired up close and from afar, these get-togethers will be a chance for our network of brilliant contributors, friends and talent to come together to collaborate, converse and share their opinions, experiences and—let's be honest, great outfits.
Stunning florals by Rebel Rebel and fresh lemons, tomatoes and olive oil for a DIY salad starter.
Nestled in the chicest of private dining rooms at the iconic La Petite Maison in Mayfair, guests were treated to a super-fun cocktail upon arrival: the tomatini. Flourished with a cherry tomato and a dramatic seasoning of pepper from the largest and most artistic mill we've ever seen, this was the perfect way to see in the start of spring.
The table setting was, of course, instantly Instagrammable. Thanks to deep-hued floral arrangements from Rebel Rebel and a line-up of stunning family-style sharing platters, it was a tough decision between getting the shot for the 'gram or getting a plateful of heavenly food!
Guests included Feben Vemmenby, Davina Wedderburn-Thompson and Jeannie Annan-Lewin.
We started with juicy bursting burrata, sweet prawns and marinated beetroot, followed by the most divine seabass, lamb and homemade gnocchi main courses and finished off with French toast, warm chocolate mousse and a cheesecake to rival any we'd ever had. To say we were well-fed and watered is an understatement.
Editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi welcomed guests with a pre-dinner speech, next to Eshita Kabra-Davies and Amy Bannerman.
In attendance alongside our host, editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi, were some of the greats of the British fashion scene: designers including Feben Vemmenby and Racil Chalhoub, industry players like the BFC's Davina Wedderburn-Thompson, ByRotation founder Eshita Kabra-Davies, Elite Model Management director Miranda Cantacuzene-Speransky, stylists Jeannie Annan-Lewinm and Lyla Cheng; as well as key influential talents such as fashion trailblazers Jordan Grant and Amy Bannerman, interiors guru Tatjana Von Stein, model Wallis Day and actors Jenny Walser and Amber Anderson.
Florals, Fendi and a fabulous cocktail.
A huge thank you to all who made our first supper club such a joyful and warm evening—we can't wait for the next one. Scroll through the gallery below for more moments.
