Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize

On October 16 the Hotel Plaza Athenee played host to the 2012 Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize, which recognises emerging talent in the fashion industry. Five designers had been shortlisted for the final including Augstin Teboul, Calla, IRM Design, Les Garcons Paris and Quentin Veron.

Here are some of the pieces showcased on the night...

But it was French-German label Augustin Teboul who captured the attention of the jury and was crowned this year's winner. Well deserved...

The Plaza Athenee is an immaculately presented hotel. It has been featured in movies and TV shows (like the final season of Sex and the City), as well as countless fashion shoots. It was a privilege to see inside and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. After the winner was announced on the night, guests enjoyed champagne and hors d'oeuvres (prepared by Alain Ducasse's team) in the courtyard. It was a hugely enjoyable night.
