This afternoon I met William Tempest at the Mayfair Hotel for a tea party and private screening of The Princess And The Frog. I’ve been to several fashion events at the Mayfair Hotel but it’s always more exciting to go with a designer that you work with!

Disney asked William to design a dress for Anika Noni Rose, the star of The Princess And The Frog, for the London premiere. William Tempest has always been a big fan of Disney, and he grew up with a sister who adored all things Disney, so in a way it was no surprise but really you just don’t expect Disney to phone you up and ask you to make a dress for a princess! You always wonder how these relationships come about but sometimes something simple leads to a great opportunity: William wore a Mickey Mouse T-shirt at one of his shows and was photographed in it and someone at Disney noticed.

I was waiting in the lobby to meet William and there were lots of little girls dressed up in princess dresses wearing tiaras for the tea party and premiere. It was very festive and quite a site to behold!

There was a lineup of press waiting to talk to everyone involved, and here’s William giving interviews to each of them in turn.

Anika Noni Rose sang live for the crowd - it was quite exciting! As you might expect, she has an amazing voice.

Stacy Soloman was there, with her little boy dressed up as an alligator (there’s one in the film) and Jamelia was there with her two daughters. More then anything it was a family event, even including Peter Jones, who was there with his wife and three cute little girls.

Vauxhall Fashion Scout announces Merit Award winner Hermione de Paula for February 2010!

I first saw Hermione’s collection at Vauxhall Fashion Scout as I was working on ‘Ones to Watch’ show September 09. Her prints are really beautiful and her clothes are so easy wear!

Hermione studied at Central St Martins and graduating with a first class degree in Fashion and Print, de Paula gained invaluable experience from working with the likes of Alexander McQueen, Galliano and Christian Dior which has led to her developing her own luxury ready to wear collection with an emphasis on delicate hand painted and collage prints.

Drapers Fashion Summit VIP Party

Posted by Rebekah Roy on October 14th, 2009

I was invited to attend a cocktail party for the  Fashion Summit. It was like the who’s who of the fashion world but most importantly I got to know one of my favourite fashion bloggers a little bit better, Disney Roller Girl. She’s so cool, so down to earth and just fun to hang out with!

Victoria Beckham & William Tempest

Posted by Rebekah Roy on October 1st, 2009

100109-william-400 Victoria Beckham & William TempestVictoria Beckham wearing William Tempest for the launch of David Beckham’s Adidas Originals in Los Angeles. Check out the full story on The Mail Online!

Some people love to hate Victoria Beckham but the one thing I’ve always admired about her is that she’s always kept a keen eye on fashion. She wears designers because she likes them and has supported new British designers over the years. (When she launched her jeans at Harrods when she wore an Ana Šekularac top.)

William loves that she’s wearing his clothes - as his stylist I thought I’d use my super-exclusive :) access to get a quote, so here it is:

"The corset and pencil skirt look amazing on Victoria, they really suit her style and it’s fantastic that she is supporting young designers."
