Quintessentially summer party
Well-known faces from the worlds of art, fashion, music and film – plus a number of good ol’ party folk sheltered from a summer evening of torrential rain inside Philips de Pury & Co for the Quintessentially Summer Arts Party. Guests downed Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut and a mixture of summer cocktails whilst admiring an eclectic range of installations which included Kirstie Macleod in her ‘Dreaming Dress’.
