Will Phoebe Waller-Bridge bring the laughs between courses?
Will Queen Elizabeth I and Coco Chanel swap notes on power and polish?
And what happens when Oscar Wilde, David Bowie and Zaha Hadid all find themselves at the same dinner table?

Over the past few months, we’ve asked four brilliant creatives to curate their dream dinner parties – and they delivered unforgettable nights shaped by music, memory, rebellion, and beauty.

From candlelit museums and open fields to historic abbeys and iconic galleries, each venue set the tone for a guest list that ranges from literary legends and fashion firebrands to soulful chefs and cinematic dreamers.

This series is a celebration of the people and places that shape a designer’s world. And now’s your chance to revisit all four parties - Click on the series link in our bio!
