A Dinner in London for Delpozo and Moda Operandi and a Fete for Mulberry in New York.

Poppy Delevingne and Indre Rockefeller Host an Intimate Dinner in London for Delpozo and Moda Operandi, and Charles Finch Holds a Fete for Mulberry in New York.

When a company’s U.S. president looks as chic as Indre Rockefeller, you know the brand means business, which is just the case with Delpozo. Last night, its spring 2015 show was celebrated at Moda Operandi’s brand new showroom in London’s Chelsea neighborhood with an intimate dinner hosted by Rockefeller and Poppy Delevingne. The collection, including a strapless pale pink gown with a hot pink silk tulle skirt that prompted Rockefeller to ask, “isn’t this the softest texture you have ever touched?” was scattered around the mews.

Rockefeller explained how important fit is to the brand’s creative director, Josep Font he was trained as an architect which is why there’s such an emphasis on structure. Upstairs, guests including London girls Alice Naylor-Leyland (in Alessandra Rich), Marissa Montgomery, Nina Flohr, and Serena Nikkhah sat around a long table beautifully decorated with colorful roses for dinner alongside Moda’s very own Hayley Bloomingdale and Bettina Santo Domingo.

Meanwhile, back in New York, creative entrepreneur and Finch & Partners founder Charles Finch and Mulberry cohosted a supper at The Carlyle. Finch and Godfrey Davis, the executive chairman of Mulberry, welcomed guests including actresses Maddison Brown, in a twinkling embellished dress, and Jessica Joffe. Brit actress Rebecca Hall debuted her daring new boyish crop “Is it too eighties?” she joked. Eighties supermodel, certainly.

The evening was joyously low-key, with Brits in New York Lucy Sykes Rellie and Marigay McKee pow-wowing over scallops and steaks with Jamie Tisch. Australian documentary filmmaker Gracie Otto (dressed in a silk British racing green Mulberry dress) was just about to head upstate to screen her bio-doc of legendary producer and bon vivant Michael White, The Last Impresario. Fellow documentary and filmmaker Jamie Johnson chatted about his upcoming projects, including his current short film, Adrift.

After a delicious flourless chocolate cake dessert, the chat and party migrated to Bemelmans Bar for one for the road, and all that jazz.
