Styling the Elite

Arresting, bold, and dynamic: these are women who make the world move. Ella Mountbatten, a formidable client of mine, and a London-based model came together for an afternoon tea photoshoot at Lancaster House, where all three women were impeccably styled in clothing that expresses their power and grace.

These photographs set each woman off against the aristocratic glamour of her surroundings, and in the company of aristocracy and a professional model, my client became a model of what it means to be a member of the elite.

My special afternoon teas are designer photoshoots, and this session reflects how you too can be styled and photographed. We can work together to match your standards of beauty to my professional advice, and we can explore any area of styling that you would like to learn more about as we discuss locations, photography, makeup, and styling.

My services are all about teaching everything that I know about working with clothes, designers, and fashions that are right for you, and when you feel ready to make a statement, I will be there to help you every step of the way.

The Majestic China Night

The Reform Club, Pall Mall, London

The Majestic China Night was an unforgettable evening of sophisticated cultural exchange between East and West, with guests that I brought together from every corner of the British social scene: artists, athletes, politicians, art critics and socialites alike were in attendance for a night of glamour and cross-cultural conversation. Richard Hilliard and I co-hosted this event at a private club in Pall Mall, as I specialise in providing access to some of the most exclusive locales London has to offer. It proved the perfect setting for such an interesting group of people, and the good ideas were in full flow between the walls of this venerable institution.

Guests from London and Europe had been invited to learn about Chinese culture and art through demonstrations of calligraphy, dancing and singing, while Chinese guests got their very own taster of European dance and song.

My skills in organising events range from making all the right introductions to securing locations that very few in the world ever get to see. I will delight in opening those doors for you.

Afternoon Tea with a Princess

Scarlett’s studies at world-famous London College of Fashion led to her aspiration to know how high fashion is lived, not just designed. Lukas’ close friend Princess Olga Romanoff welcomed Scarlett and her friends to an exclusive tea party in her countryside mansion – in Princess Olga both Russian and British aristocracy are combined.

To master the art of polite English conversation what could be better than individual tuition from the Royal Family’s personal tutor, and Lukas’ business partner, Richard Hilliard. Here Scarlett meets Richard for one of her lessons in the prestigious Travellers Club, the quintessential home for English gentlemen founded in 1819 for them to entertain distinguished foreign guests.

Scarlett is dedicated to the arts, and not just as an observer. She wanted to put the finishing touch to the ballet skills that she had learned in China. Lukas arranged for her to take a private class with a star ballerina at the Royal Academy of Dance.

To complement her expertise in the world of fashion, Scarlett chose to learn styling: but only from the best. Here, Lukas Kroulik draws on his experience as Royal stylist to give Scarlett his wisdom and insights.
