I am deeply proud of these images, created on the occasion of a fundraiser for the charity Children with Cancer UK. Working closely with each of the wonderful debutantes dressed in gowns designed by Emma Victoria Payne, I designed and directed the photoshoot, which I was able to create to promote the upcoming Queen Charlotte’s Ball.


The Dean’s House of the London Business School provided a wonderful location for bringing out the best in each girl’s personal glamour, access to which was made possible by the personal connections that I have cultivated over the years.


After all, learning to make one’s debut is all about education, which made the Business School an apt backdrop, especially for the up-and-coming businesswomen in the group! I took a lot of pride in helping these girls to have the best debut they could imagine, and this very special photoshoot represents my vision for the modern debutante, who is international, influential, and unique.

Queen Charlotte's Ball 2014


Lukas Kroulik - Creative Director, Visualiser and It-girl Maker


Designer: Stewart Parvin


One of my greatest skills as an organiser and as a creative director is that of finding access to unforgettable locations, and holding the Queen Charlotte’s Ball of 2014 at Highclere Castle truly elevated the event to new heights of elegance.


The sprawling and beautiful country estate is iconic for its prominence in Downton Abbey, and the debutantes making their first appearances in the London Season were able to enter a timeless world in a night designed just for them. I brought some of my closest and most glamorous friends to this year’s ball, and I had the pleasure of collaborating with the wonderful Lady Carnarvon on the day to ensure that this event was a seamless success.


The gowns designed for the girls by Stewart Parvin could not have made a better match, and plenty of money was raised for Marie Curie Cancer Care.


The debutantes shone like diamonds in this beautiful setting, and they captivated the imaginations of all who got to see them at Highclere as well as in the papers. I was so proud to be able to make such a dream come true!
