Tonight’s dinner guest is the ever-chic Julie Pelipas. Julie is arguably one of the most elegant stylists in our industry.

Since then, Julie has launched her sustainably focussed brand Bettter.Us with the ambition to set up a new system in fashion using technology, impeccable design and upcycling. Interviewing her is the equally stylish Naomi Smart, British Vogue's Commerce Director and Julie’s “Instagram friend from afar”.

Tonight’s dinner guest is the model, writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf. It would be fair to say that Munroe isn’t just the most visible trans woman in fashion, she’s the most visible in UK culture. Her journey to get here has been impressive. She’s fronted fashion campaigns, she’s been the first Black trans woman on the cover of magazines, she’s on the Diversity and Inclusion board for L'Oreal and has just launched her own podcast ‘The Way We Are’. Interviewing her is Kenya Hunt, Deputy Editor at Grazia. Munroe and Kenya discuss the compelling femininity of Alexander McQueen, fashion as resistance in a patriarchy, the need for diversity at social media companies, the powerful feminine glamour of ‘campness’ and the enduring appeal of a sparkly Louboutin.
