Fashion’s great and good — from powerhouse designers Michael Kors, Sarah Burton and Andreas Kronthaler to high profile figures Jasper Conran, Laudomia Pucci and Bella Freud — gathered at Dover Street Market to toast legendary fashion journalist Suzy Menkes’ 80th birthday. Her first job, at 24, was at the London Evening Standard.
“I started my career at the Evening Standard — that’s when I first met Anna [Wintour] when she was too scared to dance,” she said. “I’ve been lucky to have a front row seat — mind you I’ve deserved it — from my time there in my 20s, to Vogue in my 70s.”
