“I am delighted to announce my first In Studio Style Event in two years, since before the pandemic.

“But it’s been unbearable to hear about the events and war in Ukraine so I thought I would combine some fun with clothes and colour here in my Stirling Studio with a fundraiser for the Red Cross.

“I am going to auction off the remainder of my French Captain Tortue collection so this will be great fun.

“As well as getting a fantastic bargain from this exclusive designer range, however, you will be helping those most in need.”
