Fashion Roundtable and The Fashion People Host Burns Night Dinner at Boisdale Belgravia

Fashion Roundtable and The Fashion People brought together senior voices across fashion, media and sustainability for an intimate Burns Night dinner at Boisdale Belgravia, taking over its Auld Restaurant for an evening celebrating circular fashion, heritage and community.

Hosted by Tamara Cincik, with generous support from The Fashion People’s Dias Nurlanov, the guest list included leading figures such as Suzy Menkes, Clare Press, Bay Garnett, Virginia Bates, Bora Aksu, Karen Binns, Joshua Scacheri, Jason Gerrard, Emily Zak, Bella Webb, Dave Benett, alongside representatives from Savile Row and the Pollen Estate, and brands including Mulberry, TOAST, Bamford, Gieves & Hawkes, Threadology and Paul Smith, among others.

Guests were welcomed by a traditional bagpiper, who later returned to ceremoniously usher in the haggis. Actor Craig McGinlay, travelling from Gleneagles and dressed in a kilt made especially for him by a fan (styled with his own wardrobe), delivered a stirring recital of Robert Burns’ Address to a Haggis.

The Auld Restaurant was styled with ivy garlands and vintage vases filled with thistle, white rose and lucky heather, tied with tartan ribbon. The menu honoured tradition with smoked salmon, followed by haggis (vegetarian and classic), toasted with “a wee dram,” and cranachan to finish.

Tamara Cincik said: “What a fantastic evening to celebrate the secondhand economy, Scottish heritage and our exciting partnership with The Fashion People at our Burns night event at Boisdale, Belgravia. Bringing such brilliant minds together in such a special setting made it truly memorable — and when the bagpipes began, it felt unmistakably magical.”
