The old-world elegance of Caviar Kaspia was the perfect setting for British designer Roksanda Ilincic to celebrate her 10 years in the industry. “It had to be here; it’s so intimate,” said Ilincic.
Dressed in a balloon-sleeved, shredded-chiffon tweed dress from her collection just shown in London, she greeted her “old friends,” among them Vogue’s Sarah Mower, Caroline Rush, Ruth Chapman, Christian Lacroix, and Jonathan Saunders, and her new, including Kanye West, Sabine Getty, and Veronika Heilbrunner. Guests each had a piece of geometric Roksanda jewelry on their plates—just as delicious as the food—which they immediately put on.
The favorite fuel of the fashion set—the humble baked potato dressed up with caviar—was followed by wild strawberries and raspberries. “So much has happened in a decade, but opening the Mount Street store was a moment,” said Ilincic.
“For me, Roksanda is the modern London designer,” said the legendary Lacroix, who had not been in the restaurant since the late ’80s, when he was a regular. But the staff still remembered his preferred tipple—a chilli vodka—and brought one over. Santé!
