A true gent lets his hair down on a Wednesday: Inside our Savile Row party to celebrate the publication of Gentleman's Life
'The party marked the ten-year anniversary of Gentleman's Life and it was, fittingly, a party for the ages.'
On Bonfire Night, Country Life hosted a party at 14, Savile Row, to launch this year's edition of Gentleman's Life. The building once housed the atelier of Sir Hardy Amies, dressmaker to Elizabeth II, and now operates as Hackett's Bespoke townhouse, J P Hackett, where customers can choose every detail of their suit from fabric, styling, lining and trims.
The party welcomed esteemed guests such as Dafydd Jones, Harold Tillman, Viscountess Newport and Caroline Michel, as well as friends of the magazine the Hon George Plumptre, William Hanson, Katy Hessel and Sophia Money-Coutts. Historians Alice Loxton and Honor Cargill-Martin, along with comedians Max Fosh and Luke Millington-Drake, also joined in the festivities, with canapés courtesy of Elliot Grover of 45 Park Lane and cocktails served by Savile Row Gin.

The party marked the ten-year anniversary of Gentleman's Life and it was, fittingly, a party for the ages. 'Why don't you throw these every week?' Harold asked. Speeches were given by Jeremy Hackett, the brand's founder, and Country Life editor-in-chief Mark Hedges, with guests partying late into the night.
