Prêt-à-Portea: the Couture Cakewalk

Ready-to-wear becomes ready-to-eat with our haute couture afternoon tea, which makes a welcome return for the Autumn-Winter season after a creative break. Vibrant, bold and joyful, the collection is a tribute to the runway successes of the fashion world.

Cinnamon spiced apples are transformed into a sharing showstopper that echoes Moschino’s epic Marie Antoinette-inspired gown, complete with a larger-than-life wig. A pistachio sablé is the nutty base to a matcha and black sesame mousse cake, finished with fruit tulle ‘lace’ mirroring Riccardo Tisci’s emerald Burberry trench. Simone Rocha’s pearl evening bag cracks open to reveal vanilla ganache and passion fruit, while toasted coconut and Jivara chocolate become the homage to a Dolce & Gabbana monochrome masterpiece.

The cakewalk concludes with Marc Jacobs’ swinging 60s coat and hat, reimagined as a delicate lemon and meringue-laced joconde, and Prada’s stiletto-and-socks combination recreated as intricately piped chocolate biscuits.

As always, your tea also includes elegant canapés and sandwiches, with a selection of loose-leaf teas from our extensive collection.
