Location

Braemar Village Hall

The Festival of Fashion 2025 opened with a compelling in-conversation event honouring the extraordinary creative legacy of Frances Farquharson of Invercauld and Braemar Castle. Her influence across fashion, journalism, high society and enterprise set the tone for a weekend celebrating bold ideas and enduring style.

Lydia Slater, Delphine Bellini and Sonnet Stanfill came together to explore the creative friendship between Frances and Elsa Schiaparelli, reflecting on its ties to the art world and Harper’s Bazaar. The discussion highlighted the continued relevance of Schiaparelli’s radical vision, now reimagined by Creative Director Daniel Roseberry.
