PATRICK MCDOWELL’S - ORPHEUS BALL
In February 2024 I had the privilege of attending Patrick McDowell’s ‘Orpheus Ball’ during London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2024 at The Guildhall School of Music. It was a dramatic and elegant show that combined classical music, and atmospheric lighting with a beautiful collection of clothes and one-off wearable pieces made from old musical instruments. Patrick, along with his creative team and a group of talented students from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, crafted a truly unforgettable experience.
