The Berkeley London designer afternoon tea, Prêt-à-Portea, is inspired by the themes and colours of the fashion world. The menu is transformed every six months to follow the changing seasons in fashion.

The Spring/ Summer 2015 Prêt-à-Portea collection takes inspiration from an array of distinguished fashion designers with two special editions inspired by Alexander McQueen, paying homage to his celebrated Savage Beauty exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Further delectable details include a take on Anya Hindmarch’s Big Eye Collection handbags and Elie Saab’s Red Degrade Silk Georgette dress.

A mouth-watering selection of miniature savoury skewers, taster spoons, elegant canapés and tea sandwiches.

To celebrate the launch of the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum we have included two of his most iconic designs into the collection. The ‘armadillo’ shoes are transformed into a a heeled chocolate biscuit whilst the much adored feather Butterfly Hat by Philip Treacy for Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer Collection in 2008 is reinvented as a deliciously dark chocolate mousse with a chocolate miroir and delicate red sugar butterflies.
