Last month, we were back in Porto Cervo at the Rolls Royce Studio, hosting events to showcase the launch of two new RR models: the Wraith Dusk - silver with fetching purple ostrich skin interior and the Emerald Dawn – homage to Costa Smeralda of course.

Tim Everest had designed two outfits to pair with the cars and a third, a bold-checked silk/linen blend three-piece that referenced both cars for me to host in.

I’ll write a full report of Porto Cervo for How To Spend It at some point as it was the culmination of a series of events with Rolls Royce that celebrated not only new cars but also the exciting and tragically truncated life of Charles Rolls.

In the meantime few pictures from the various events are below – and for the Spanish speakers amongst you – ABC ran a story on the Studio in which both Tim and I feature.
