Some designs will include tailored suits from some of Savile Row’s fi nest, checks and tweeds from the likes of Gieves & Hawkes and tailored dresses from the Royal Courtier Stewart Parvin.

T e exploration of design and technology does not end with the Reinvention catwalk as Bentley will be displaying a collection of their most iconic vehicles from their vault. Amongst these vehicles will be the luxurious R-Type Continental, a car which was originally at its pinnacle during the coronation in 1953.
