By far the biggest and best party in the Hill area recently was the TAG Heuer Strength & Beauty party at the Royal College of Art in Kensington Gore. Hosted by TAG Heuer Chief Executive Jean-Marc Lacave and photographer Mary McCartney, the party celebrated a photography project designed to raises funds for the United Nations Development Fund for Women through a series of 35 beautiful portraits of exceptional women.
