Flying Colours specialises in bringing “the world of luxury to the City”.
Since 2010, we have worked closely with some of the finest luxury companies in London, Paris and Edinburgh to create fun and stylish networking events for City professionals.
Events
Our events inspire by being a unique experience which money cannot buy. We have held a wide variety of events, from Ferragamo delighting guests with an exclusive preview of their Luisa Via Roma x British Vogue Capsule collection, only available in two stores globally; Dana Thomas, expert author on sustainability in conversation with Aude Vergne, CSR Director of Chloé through to award-winning photographer Henley Spiers enthralling guests with the art of underwater photography at Blancpain.
Recent events include De Beers diamond expert Andrew Coxon, hosting a ‘Diamond Masterclass’; Benoit Büttner narrating the history of their iconic trench coach in Burberry’s new flagship store on the Avenue Montaigne and Montblanc expert Simon Weir giving guests an insight into the heritage of Montblanc and introducing the stunning Montblanc High Artistry Collection.
Attendees
Guests are selected from a range of City institutions including leading banks, hedge funds, accountancy firms, Fintech, Telecoms and law practices. Guests do not pay to attend an event. “Once again I found the other women a joy to meet and am so pleased to have found a network that seems to fit exactly with where I am and also that has a sensible size number. I have been to networking events in the past that have so many women members in it is impossible to build relationships, whereas I am already re-meeting and networking with women again at your events.” Director at Barclays Wealth and Investment Management.
