PIPPA VOSPER
Pippa is a stylist, brand consultant, spin instructor and now host of the most fabulous designer sales in London thanks to her store, RSPV. Proof of her carefully curated designer edit was no more evident than when queues reached round the block for 3 days at a recent Self Portrait sale. This Christmas she’s turning her hand to more philanthropic endeavors and has closed up shop for the month of December to collect toys for children less fortunate.
First thing you do when you wake up?
I try to wake before my husband and son and go for a run along the Thames, it’s my time to meditate and find focus for the day.
Where will you be this Christmas?
With a Swedish husband and my family in Denmark, usually we are in Scandinavia, but this year will be entertaining friends who have moved here from New York on Christmas Day in London.
How does your family celebrate?
With my husband being Swedish, his Christmas Day is my Christmas Eve, so now we have two official Christmases at home. I am unsure I will ever get used to his smörgåsbord as a Christmas dinner on the 24th December, so very much look forward to an enormous (and very British) lunch on Christmas Day, followed by a long walk in Richmond Park.
Top tip for entertaining?
No demands on your guests, no stress and lots of good wine!
What’s your poison?
An exceptional Margarita.
Who can we get excited about seeing in RSPV next year?
I never tell! I have my favourites that I have hosted multiple times since launching the business almost two years ago and I would love to host again, but there are also a few exciting designers who have approached me about hosting their sample sales in 2017, so stay tuned!
