Guests were welcomed in to an extraordinary evening, in a fantasy
landscape echoing the English countryside, the concept for which was
taken from Vertu's vibrant new advertising campaign shot by renowned
photographer Kristian Schuller. Headlining the evening's
entertainment were Goldfrapp, who treated guests to a fabulous set,
including tracks from their recently released album, Tales of Us. The
glamorous evening event was attended by a whole host of international
guests from across the worlds of art, fashion and design including
Alison Goldfrapp, Dylan Jones, Caroline Rush, Tony Chambers, Emma
McQuiston, Nicholas Coleridge and Melissa Odabash.

The evening was hosted by Vertu Chief Executive Officer,
Massimiliano Pogliani, who commented: "We are delighted to showcase
the new Constellation at this global launch in London, the first in a
series of launch events that will take place around the world over
the coming weeks. This is a period of positive transformation for the
company. Vertu is on an incredible journey that sees us build on our
heritage while fundamentally reshaping the brand for future growth."

of the iconic 'Signature' phone in 2002. Since then it has dominated
the category that it created, despite competition from many larger
brands over the years. Each phone is handmade in a state-of-the-art
facility in Hampshire, England, and on completion is signed by the
craftsman that created it - an indication of the passion, pride and
dedication that goes into each product. With the launch of
Constellation, a modern smartphone that combines expertise in fine
materials, craftsmanship, technology and services, Vertu is
showcasing a contemporary form that has been designed and engineered
to appeal equally to the male and female customer worldwide.
