Over the years it is estimated that Charles and Patricia Lester have featured in anything around 150 publications world wide. That is not including occasions when people like Elizabeth Taylor has been seen wearing one outfit or another at some special event.  We thought that people would be interested to see some of the press features which have stored in our archives.
  • Press Features

    orient-express-mag-5A small selection of some of the feature articles and mentions in both magazines and broad sheet publications. Some are glossy magazine pages which showcase several designers work whilst others are full page articles about the Lesters, their ideas, lifestyle, inspirations and the work that they do. This is only just scratching the surface there are boxes of press clippings in the attic but we hope over time that we will be able to publish it all.

    Quite a bit of the press coverage we have received over the years, has been as a result of conversations with editors and journalists who are working on particular projects. There is a great deal that we have not known about until someone alerts us to the fact that something has been included in an aritcle somewhere. it is not unusual for us to receive (sometimes anonymously) clippings which have been carefully folded in an envelope and posted to us.

    None of them have been published in any order - no doubt we will at some point put them into some sort of order - perhaps chronologically so that you can see the progress over the years.

     

     

     

     

  • Celebrities in the Press

    chello-elizabeth-taylorCharles and Patricia Lester have been fortunate enough to dress some extraordinarily talented people and consquently many of them are celebrities in their own right. There are actually too many to include but we have started to publish a few press pictures that we have just to give you a taster. There are many many more but we don't always get copies of the publications and there have been numerous occasions when we are not even aware that has an outfit of ours. We never pay anyone to wear anything. All the celebrities who have been seen enjoying our clothes have done so through their own choice and have paid us (or the stores) for the privilege. We consider it a great honour to have been selected above any other designer.
