THE ART OF AFTERNOON TEA, Harvey Nichols Edinburgh


Join Harvey Nichols Edinburgh for an exclusive guided tour of two Edinburgh Art Festival exhibitions, followed by an exquisite afternoon tea at the Forth Floor Restaurant with an art-inspired menu.

Starting at the City Art Centre with an introduction to Coming into Fashion, A Century of Photography at Conde Nast, you can view the images that were responsible for making fashion an art form, including works by Cecil Beaton, Helmut Newton, Corinne Day and Mario Testino.

The first major museum retrospective of this highly influential artist’s photographic portraits, the exhibition includes his iconic images of Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Ernest Hemingway and of his muses Lee Miller and Kiki de Montparnasse.
