In Town: London’s 2008 debutante season begins

To mark the start of London's debutante season, a host of well-bred young ladies in fine frocks made their way to the Imperial War Museum on Thursday night for The Berkeley Dress Show 2008. This annual charity ball - known as the 'curtain raiser' for the run of posh parties that lasts throughout the summer - was the perfect excuse for a fancy dinner and a fashion show where the 'it' girls of the future got to strut their expensive stuff on the catwalk. Debs included Elena Lapteva (left) and Sarah MacFarlane (right).
