MEET THE PANEL
POLLY SAYER
Polly is a UK-based fashion creator, broadcaster for SheerLuxe and a 2025 bride. With over 350k Instagram followers, she shares her love of effortless, everyday style with her loyal audience. Known for her relatable approach to fashion, she mixes classic pieces with modern trends and has partnered with standout brands including Sézane, Free People, eBay, and Daisy London, with whom she has launched four sell-out jewellery capsule collections.
CELIA BURTON
London born Celia Burton follows in the footsteps of her late aunt, the legendary Punk and 80’s makeup artist Lynne Easton.
After leaving school at 17 with a total focus on makeup, Celia’s talent and passion led her to shoot an iD cover at the age of 21 and go on to collaborate with legendary photographers Juergen Teller, Nick Knight and Tim Walker very early in her career.
A pioneer of the less-is-more ’no make-up‘ look, Celia uses her tools to highlight rather than mask, using soft focus, colour and natural textures. Her gentle, yet bold style celebrates an individual’s natural beauty.
Fittingly, Celia is the European ambassador for cult US brand Glossier.
Celia regularly works on faces belonging to Adwoa Aboah, Greta Gerwig, Olivia Dean, Taylor Russell, Eve Hewson. She collaborates with brands such as Burberry, Chanel, The Row, Zara, De Beers, Rimmel and Sephora and photographers Jack Davison, Nadine Ijewere, Bibi Borthwick and Laura Coulson.

Having worked extensively on both the agency and brand sides, Leila brings a deep understanding of client needs and creative process, combining strategic thinking with a meticulous eye for detail. BYLG was born from her passion for production and belief that strong concepts and innovative design are essential to exceptional experiences, a philosophy that continues to guide the studio as it grows.
FIONA FLEUR
Fiona Fleur is the British floral design house quietly redefining contemporary floristry through a distinctly artistic and intuitive approach. Founded in 2019 by British designer Fiona, the female-led brand is based in the heart of London and has quickly become known for its sculptural, emotive arrangements that blur the line between floristry and fine art.
With no formal training in floristry, Fiona draws inspiration from the natural world, architecture, and the world of design. Her compositions are instinctive and highly personal-crafted to the character and energy of the individual or brand they are created for. With an eye for detail and a passion for storytelling through flowers, Fiona combines artistry with innovation, creating designs that are both elegant and emotive.
Today, Fiona Fleur is more than a floral studio; it is a statement of modern British femininity - untrained yet refined, spontaneous yet sophisticated. At its core is a celebration of creative freedom, female entrepreneurship, and the enduring beauty of nature expressed through a unique lens.
