✨ MEET OUR LIVE AUCTIONEER — EDWARD RISING ✨
We are delighted to welcome the brilliant Edward Rising to THIS IS ICON for what promises to be a very special live auction.
With decades of experience across fine art, classic cars and charity fundraising, Edward began his auction career with Phillips Auctioneers before going on to become a Senior Auctioneer at Sotheby’s, where he conducted some of their highest-profile sales — including the collection of the late Gianni Versace. His career has since taken him around the world, conducting auctions in London, Hong Kong, Dubai, Doha and beyond.
Renowned for his energy, wit and incredible ability to work a room, Edward has also dedicated a significant part of his career to charity auctions, helping organisations raise extraordinary sums for important causes.
Tomorrow night, Edward will take to the stage at THIS IS ICON | London Fashion Week to conduct our LIVE AUCTION, featuring some fabulous and very special pieces and experiences.
Every bid will help us raise vital funds to support the work of This Is Icon CIC and our ongoing mission to create opportunities, champion emerging talent and make a positive impact through fashion, music and the creative industries.
Get those bidding hands ready… 🔨✨
This is more than a fashion show. This is THIS IS ICON.
