Quote of the day: André Leon Talley



Andre Leon Talley

“This is too much. What story do we need to be working on, children? What story? Let’s get cracking, darlings, on fur. Fuh, fuh, fuh. One must set the mood around the fuh and the heels, the hair, the skin, the nipples under the fuh, the hair around the nipples, the fuh clinging to the nipples, sweat, oysters, champagne, régence!”
André Leon Talley, The New Yorker

An oldie but goodie, don’t sleep on this fabulous (yet bittersweet) Hilton Als 1994 profile on the late, great André Leon Talley

Kristin Drab for Harper’s Bazaar October issue



Boo George Kristin Drab Harpers Bazaar October 24

This is my favourite autumn editorial so far. Very demure, very…oh never mind!

This is a shoot celebrating the classic gentlewoman tropes of Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking. But I like the minimalist, dishevelled twist.

Photographer Boo George and stylist Cathy Kasterine make the dream team, showing polished blouses, slip dresses and tailoring by Ralph Lauren, Celine and Carven*, accessorised with sculptural Gucci cuffs* as weighty as the De Beers diamonds are delicate.

Glossy leather Miu Miu gloves* and Gucci‘s thigh-high riding boots* add another dimension of youthful nonchalance but the masterstroke is the casting of Kristin Drab with her visible roots, bleached brows and imperfect teeth. Yves would surely approve.

Quote of the Day: Véronique Nichanian



Veronique Nichanian Rob Report

“A beautiful fashion photo does not mean beautiful clothes.”
Artistic director of the Hermès men’s universe, Véronique Nichanian, Rob Report

It was a treat to read this profile of Hermès artistic director of the men’s universe, Véronique Nichanian in Robb Report. At 36 years and counting, she’s the longest-serving creative director in fashion who doesn’t have her name above the shop. Especially cute is her story of designing a striped cashmere rugby shirt for David Hockney. (more…)

Ilona Maher for Sports Illustrated



Ilona Maher Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover

When I first clocked Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher on TikTok during the 2020 Olympics, I thought, ‘this girl needs an Allure cover!’ Not just for her gorgeous looks and penchant for a red lip, but for her overall feelgood vibes and body positivity. (more…)
