Quote of the day



‘One night, he [Stephen Sprouse] phoned up and said, “I’ve got a present for you. Can I drop it over?” And he came over with an “Iggy on the Cross” painting. It was fantastic. I lined the painting in black lights so it would glow and my neighbours from across the street started complaining because they could see it through the window and thought it was blasphemous. I was like, “Whatever.” And I just kept the curtains drawn from then on.’
Kate Moss remembers Stephen Sprouse in the newly published Rizzoli book

Let’s hear it for the nice guy…



There’s something I just like about Kanye. He gets a bad rap sometimes (LV internship furore anyone?) but deep down he’s into design so I feel an affinity. He only properly registered on my radar when I saw his house featured in Harpers Bazaar – remember?

Anyway, a friend of mine who works for Wallpaper just sent me this email:

“Our photography director hung out with Kanye at our recent shoot and we filmed him for an upcoming video story on wallpaper.com. His people said he’s avail for 10 mins tops, but he ended up hanging out and being interviewed for ages – then he invited our people to his show and offered to pay for the new Eurostar tickets so they could stay in Paris!”

Sweet no?

Quote of the day



“She is more friendly now, eating her pasta, flicking her hair. But it’s hard to ignore the feeling that she thinks I am a moron. It’s there in the tone of her voice which, faced with my questions, my tentatively offered opinions, is often scornful; and it’s there in her face, which, though so young and so baby-soft, is mostly held in a rictus of disparagement.”
Journalist Rachel Cooke, on interviewing Peaches Geldof in Observer Woman

Roll on Spring





Uniqlo are definitely pushing the Paninaro look judging from these posters at Oxford Circus station (above), not to mention the new Spring-Summer collection (below).




All these mouthwatering smoothie-coloured togs really do make me want to don some ankle-length jeans, Burlington socks, Sebago boating shoes and aviators, jump on a scooter and ride off into the nearest Pet Shop Boys video. Oh to be sixteen again…
