Vivienne Westwood at Cole & Son




Whenever I’ve seen pictures of Joe Corre’s apartment, I’ve always lusted over the Vivienne Westwood squiggle print writ large on wallpaper and soft furnishings. Now the wallpaper is available to buy from Cole & Son. Not sure I’d put *that* chair in front of it but what the hey, the wall rocks.





PS, you can get the matching squiggle rug here.



It’s here: Twin magazine




Launching this week is bi-yearly mag, Twin from (one of) the makers of Lula. As much as I’m loathe to tag it ‘Lula mark two’ – there’s nothing worse for a new launch than being compared to something else – it does have the whiff of an edgier Lula girl, but there’s nowt wrong with that in my book. Admittedly, I’ve only had a glimse of some photos and their online content thus far but with Lula’s former founder and creative director Becky Smith at the steering wheel it looks to be a soaraway success. Tantalising my tastebuds so far are the prospect of writing by Miranda July, photography by Garance Doré and Todd Selby and a feature on Peter Blake and his illustrator daughter, Rose. Plus, how can I not be excited by the thought of a Mari Sarai fashion shoot with balloons?


Twin is embracing the digital revolution head on with behind-the-scenes videos and other exclusive online content in addition to the magazine which is actually a Self Service-esque hard-back book (and it’s book-priced at £15). There seem to be a few of these hardback mags emerging, perhaps a subconscious suggestion that they are, like books, worth keeping as precious objets and aren’t the ephemeral buy-now-throw-tomorrow magazines of yore. Coffee-table magazines, perhaps?
Twin will be sold at selected posh fashiony shops as well as here.
