| CURRENT OBJECT FETISH | |
 | |
 For A/W 2010, Karl Lagerfeld took his Chanel audience at the Grand Palais in Paris to a Winter Wonderland - complete with polar bears (fake) and icebergs (very real). Faux-fur boots, heavy coats, and fierce tweed suits dominated the runway, while Lagerfeld's sly witticisms could be seen in the accessories, with ice blocks hewn into haute couture clutches. We snagged one for this week's Object Fetish, showcased alongside a sensational beauty concept from ground-breaking manicurist Marian Newman.[more] | |

| IN THE SHOP KATE 2006 | |
| | |
 In 2006, guest-editor Giorgio Armani commissioned Nick Knight to shoot the cover of a section of London's Independent newspaper dedicated to the fight against AIDS in Africa. For the subversive, harrowing portrait, Knight captured Kate Moss in the nude, with little adornment - except for the fact that Moss appears to have been painted black, covering every visible inch of her skin. But appearances, as they say, can be deceiving: not a drop of paint was on Moss. Knight deepened the colour contrast in the print to achieve his effects. A call to action for Armani and Knight, this seminal piece took one of the most famous faces in the world and let her represent Africa by declaring solidarity with Africa. Now on view for the first time in our Bruton Place headquarters, the work has the same poignant effect; provoking concern for an issue, a group of people and a pandemic that most of us are as far removed from as Moss is.

| FROM THE ARCHIVE SCORE | |
| | |
 The World Cup is just peeking around the corner, and there is no better time to look back at Score, Philip Treacy’s debut collaboration with sportswear label UMBRO for A/W 2006. Elaborating on the concept of ‘luxury sportswear,’ Treacy called dancers, gymnasts and Premiership footballer David James to join fashion icons including Linda Evangelista and Grace Jones to participate in a shoot styled by Judy Blame. Paying homage to the multiple camera technique of Eadweard Muybridge, Nick Knight explored the relation between sport and fashion, showcased here in short films and galleries of the live fashion event.

Oh Vienna!  Maybe our Object Fetish items have given you a slight indication of my taste for a bit of ornate embellishment - so the Palais Schönburg here in Vienna is pretty much my ideal wedding-cake of a European summer home. Fret not! I haven't won the lottery and upped sticks to this baroque bon-bon of a villa in the centre of Vienna... [more] | |
