AN YOU FEEL IT? A CHANGE IS IN THE AIR – AND WE’RE NOT REFERRING TO THE SEASONS. The newspapers may be awash with stories of insidious sexual harassment and a gender pay gap that just won’t quit, but the recent 75th Golden Globes signified a renewed sense of hope. The black-out dress code and Oprah’s ‘hope for a brighter morning’ both lending greater reach and a splash of Hollywood glamour to fresh feminist movements such as #MeToo and #TimesUp – both of which look set to stay.

To celebrate this new dawn, this issue focuses on incredible and inspiring women who are each doing it their way. We take a look at artist Gillian Wearing’s statue of suffragist Millicent Fawcett, the first of a female and the first by a female to be erected in Parliament Square (p23); singer Paloma Faith reveals how motherhood, Grenfell and Trump inspired her latest album (p30); Amber Anderson talks about transitioning from model to actor on her own terms – and her encounter with Harvey Weinstein (p48); Flora Alexandra Ogilvy tells us how she has established an art empire at the tender age of 23 (p24) plus fashion designer Mary Katrantzou introduces her Resort 2018 collection, shot by game-changing photographer Ellen Von Unwerth (p40).

We also discover how Michelin-starred chef Massimo Bottura is tackling food waste (p82), the art of Ayurvedic cooking with Jasmine Hemsley (p74) and why jewellery designer Lara Bohinc’s luxe homewares are topping wish lists everywhere (p108). And for anyone in need of a shopping fix, we’ve got the lowdown on the new Resort collections, the ultimate classic watches (p62), the finest fragrances (p70), plus ruby and diamond jewellery to make you swoon (p61).

Enjoy the issue.

All Too Human: Bacon, Freud and a Century of Painting Life Francis Bacon - Study for Portrait of Lucian Freud

TATE BRITAIN

28 FEBRUARY-27 AUGUST

A long-running exhibition, Tate Britain’s All Too Human tells the story of figurative painting in Britain across the 20th century through more than 100 pieces of art. The works of heavyweights Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon are at its core and, among a number of pieces to be displayed for the first time in decades, is this 1964 portrait of Freud painted

by Bacon. The pair had a famously complex relationship that ran the gamut from deep kinship to bitter rivalry. Using their influence as a centre-point, the show extends its reach to notable contemporaries including Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff and RB Kitaj, all of whom sought new ways to depict the human condition through paint. tate.org.uk

Don't miss 100 YEARS CENTENARY

A fine figure At long last, leading suffragist Millicent Fawcett takes her place among the male statues of Parliament Square Words RACHEL WARD

T

his February a peaceful and long overdue revolution is set to take place on London’s Parliament Square as the first commemorative statue of a woman takes its position among a multitude of males.

A bronze casting of Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett (1847-1929), the feminist and constitutional campaigner, its unveiling will commemorate 100 years of women’s suffrage.

Perhaps a less well-known figure than say Emmeline Pankhurst, Fawcett defined herself as a suffragist and advocated peaceful and legal means as opposed to

AGENDA JAN RW.indd 23

the more militant approach of the suffragettes, whose mantra was ‘deeds not words’. A key figure in the movement from the beginning to the end, Fawcett helped secure the voting rights of women of property over the age of 30 in the 1918 Representation of the People Act and continued to campaign tirelessly until women were given electoral equality with men in 1928.

The driving force behind Fawcett’s statue is journalist and activist Caroline Criado-Perez, who also successfully campaigned to feature Jane Austen on £10 bank notes.

It was during a jog through Parliament Square in May 2016 when she noticed that the 11 existing statues, Nelson Mandela and Sir Winston Churchill amongst them, were all male. Compelled to start a petition, she quickly attracted more than 84,000 signatures and high-profile supporters such as JK Rowling and Emma Watson.

THEGLOSSARYMAGAZINE.COM

The resulting commission was given to Turner Prize-winning artist Gillian Wearing, who will simultaneously become the first female artist to create a statue for the iconic square. Her sculpture will portray Fawcett in 1897 at the age of 50, the year the non-violent National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies of which she was leader for more than 20 years, was founded.

Stood defiantly facing Parliament, the statue will show the suffragist holding a placard that reads ‘Courage calls to courage everywhere’, a rallying cry from a speech Fawcett gave after the infamous death of campaigner Emily Wilding Davison at the Epsom Derby in 1913. In the spirit of inclusivity, the plinth will also name-check 52 other suffrage campaigners (including a couple of men) who all pushed for votes for women.

Today, it’s strange to think that women once had no place in politics, yet out of 650 MPs elected in 2017 only 208 were female – and that was a record breaker. So while the statue of Fawcett is a welcome celebration of how far we’ve come in the quest for equality, let it also serve as a reminder of how far we’ve yet to go. fawcettsociety.org.uk

ART is A CEO at the age of 23 and 45th in line to the throne… Meet curator, influencer and Arteviste founder Flora Alexandra Ogilvy Words BEVERLEY D’SILVA Photography ANDREW GOUGH

F

LORA ALEXANDRA OGILVY STRIDES IN TO THE DOT PROJECT GALLERY, looking fresh as fresh could be. Outside, frozen sleet coats the Fulham Road, and the air is bitterly crisp in sub-zero temperatures. Ogilvy, meanwhile, seems impervious to the cold climate.

The wintry weather enveloping London seems entirely appropriate, given the title of the new group art exhibition I’m here to discuss: Love In A Cold Climate. The show is curated by Ogilvy and India Whalley, founder of The Dot Project, a beautiful space that reflects Ogilvy’s interior design background. It features six artists – Scarlett Bowman, Sang Woo Kim, Milla Eastwood, Jack Penny, Romana Londi and Maximilian Magnus – and has attracted great reviews.

Ogilvy, who’s only just turned 23, founded Arteviste, a digital platform that focuses on emerging artists. She talks affectionately of the artwork around us, referring to them as if they’re friends – which in a way they are, as the artists have become great companions.

“I’ve known Jack Penny and Scarlett Bowman forever,” she says. “The others are now part of my life. My work is about the friendship – I’m not in it for the money.”

We take in some of the works. Jack Penny, 29, was born in Chichester and still works out of west Sussex. The show features some riotously vibrant and spontaneous canvases, heavy with turquoise and salmon-pink hues, with nods to Fauvism and Fernand Leger.

Penny’s painting is “motivated by a search for authenticity. Jack invites the audience to explore, challenge and react to the work,” says Ogilvy.

Scarlett Bowman, 32, was born and works in London. She creates collages from sculptural fragments to process the visual world. “There is so much information in the world; the assemblage process enables me to slow down and figure out what is in front of me.”

There’s the sweet, childlike works of Milla Eastwood, 27, whose more abstract compositions have a “more suggestive relation to drawing”. The London-based artist says her approach is to “pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry. Keep things clean and unencumbered, but don’t sterilise”.

Sang Woo Kim, 23, has been snapped up by the fashion world. Kim has modelled for Burberry and been filmed as Cara Delevingne’s lover for a DKNY campaign. However, art has stolen his heart: his exciting abstract, textured paintings riff on a fractured

identity from being born in Seoul and raised in London.

The show also features Italian Romana Londi, whose paintings play with the effects of light and UV rays, and whose canvases become all encompassing. And Maximilian Magnus, 33, from Bavaria, Germany, the maker of emotional, swirling abstract expressionist shapes.

Love In A Cold Climate is in line with both Ogilvy and Whalley’s remit: to inspire a new generation of young collectors while connecting to seasoned art professionals.

Arteviste’s ‘digital platform’ tagline has been instrumental: all six artists in the show were found through Instagram. “We are celebrating the fact our generation is empowered by technology and can use the internet, Instagram, Twitter [and] Facebook to get forward in life,” says Ogilvy.

While all these artists are young, she points out: “It’s not about age, it’s more that all the artists we work with are very active digitally, on the scene, with a good online presence.”

Kim, for example, has around 84,000 followers on Instagram. “The fact they’re already out there online makes them very easy for us to work with.” Ogilvy’s not

Page 26

FLORA ALEXANDRA OGILVY_RW.indd 26

making money from the artists – “It’s more about developing friendships with them” – she earns a living by giving lectures on art and business, and collaborating with established art organisations, such as Soho House, Artnet, and Frieze.

“Although I am young myself I like to talk to young people about how to be more proactive in building an online presence and using technology to further their careers.” She has lectured on this at the Courtauld Institute, Imperial College and Christie’s, and is happy that it “always attracts passionate young people as well as more established figures who want to get involved”.

The show’s title, a reference to the 1949 Nancy Mitford novel – a funny, subversive tale about aristocratic women – also brings us to Ogilvy’s own aristocratic background.

She grew up in Scotland, and is the daughter of James and Julia Ogilvy. Her father is one of the Queen’s godsons, and his parents were the late Sir Angus Ogilvy and Princess Alexandra. She is the Queen’s second cousin twice removed (if you can follow that genetic conundrum, you’re a better person than I). She is 45th in line to the throne. You may have seen Ogilvy on the royal balcony

beside Prince Harry and Camilla and other royals. But when asked about her family, she seems ill at ease and unhappy about discussing family matters.

“It [the aristocracy] is wonderful to be part of but it is quite separate from my working life in the art world and it doesn’t affect anything.”

One wonders whether she has grown careful since she posted a picture on social media in May last year, depicting her great-uncles Prince Michael and the Duke of Kent, having tea at the Richmond Park house of their sister, her grandmother, Princess Alexandra. The picture is still out there on the internet. It was probably an innocent move on her part – just one image among myriad posts – but one can imagine it might not have gone down well. Hence her caution around anything to do with her aristocratic connections.

Ogilvy is, however, happy to mention Timothy Taylor, her gallerist cousin, and actress/writer Sophie Windsor, and her cousin Edward Downpatrick – “he’s helming an impressive lifestyle brand, FIDIR, in celebration of Scotland” – who she shares a flat with.

Whether she is a princess’ granddaughter or has an “honourable” title is beside the point. In the contemporary art world, she is already a reasonably well established. Given the volume of arts inter-views she conducts, talks she gives to A-listers and art dinners she has/is/will be hosting, maybe an appropriate title would be “the omnipresent Flora Ogilvy”.

discussions and supper clubs, in tandem with blue chip arts companies to “inspire and diversify their audiences as well as bringing them the inside track on the emerging art market, give an insider perspective, make the arts world more accessible. Everyone involved with Arteviste came from within the arts.”

Ogilvy and Whalley are on a mission to reinstate west London as a focal point for modern art: appropriate as Chelsea housed the first art studios in the 1870s; it was only in the past century that commercial enterprises forced artists out of the west end’s prime areas.

Ogilvy says: “We host a dinner once a month in artists’ studios and collectors’ homes, with that we are championing west London.” Portobello Road market and her friends there are “a huge part of my life”. Her day is indisputably crammed: “a huge part of it is being out and about, on the scene, talking to people”. I ask her whether she has time for a love relationship, and she rolls her eyes.“I can’t even think about going there!”

For her sanity, she begins the day at 6am with a workout at Box Clever Sports, a boxing gym close to her Notting Hill home.

“Those morning boxing workouts are a must for me. I need to stay strong and have stamina for the sort of work I do,” she says.

Then she goes home, turns off all devices and writes her journal in silence. “With my generation, it can be tempting to be on social media at all times, even through the night. We need to be more disciplined about technology.” She’s rigorous too about writing thank-you letters. “I write about 25 a week,

Page 28

FLORA ALEXANDRA OGILVY_RW.indd 28

thanking people for every event that I attend.”

She travels a lot but when in London, she organises her day “geographically – I do west, east, or central London. I have two days a week in Mayfair for meetings”. She does an artist studio or gallery visit by day, and openings and dinners, or music nights in the evening. “A huge amount of socialising happens in people’s homes. I now have so many friends on this scene, it feels a lot more relaxed”. Looking ahead, she’s working with Lamb Arts: “This month we’ll do a dinner for the brilliant photographer Kate Bellm, who’s based in New York and Mexico.”

While she finds the art world fairly egalitarian, she concedes: “Women do have to fight for their position in this industry. I often feel that being female and a bit younger, means I have to really assert myself.” London is especially supportive to women, she finds. “I’ve gotten to know brilliant women and we help each other.

There is a sisterhood that exists in the arts.”

Listing women she’s found inspiring, she begins a roll call – Ginevra Fiorentini, of Presenza; Stella Powell-Jones, theatre director; Petra Palumbo, the model and heiress; artist Faye Wei Wei… When she gets stuck she refers to her Instagram feed – which is endless – as an aide-mémoire.

She adds the Serpentine’s Yana Peel; designer Anya Hindmarch; Whistles supremo Lucille Lewin; gallerist Hannah Barry, and Isabel Ettedgui of Connolloy.

Last October, Arteviste collaborated with the luxury clothing and leather brand, and The New Craftsmen store on an event with Pedro Da Costa Felgueiras, a Portugueseborn paint specialist who revamped Connolly’s Mayfair headquarters. Ogilvy and her team also have an ongoing collaboration with Dolce and Gabbana – she has a six-month modelling contract with the brand, and wears their clothes and bags when giving talks. The team has also been dressed by Levi’s jeans for projects.

“Oh, how could I forget?” she exclaims.

‘I absolutely must also credit my parents for their fine example,” recalling that her father used to run Luxury Briefing, the monthly intelligence report, and her mother is now an author based at Harvard University. In the end, some of the best things do come down to family matters.

omehow, it seems appropriate that Paloma Faith should be dressed in floor-skimming deep-red velvet for breakfast. It’s one of London’s sunniest winter days, not nearly the weekend – just a Wednesday – but Faith, poised in a low-level armchair, looks like she’s about to go to the opera. We’re actually sitting in the library of Notting Hill member’s club The Electric, a windowless room of warmwhite lamps, wood panelling and opulent drapes. Faith is here for a morning of interviews, the poached eggs are on their way and very soon the impractically small round table between us will pile up with china dishes and teapots.

The dress, a high-necked, long-sleeved vintage affair trimmed with feathers and paired with mock snakeskin boots, feels typical. Faith is the woman you’d say is never knowingly underdressed, although the musician argues that’s no longer the case. “Having a baby completely interferes with fashion,” she says, rolling her eyes, beaming the trademark wide grin, smoothing down hastily blow dried hair. These days the scramble of getting to work without childcare could not be more real. “One minute I am in my pyjamas doing toast for the baby,” she grins, “the next I’m supposed to be here.”

The past 12 months or so have been personally defining for Faith.

After years of talking about the fact she wanted children, she became a mother in November 2016, at 35.

“It changed everything,” she says.

“Even the way I sing is different now: it’s probably psychological, but my voice has opened up in a different way. I feel completely strengthened by it.”

Birth itself was “hell”, and after a 20hour labour that ended in an emergency C-section, Faith publicly thanked the NHS at London’s University College Hospital. It then emerged that she had an infection in her womb. “It was quite a bad time,” she remembers of the months that followed. “I felt really set back by it. I breast fed for five months and that was hard because I was ill. But it was longer before I was back to myself. Things like eating a healthy diet… I couldn’t get my head around that for ages.

Or going to the gym…” she pulls a face.

“Everything new mums go through: at one point I was just sitting there thinking, ‘How am I going to be a person any more?’”

She chuckles now, a laugh as distinctive as the east London inflection to her voice,

PALOMA FAITH_JN.indd 33

and at maximum capacity, a full-on cackle. Later she will tell a humorous anecdote about couriering breast milk from a recording studio to her house. But there’s an undercurrent of anxiety during our interview, and accompanying her return to the spotlight. When we meet, she’s about to release The Architect, her first album in three years. It’s a record she started writing before she fell pregnant and finished soon after the baby arrived, because she wanted to make a comeback straight after her maternity leave.

“I needed to get back to work because I’m the breadwinner in my family,” she says now, explaining that her partner, French artist Leyman Lahcine, is currently interning at a fashion-design company. “But also, I know how easy it is to be forgotten in this industry.”

Did she really worry about taking time off, three triple-platinum selling albums in?

“Yeah. I remember being with my

“I wanted to write this album because I think we’re in a really transitional moment politically and socially" accountant one day on maternity leave, and I kept making these little asides, ‘If I ever get to work again…’ And eventually he said, ‘Paloma, do you know my wife left her job to have a baby, had all these ideas on maternity leave and went back to the company as a director? People do it.’ And to be honest, that sort of got my head in gear.”

Faith’s music is usually high drama. In the past, she has written candidly about love and heartbreak; the signature of her songs is soulful poignancy. The Architect is a departure from her usual style in that it’s rooted in politics, taking in everything from the refugee crisis to Brexit. Her new single, ‘Guilty’, is addressed to those who voted leave and regretted it.

“I wanted to write this album because I think we’re in a really transitional moment politically and socially,” she says. “But also, there aren’t many women addressing it in pop music. Lily Allen used to do a

THEGLOSSARYMAGAZINE.COM

little bit of social commentary about the environment she was in and Kate Nash was in a punk band that nobody really knew about, but the examples are actually few and far between.”

When planning the album, she looked back to the ’60s and ’70s. “My influences are fairly predictable, much the same as lots of my peers: Billie Holiday, Nina Simon, Etta James, Carole King. The reason I love their songs so much is because they’re saying something about their social climate.”

But the feel of the new album is contemporary, and her songs could easily be mistaken for odes to exes. Faith says this was intentional: “I made a conscious effort to make it sound commercial, so that people still felt close to it.”

Most of the time she was writing, she was pregnant. “Writing with a baby growing inside you makes it feel personal. It got me thinking about all the qualities I wanted my child to have and that one day they were going to get to listen to it.” It’s why she called the record The Architect, and why the overall theme became social responsibility. “Because otherwise, whose responsibility is all this stuff ? It’s the police, it’s the community, it’s parenting. But it’s not just one person’s – it’s collective. It’s all of us.”

She cites the ongoing investigation into the Grenfell Tower fire as a recent example. “People say, ‘Oh, it’s not my fault,’ but it never is one person’s fault. That’s why inevitably the court is not going to conclude anything.”

And it’s the same with the #MeToo movement that has emerged since the claims of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults: “We do have a responsibility because somehow our culture accepts builders who whistle at women, and someone grabbing someone’s bum when they’re a bit drunk. That’s everyday sexism and that’s where it begins.”

Writing the album made her think about how to parent. Faith says she has declined to reveal the sex or name of her baby because she’d rather their life remain private. Recently, she told a journalist that she had decided to raise her child as “gender neutral” – a term she now regrets because she used it in the wrong context.

“What I meant was that I don’t believe in giving my child gender-specific toys. I want to make everything available because

23/01/2018 11:31

FA S H I O N

I don’t want to enforce any sexist stereotypes.” It’s also the reason she won’t dress her baby in pink or blue. “Besides the fact I don’t even think it looks cute. I actually think it looks a bit grim,” she says.

As a kid, she was a tomboy. “I never used to wear dresses. I hated dolls. But my style is quite feminine now.” She grew up on a council estate in Hackney, to a single parent mother, and has always been a bargain hunter. “I shop a lot but it’s mainly vintage” she explains.

In fact, when she’s bought expensive things, it’s usually been under the influence of other people. Her personal assistant sent her to Selfridges after she won a BRIT (for Best Female Solo Artist in 2015), and she nearly bought a pair of Manolo heels.

“But most of the time I borrow things, and

Page 34

PALOMA FAITH_JN.indd 34

to be honest, I spend my money on experiences.” If she could escape London tomorrow, she’d go back to the Maldives. “It was the height of luxury.

Everything you looked at was like a screensaver.” She smiles. “But that’s unlikely right at the moment.”

Things are different now, with a baby.

These days she rarely goes out on the town, preferring to stay in and catch up on sleep. Never in her life has she watched so much television. “I’m obsessed with Louis Theroux’s series. I’m good friends with Kayvan Novak, who’s the Fonejacker, and he leaves me voice notes pretending to be Louis walking around my house. He’ll go, ‘‘Paloma’s being a bit volatile today…’” she giggles.

Soon the tide will turn again. In March, Faith will embark on a nationwide arena

tour, starting in Leeds and moving around the country for a month. Shortly after we meet, The Architect sails to number one in the charts. Her publicist sends me a note about how she’ll celebrate; it’s the first time one of her albums has ever hit the top spot. She hadn’t planned to go out, but by pure coincidence they’ve got a babysitter for the night.

“The whole time I was thinking about releasing another new album, I was thinking how do I do both? How do I have a baby and sing?” I remember her saying to me. As it turns out, and if the force of her determination was anything to go by, she needn’t have been so worried.

ADDESDON MANOR IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ESTATE,” said Mary Katrantzou, dressed in her signature black and flanked either side by three couture dresses she designed for the ‘Creatures & Creations’ exhibition in Buckinghamshire.

One gown, titled the 'Delias', was made to look like butterfly wings; the lightness and movement of the flutter conveyed through 11 layers of whisper-thin, accordion-pleat lamé spun with metallic threads. Another – the Papillon – was a kaleidoscopic collage of entomology, upon which insects were handcrafted from thousands of glinting crystals.

Katrantzou had been invited by the current baron, Jacob Rothschild, to participate in the exhibition; the Greek designer was tasked with reinterpreting the late Walter Rothschild’s phenomenal zoological collection in garment form. Her gowns were displayed throughout the manor house, alongside Rothschild’s tropical taxidermies and works by digital artist Platon H. The exhibit, held from June to October last year, was cohosted by the Natural History Museum. Katrantzou’s involvement made perfect sense: if anyone can capture the vitality of a stuffed bird, it’s Mary. The designer, who founded her label in 2008, has been renowned for her hyper real prints ever since she sent her collection of Trompe L’Oeil dresses down the runway in her Central Saint Martins graduate show. “Being invited by Lord Rothschild is a huge honour,” she said.

But Katrantzou’s dalliance with the Rothschilds did not end there. She remained inspired by the zoologist and, realising the potential for further creations, delved deeper still into Rothschild’s natural habitat for her Resort 2018 collection. That Katrantzou’s earliest memory of London is of being bewitched by London Zoo aged seven – a place she has previously described as a ‘magical world’ – is also relevant.

It’s no surprise that Rothschild –and Waddesdon Manor –put Katrantzou’s printthinking mind into overdrive. A family of German origin, the British Rothschilds were elevated to aristocratic status by Queen Victoria in 1847. One of the richest families in European nobility, the Rothschilds owned lavish chateaux and manor houses all over the world. Waddesdon, a neo-Renaissance country estate set in 6,000 acres, with its flocked wallpapers, fountains and endless rolling gardens, was the family home, built to entertain high society dukes and debutantes.

But it was Walter Rothschild, the second Baron Rothschild, that really captivated Katrantzou. An eccentric Dr Dolittle of sorts, as a child in Victorian England, he kept kangaroos and exotic birds as pets. As an adult, he once mounted a tortoise to prove they could be trained, and regularly rode a carriage drawn by zebras. Rothschild became a natural scientist of such repute that many newly discovered species were named after him, including reptiles, millipedes and even a giraffe.

During his life, Rothschild amassed the biggest zoological collection ever owned by a private individual; it included millions of butterflies and hundreds of thousands of birds of paradise and beetles. It was here that Katrantzou took inspiration for Resort.

The archive “opened up a huge spectrum for possibility, [allowing me to] create surrealism out of realism and possibility out of impossibility,” says Katrantzou, who spent hours analysing the specimens within Rothschild’s collection to reinterpret them into prints. “Digital printing allows me to experiment with print in a way that fine art and other methods could not,” she says. “Print can filter beauty found in design in a subversive way.”

It’s a time-consuming craft: Katrantzou’s patterns famously take four days each to create.

For Resort 2018 – across tulles and iridescent jacquards – feathers, fish scales and snake skins were printed and embroidered in beads and sequins, each sewn by hand.

Katrantzou works with teams of artisans in both London and India to produce the delicate handwork found in her collections. So important is craft to her designs, she employs a small number of in-house embroiderers at her north London studio, and is one of the few designers to do so. Most designers outsource production – even for samples – to India, where handcraft is not only cherished, but taught. But for Katrantzou, it’s essential to have a team on hand to experiment with embroidery.

The designer also employs a number of freelance craftsmen-and-women in the run up

to each runway show, working with an expanded team of around 15 embroiderers each season to produce her collections.

“The finish hand embroidery offers is something a machine cannot replicate,” says Katrantzou. “It allows you to weave a bespoke story – each piece is unique: I want to change perceptions of it,” she says, of her use of sparkle to reimagine everyday objects into paradisiacal prints. Previous collections have seen primordial sea creatures rendered in beadwork, and decoupage chrysanthemums crafted from Swarovski crystals.

For Resort 2018, Katrantzou explored patchworking for the first time, mixing decadent embroideries with jacquards, garden-party botanicals with wallpaper patterns, and psychedelic stripes with sequins. A miniskirt is covered with kingfisher-blue feathers designed to resemble the plumes of a peacock, and botanic plants are printed across silken gowns. Not for wallflowers, these are clothes to be seen in.

Naturally, the designer returned to Waddesdon with renowned photographer Ellen Von Unwerth to shoot the lookbook imagery for the collection where, against the backdrop of the statues and chandeliers, her collection was brought to life. A model wearing the peacock skirt posed barefoot on the manor’s north-facing fountain, because where else would one find a peacock than in the garden?

Meanwhile, a silken two-piece pyjama suit in a wallpaper print was shot against the backdrop of decadent tapestry drapes. One can imagine these clothes being worn in the modern-day Waddesdon – perhaps at the dinner hosted by Lord Rothschild last June to celebrate the exhibition’s opening, where, among tables filled with flora and enormous gilt candelabras, guests including Chelsea Clinton and Yana Peel were plated up a chicken supreme. An aristocratic dinner party is a fitting natural habitat for these gowns.

Katrantzou, who was one of the many breakout designers educated under the late Central Saint Martins professor Louise Wilson, will celebrate 10 years of her British label this year. The former textiles student, who moved to London in 2002 after meeting her partner (who was studying at CSM at the time) never had dreams of launching her own line. And yet, her debut London Fashion Week collection for Autumn/Winter 2008 was picked up by 15 of the world’s most prestigious stockists, including Brown’s, and, in 2012, she was the winner of the BFC/Vogue Fashion Fund. Her designs have been worn on the red carpet by Taylor Swift, Keira Knightley and Rihanna.

Today, Katrantzou is stocked in more than 100 stockists in over 30 countries, including Harrods, Selfridges, Matches Fashion, Net-a-Porter, and Barneys New York. To celebrate the brand’s 10th birthday, her work is currently the subject of its first solo exhibition, titled ‘Mary, Queen of Prints’, at the Dallas Contemporary museum in Texas, until 18 March this year.

It’s a pick-and-mix assortment of her greatest hits, co-curated by Katrantzou’s friend and co-founder of The Tot Nasiba Adilova. Not bad for a British brand that has yet to open its own standalone store. “Opening an exhibition is a huge honour and a privilege to have at my age,” she says. “It’s very moving to me that they thought my work was worthy of exhibiting. I don’t have 60 years of a huge archive to showcase…”

A huge archive, no. But decadent gowns of couture-quality craftsmanship? Of those, Katrantzou has many, in glorious technicolour. A bird of paradise indeed.

“Everyone’s multi-faceted in their careers now.

I don’t feel like I’ve had to break through a wall" Words MEGHAN CONNER

A

mber Anderson is not what you would call a drinker, though she loves going to the pub. “It’s one of the things I like most about London,” says the actor/model. “I always meet someone new in The French House in Soho – you’re never short of an interesting character there. And then there’s my local, The Cow, in Ladbroke Grove…” She mulls over the concept. “I don’t really do alcohol,” she laughs, “but I do like standing at a bar.”

When you consider what she does for a living, it makes perfect sense. Studying people is part of an actor’s job: a sort of subconscious preparation for roles. “I definitely think a massive part of what we do is being able to empathise with people,” she agrees. “But I also think your own life experiences feed in to every character.”

At 25, Anderson’s backstory is more extraordinary than most. Born in Glastonbury, raised in Inverness, she moved to London at 17 to work as a model and within two years, was walking the catwalks for Burberry. By the time she was 19, she was also acting professionally.

But it’s her childhood in Scotland that remains, by her own telling, her most unconventional experience. “We lived a sort of hippie existence in Glastonbury

JAN SHOOT.indd 55

and moved to Scotland when I was six because my family basically believed that the millennium bug was going to happen,” she explains. “The idea was that we would live a self-sufficient, eco lifestyle to protect ourselves from Y2K, which obviously didn’t happen.” There were “more unusual things”, including attending a Steiner school, where she started to pursue music and acting. Then at 14, Anderson was persuaded to enter a modelling competition by a friend, and went on to be signed by an agent.

These days she’s a Burberry stalwart, having starred in various campaigns, including a 2015 lineup of bright young actors and musicians (everyone from Holliday Grainger to Harry Treadaway) going out on the streets of London. It wasn’t the first time Anderson had been shot by Mario Testino, of course, but the fact she was selected to be in a who’s who of the next big artists is perhaps testament to her growing success in both professions.

Today she downplays what it is to combine the two, saying, “I think everyone’s multifaceted now. I don’t feel like I’ve had to break through a wall.” And she doesn’t worry about being typecast: last summer she played a supermodel for the first time in the BBC drama, Strike: The Cuckoo’s Calling, an adaptation of JK Rowling’s

THEGLOSSARYMAGAZINE.COM

crime novel, and ironically, it’s the role for which she’s least recognised. “Maybe it’s because I’m a blonde in it,” says the brunette. “People haven’t really made the connection to me and my modelling at all.”

Despite a growing body of work that includes ITV’s Maigret and the film The Riot Club, she says it’s usually the modelling jobs she’s most recognised for. These span everything from beauty campaigns for Kenzo and Chanel to walking for Dior Couture and JeanPaul Gaultier in Paris. Recently, she’s had to contend with being at the centre of headlines for reasons beyond her work. Last October, Anderson took to social media to share the story of the horrifying harassment she endured in a meeting with Harvey Weinstein in a hotel room back in 2013. “He behaved inappropriately and propositioned a personal’ relationship to further my career, whilst bragging about other actresses he had ‘helped’ in a similar way…” she wrote on Instagram. At one point he tried to put her hand in his lap, which is when she “managed to leave the room”. She feels proud to have spoken up. “It was so important to me on a personal level, in terms of my own principles,” she says.

“Because for a long time I felt I couldn’t say anything. When someone is sitting in front of you threatening perhaps the end of your career, you take it very seriously.”

For the imminent future, she’s taking a break. She recently wrapped In Darkness, a film thriller with Natalie Dormer, and last December travelled to India for a self-imposed “gap month.” In the past Anderson has dated musicians (Paolo Nutini, Rizzle Kicks’ Jordan Stephens) but she’s heading out on her own. The early months of the year is when her industry goes off grid, so she’s been making the most of it. When she returns, the schedule is crazy. As well as starting production on a new film (the project is top secret, but she’s playing the lead role and is currently researching mental health) Anderson is working London Fashion Week. As usual, she’ll be doing the catwalk, but there are also the parties every evening.

As someone who doesn’t drink, how does she get through? “I’m the sort of person who runs on adrenaline,” she smiles. She realises how lame this sounds. “But it’s true! When I’m busy, I don’t get tired.”

STYLE

The current return to more classic style sees the great watch houses concentrate on pure lines, materials and finish. When shapes and dials are simple, all these aspects come into focus.

In particular, the latest women’s watch models illustrate perfectly the idea that classic design does not have to be dull.

Some, such as the Rolex Lady Date Just or the Patek Philippe Calatrava, have evolved their distinctness over decades.

Others, such as the Chanel Boy.Friend or the Jaeger Lecoultre Rendez Vous, are more recent, attaining classic status by the sheer force of their design. All remain icons despite updates – classics are both current and timeless.

Chanel BOY•FRIEND TWEED

An instant classic since its launch in 2015. Simple, masculine lines, inspired by watches worn by Coco Chanel’s English lover, Boy Capel, but with many Chanel codes – feminine curves on the pure dial, encased in a signature rectangle with cut-off corners, recalling the No5 perfume-bottle stopper.

Three sizes, steel or gold, plain or with diamonds, strap or bracelet – the tweed stamping on the bracelet is a genius touch while the blackened steel version adds an edge.

Rolex OYSTER PERPETUAL LADY-DATEJUST 28

A true classic with staying power, the Lady Datejust goes back to 1957, when it was spun off from the original men’s model. It has waxed and waned in size, and the new version is slightly smaller – at 28mm – in line with current trends. Its balance of feminine proportions, gentle palette and dial with masculine-influenced bracelet – smooth, supple and assertive – make it the perfect all-rounder, and it respects women’s demands with the 2236 automatic movement, its Syloxi hairspring specially designed for women’s models.

PROMESSE

ROYAL OAK FROSTED GOLD

Inspired by a model from the 1970s heyday of small watches, the Promesse’s distinctive shape, with a gently oval bezel inside a round case, has quickly established it as a well-priced new classic dress watch. The unmistakable design lends itself to many variants – three sizes including the dainty, 22mm Petite Promesse with its bright double strap, quartz or automatic movements, bezels plain or with delicate graduated diamonds, a fine guilloché dial and even a night-dark moonphase version.

Created in the 1970s by legendary watch designer Gérald Genta, the Royal Oak was the classic that defined smart, sporty 1970s style, first for men, then later, for women.

The new version is available in three sizes and already a classic in its own right – it was voted luxury Watch of the Year at the 2017 Eve’s Watch Awards for women’s timepieces. Designed with jewellery Carolina Bucci, who always wears a vintage Royal Oak, it uses a Florentine gold hammering technique to create a soft, feminine sparkle that is irresistible.

Launched in 1932, the Calatrava is one of the great planks of Patek Philippe design, the essence of a pure, round, elegantly slim watch.

As such it can be endlessly redesigned and subtly embellished and it has proved fertile ground for women’s models. The newest goes effortlessly from day to night in the beauty of its handguillochéd dial lacquer in translucent caerulean blue, its delicately painted arrowhead indexes and its slender case concealing a hand-wound mechanical movement.

The Speedmaster is a great Omega classic that originated in the late 1940s and has had many forms, mainly as diving watches and best known as the horological choice of actionhero James Bond. The latest version takes it in a new direction, as a chronograph – at 38mm it could be unisex but the details are unequivocally feminine. Soft oval subdials and a vertical oval date window, subtle diamond bezels, classic colours and an elegant bracelet make a gentle yet sporty statement.

RENDEZ-VOUS NIGHT & DAY

BR S DIAMOND EAGLE

This is the ultimate classic with a twist, first introduced 20 years ago as a novelty – a functioning diving watch with free-floating diamonds.

Its many iterations since have included bright colour and floating fish, but this sophisticated version, with an automatic movement, introduced to celebrate the anniversary, has longevity and class. In steel with a feminine bracelet, it has a finely guillochéd dial centre that offsets the “dancing diamonds” around it. Still a highly original design.

This year’s re-introduction of a 1970s success has created a new classic for Cartier. Derived from the men’s Santos with its riveted bezel and softly squared shape, it was a highlight of an era when the small gold watch for women reigned supreme. Now it’s back and the updated version with its ultra-flexible bracelet and signature Roman numerals is already a hit. In two sizes, with or without diamonds, in steel or gold or bi-colour, with jewellery variants to come.

Best known for the unique design of the Art Deco Reverso, Jaeger-Lecoultre have a distinctive classic for women in the RendezVous with its subtle and beautiful details. Inspired by a 1930s piece in the brand’s museum, it has clear Art Deco figures, a guillochéd dial, a charming sun and moon indicator and a feminine bracelet of delicate links. Many iterations exist – with strap, in steel, without diamonds, plus complications and jewellery models, all automatics.

In 10 years Bell & Ross’s bold, square case/round dial, aviation-inspired “instrument” has become an icon of stylish sports watches, mainly for men.

The introduction of a smaller, 39mm model has allowed women’s styles to take wing, giving sleeker, dressier alternatives to the more rugged sports styles. Most poetic is this diamond outline of the Eagle constellation on a midnight blue sky. Also with diamond bezel.

Interview

MIND, BODY, SOUL

Jasmine Hemsley, one half of the wellness brand Hemsley + Hemsley, has gone solo for her new cookbook, which aims to explain the art of mind-body balance using Ayurvedic principles Words ALEXANDRA JONES

J

asmine Hemsley, 37, is the raven-haired ex-model turned wellness guru who has a knack for making a trend. As one half of the duo Hemsley + Hemsley, along with her younger sister Melissa, she became a pioneer of the wellness movement, advocating whole, natural and plant-based food before any of us really knew what those things meant.

And it worked. As well as two bestselling cookbooks (2014’s The Art of Eating Well, and last year’s Good + Simple), she has co-hosted Channel 4’s Eating Well with Hemsley + Hemsley and opened a Hemsley + Hemsley café in Selfridges.

She lives in north London, in an openplan flat that was originally a work space.

“It’s full of plants and eclectic furniture,” she tells me when we chat over lunch.

“I studied furniture and contemporary design, so I love mixing contemporary pieces with classics and clashing patterns.”

She finds nicknacks at car-boot sales – where she whiles away any spare Sunday mornings. “There’s also lots of dog toys, or things that have become dog toys

Page 74

JASMINE HEMSLEY_v2_RW.indd 74

lying around,” she says, in reference to her three four-legged friends, Julie, Arunja and Beamer. “They get me out of the house into whatever nature you can find in London.”

This year she’s striking out alone for the first time, taking on a new frontier in wellness. “I’m passionate about wellness, whereas Melissa is more of a foodie. It’s been tough, for sure, but I’m excited.”

How would you describe your philosophy?

Balance is the first word I’d use. Finding a way to nourish every part of you. And in terms of food, for me it’s all about comfort. I feel like food has the power to nourish you on so many levels – mentally, emotionally and physically – as long as you’re eating something you love. For me, that’s a warming bowl of something freshly cooked, like a soup or a stew.

Your new book focuses on exactly that – balance – using Ayurvedic principles.

Where did that passion come from?

I first came across Ayurveda during yoga classes around 2001, then again in 2005 when I was researching philosophies on

wellness during a time of ‘low-fat, lowcalorie diets’ and I started incorporating the principles that made sense to me into my life. Learning vedic meditation in 2010 really propelled me to learn more about Ayurvedic principles, which have informed much of my wellness journey.

The timeless laws of nature make Ayurveda as relevant today as it was 5,000 years ago, and perhaps even more relevant as modern inventions, societal pressure and unnatural habitats send our innate link to the intelligence of our universe out of whack.

Why do you think this mind-body-soul attitude to food and wellness is so relevant and important now?

I think we’ve come to realise that we can’t just look after one part of ourselves and expect to feel amazing. We’re always looking for a quick fix, but we forget how connected everything is.

BEAUTY & WELLNESS

If you neglect your mind, if you’re anxious and stressed all the time and don’t do anything to address that, it doesn’t matter how well you treat your body – it’ll have an impact.

Technology is great, but when you’re so disconnected from the natural world, it’s difficult to feel whole and centred. Millions of people feel like something is wrong, even though on the surface they have perfectly nice lives. I think it’s partly to do with modern society having started to view the human body in a robotic way.

But that’s not nurturing our soul, spirit, creativity – whatever you want to call it – that makes each of us unique.

How has it helped you personally?

Well, I live in London, it’s very fast paced, I run my own business, there’s lots of stimuli. If I don’t take care of myself – if I don’t think about clearing my mind, trying to be present in my body – I end up being reactive and wired. It’s not just making sure there are calories in my body and that I’m getting enough sleep.

We forget how stimulated we are, compared to people who lived thousands of years ago. Now we have a million job titles and hobbies, we interact with hundreds of people every day – even if it’s just via Instagram. We’re constantly planning the future and thinking about the past. Certainly for me, meditation – 20 minutes a day of clearing my mind – helps keeps me calm. Which in turn helps me to make better decisions.

Tell us more about the type of meditation you practice…

Vedic meditation, which is the oldest technique. It uses a personalised mantra to enable you to meditate whenever and wherever you like. It’s similar to transcendental meditation, but feels more personal. I’ve been advancing my practise with Will Williams who’s based in Soho. He’s a friend and teacher who nudged me to spread the message of Ayurveda.

You also use sound baths?

Sound therapy has been a natural extension of my interests in health and wellbeing. The tones produced by crystal singing bowls are heard by the ear and felt in the body, with certain tones affecting your energy centres (chakras)

Why do you think people are resistant to talking about the spiritual side of wellness?

It’s another language, another culture.

It’s difficult to get your head around it initially. I think we’re now tuning into more subtleties. We talk about energy more.

We’re also realising that there’s no magic pill. We can have vitamin injections and drink the ultimate protein shake, but at the end of the day, if we’re working against the natural rhythms of our bodies, we’re going to burn out at some point.

What simple ways could people incorporate more balance into their daily lives?

First start making wholesome slow-cooked food, which is great for everyone’s digestion, as often as possible - after all you are what you can digest.

Add a sprinkle of herbs and spices regularly in your dishes to take advantage of nature’s medicine cabinet, and sip herbal teas throughout the day.

Try making lunchtime rather than evening your main meal of the day and enjoying dinner as early as possible for a better night’s sleep.

Finally, drink hot water or warm rather than chilled. I carry a thermos of hot water to remind me to drink and stay hydrated, especially during this time of year.

New Dali Forget categorising wine by geography or variety – Salvador Dalí’s The Wines of Gala takes a typically surrealist approach, organising them by emotional experience instead: ‘frivolity’, ‘sensuality’ and ‘joy’.

This free-flowing manifesto reads like a dream sequence thanks, in part, to its 140 illustrations. It’s not a case of style over substance though, but a fresh (if somewhat flamboyant) approach which feels as relevant today as when it was first published in 1977.

Interview

BREAKING BREAD The world’s highest-rated chef Massimo Bottura has launched a scheme in London that not only tackles food waste, but also feeds people.

He explains how, and why Words RACHEL WALKER

FOOD INTERVIEW_JN.indd 83

THEGLOSSARYMAGAZINE.COM

Page 83

24/01/2018 05:30

“P

assatelli noodles is probably the most delicious dish ever, I think,” says Massimo Bottura. It’s an odd thing to get misty-eyed over – breadcrumb-based dough that’s cooked in chicken broth.

After all, Bottura is known for far loftier dishes at his Modena based restaurant called Osteria Francescana. It’s certainly not peasant noodles that won him three Michelin stars or the top spot on the World’s 50 Best Restaurant list in 2016.

Today though, Bottura is excited about overripe bananas and Parmesan rind thanks to his latest project: Bread Is Gold. It’s a collaborative cookbook by ‘Massimo Bottura & Friends’, which showcases 160 recipes inspired by leftovers.

It is the product of an ongoing project run by Bottura’s charity, Food for Soul, which sets up ‘refettorios’, or community kitchens, around the world. The first, launched in Milan in 2015, then a British outpost, Refettorio Felix at St Cuthbert’s, opened in summer 2017, near Earl’s Court.

The idea behind the project is simple: tackle food waste, tackle hunger. Food donations arrive at the refettorios each morning, then volunteer chefs turn up to transform ingredients into lunches for vulnerable members of the local community. Only in true Bottura style, his ringround of chefs recruited a remarkable roster of Michelin-starred pals from René Redzepi to Ferran Adrià – so it’s less soupy leftovers, and more chickpea ragu with corn crisps.

When we meet, Bottura is fresh from a masterclass at Google HQ where he rustled up pasta with pesto made from stale bread: “much cheaper than using pine nuts”.

He looks every bit the rock star chef, decked out in fur-lined Gucci Ace trainers, yet he’s part of an elite group who are forging out a more conscientious role for the ‘celebrity chef ’ – it’s less about egos, and more about activism. Bottura is determined to use his influence to impact change.

He is credited with saving the livelihood of local Parmigiano-Reggiano producers back in 2012, when two earthquakes hit the Emilia-Romagna region, devastating the warehouses where the cheese is stored. Bottura’s

wind of the plan and offered its support, a site was found, and on 28 May 2015 the doors opened at an abandoned 1930s theatre, with a six-month cheffing rota.

Not only is the original site still serving guests, but Bottura has rolled-out branches in Bologna, Rio de Janeiro, London and his hometown Modena, with a Paris launch set for March this year.

“London has been one of the easiest projects we did,” says Bottura, crediting the whole team – from their partnership with The Felix Project who source leftovers from round the capital, to designer Ilse Crawford who transformed the site. “It was a dark, creepy place,” Bottura remembers, “If you walk in now, you see how light streams in from high windows. We almost didn’t need any art because the structure is so beautiful.”

“People got the message straight away,” Bottura says, his eyes lighting up as he tells the story of a 92-year-old woman who asked for the microphone during the first lunch sitting. She stood up and addressed the whole room: “She said it was the most beautiful place she’d seen, she thanked us for creating a place for her, for the community, and she said she could die happy – that was just day one. It was unbelievable.”

Six months on, the list of guest chefs reads like a who’s who of the capital’s restaurant scene. Alain Ducasse from The Dorchester has put in a shift, as well as Angela Hartnett, Jason Atherton, Nuno Mendes, Margot Henderson, Giorgio Locatelli and Michel Roux Jr. “Chefs keep sending in staff from their kitchen to practise at the refettorio on their days off,” says Bottura. “It’s an incredible opportunity for young chefs to be learning from the best, and it’s in the spirit of being together.”

The trestle tables and crates of ugly vegetables must seem like a long way from high-tech kitchens and pristine ingredients most of them are used to though. I wonder if there’s something incongruous about these giants of fine dining fronting the anti foodwaste movement, when theirs are some of the most lavish kitchens in the world?

Bottura explains that Michelin dining doesn’t need to be wasteful: “We serve 30 people for lunch, then 30 for dinner each day at Osteria Francescana, but we also have to do 120 staff meals – it forces us to

“It’s an incredible opportunity for chefs to learn from the best”

response to the disaster was to develop a dish that used Parmesan as its main ingredient: ‘risotto cacio e pepe’. He set a date for chefs worldwide to put it on their menus, and all 366,000 damaged wheels of cheese were sold.

It’s the same matter-of-fact approach to problem solving that brought about Bottura’s first refettorio. The idea was born round the time of Expo 2015 in Milan. When a food theme was announced (‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’) Bottura got barrage of requests to cook in the pavilions. “At first, I was flattered, and then I was unsettled,” he remembers. “I realised that no one was asking us chefs for our opinions or our ideas.”

Bottura began to think big. He started to dream about a pavilion where some of the world’s best chefs would cook with food waste, making dishes for people in need.

act in such an amazing, creative way not to waste anything,” he says. “We might just need a small part – the best part – for the diners. But the rest? We feed our staff,” Bottura says, explaining how the ethnic diversity among the chefs who flock to the Modena means that staff meals often have a Mexican or Japanese twist, depending on the team in charge.

FOOD INTERVIEW_JN.indd 85

This diversity runs through Bread Is Gold.

In one chapter Japanese chef Yoshihiro Narisawa uses breadcrumbs, minced beef and mushrooms to make teriyaki hamburgers, while Peruvian chef Gastón Acurio uses leftover milk to make a Tres Leches sponge cake with dulce de leche ice cream. The meals might be extraordinary, but they all start with ordinary ingredients.

This style appeals to Bottura, whose complex dishes are often inspired by humble flavours steeped in memories.

The book’s title Bread Is Gold, is a nod to one of the restaurant’s dishes, which pays homage to childhood breakfasts, dipping leftover bread into sweetened milk. Of course, the restaurant has an incarnation involving caramelised bread crunch, salted bread ice cream and gold tinted sugar – but homely influences are often the starting point for dishes.

“Everything happened round the table in our family,” Bottura says, listing off the four siblings, his parents, two grandmothers, aunt and uncle who he grew up with. “The table is where we discussed the future, we solved problems, we fought, we made up.” It’s this act of sitting down together for a meal that drives Bottura. It’s about companionship: “Breaking bread together is the first step toward rebuilding dignity and creating community.”

earls were clutched when Fortnum & Mason took the brave, bold decision to replace its 60-year-old Fountain restaurant – a St James’s institution – with 45 Jermyn St. Two years on, the handsome young upstart with its colour-popping red leather booths, smooth marble bar and bespoke caviar trolley, has won the traditionalists over. Not many people can resist a trolley, and certainly not one laden with caviar (Iranian beluga, golden oscietra and Siberian sturgeon) and all the traditional accompaniments: cute little baked spuds, gently scrambled eggs prepared tableside and, of course, blinis.

But they can’t compete with the sheer spectacle and old-fashioned fun of lobster spaghetti for two – rope in a pal to join you – cooked and flambéed tableside.

45 Jermyn St. is not a place to forgo ‘afters’: seasonal coupes, knickerbocker glories, boozy ice cream floats (try the one with brown butter syrup, bourbon and cornflake ice cream), British cheeses and a stellar selection of single malts vie for attention.

Menus respond nimbly to the seasons: this new year brings puntarelle and fennel salad with bergamot and mackerel with beetroot, rhubarb and blood orange. Lee is perhaps most famous for his puddings – ‘proper’ no messing desserts such as marmalade suet pudding or soft hazelnut cake with caramelised pears that he’s not too fancy to finish off with a trio of custard, cream and ice-cream.

If you’re going to partake of caviar, oysters and fine wine, then this is the place to do it. There are certain dishes that show you’ve ‘done’ BBR: the heavenly baked oysters Brezhnev with black truffle and the glossy ‘Bob Bob’ branded not-so-very humble

pie with wild mushrooms, truffle and Sauternes for example, but branching out yields rich rewards. Beetroot and goats’ cheese, elsewhere a hoary cliché, are here transformed into an extravagantly pretty layer cake of golden beets encrusted with nuts and garnished with discs of candystriped Chioggia beetroot – simply gorgeous. A trio of sorbets with vodka, meanwhile, makes an elegant and positively understated finish.

This heritage recipe is a point of pride for the Lyonnais chef, one he’s made worthy of a £90 carte at an iconic London address without jettisoning a jot of its powerful intensity. If this is what Bosi can do with innards, just imagine his way with the luxuries at his disposal.

Here his creativity shines bright, introducing fiery Singapore pepper sauce to Scottish lobster and challenging sweet and savoury

assumptions in a cep and truffledusted banana and meringue vacherin. Daring and delicacy find harmony under the watchful eye of Michelin man rendered in floor-toceiling stained glass, who can rest assured his legacy is safe.

Travel Notes Find a happy place in Bhutan, stargaze in Portugal and take a moonlit ski Compiled by LIZZIE POOK

A HIDDEN GEM Launching early this year, Six Senses Bhutan has to be one of Asia’s most anticipated openings.

A network of lodges with staggering views dotted around Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey and Bumthang – guests will be able to embark on a ‘Six Senses Journey’ between each lodge, exploring unspoilt Bhutan (otherwise known as ‘the happiest place on earth’) in style. scottdunn.com

TRUE BLUE Wallowing in the gin-clear waters of Barbados sounds, to us, like an impeccable way to spend 2018. Fortunately, this year marks the 30th anniversary of Caribbean experts, Elegant Resorts, who are ringing it in with a dazzling refurb of the Fairmont Royal Pavilion, set along a secluded kilometre-long beach on the prestigious Platinum West Coast of Barbados. Including airy, revamped suites, soul-stirring sea views and a menu crafted by award-winning local chef Kirk Kirton, it’s the perfect place to hole up and escape the bitter British winter.

Scattered across Meribel and Verbier, they include the particularly pretty Chalet Valentine (pictured) – which has its own vast private spa with hammam, outdoor hot tub, and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows into the wee hours. Sleeping 14 people in seven bedrooms, it’s a handy 100m from the slopes.

or the sake of full disclosure, I should put my cards firmly on the table: I am not a good skier. While exhilarating, no life affirming, for others, hurling myself down the side of a mountain while encased in salopettes and thermal socks up to my knees, has simply never come naturally to me.

But while lying prone, post-tumble (I’d estimate my eighth in as many minutes), in a sugar-soft snow drift in the pretty north Italian Dolomites, I have something of an existential revelation. Gazing up at the faces of the skiers who swoop delicately around me, dodging my sprawled limbs like some sort of sub-zero road kill, I can see their beatific expressions – the unbridled joy they are experiencing at whizzing through this chocolate box landscape with the wind weaving through their hair and the sun beating down on their backs. If I can master skiing anywhere, it has to be here.

The slopes of Alta Badia, a collection of six villages in the Dolomites’ South Tyrol region, are some of the most picturesque in the world. Fringed by quaint wooden huts and forests of pine trees, with craggy mountain ranges rising in the distance like goddesses, it’s home to a network of nerveshredding black runs – for those into that sort of thing – as well as some of the quietest, most pristine blue and red slopes in Europe; a far cry from the busy, glitzy resorts of Courchevel, Verbier, or Lech.

The region also serves up some of the most exquisite slope food around. In fact, no other valley in the Alps boasts a higher concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants than the postcard-pretty Alta Badia. And you won’t find much fondue round here. From Strangolapreti (spinach dumplings literally translated as ‘priest

strangers’ because a gluttonous priest once reportedly ate so many of them he strangled himself by swallowing them whole), to Bombardinos, a devilishly potent concoction of warm rum, egg nog and whipped cream, food and drink is a comforting, belly-filling blend of Italian and Austrian fare.

I’m actually here to experience the region’s annual Taste for Skiing festival, a season-long celebration of fine food which runs every December to April.

With ‘Sommelier-on-the-Slopes’ wine-pairing safaris – where you spend an afternoon skiing from

hut-to-hut with an expert sommelier, sampling some of the finest Tyrolean wines – to a Gourmet Skisafari (where guests don their skis and meander along the slopes to taste five different dishes in five different restaurants); plus a whole week dedicated solely to Ladin – the food of the region – it’s a veritable foodie extravaganza. With a crisp one-and-a-half metres of added snow, of course.

Last season, chefs from some of the world’s most famous ski resorts, including St Moritz, Gstaad and Aspen took part in head-to-head cook-off battles. But this year, 13 Michelin starred chefs – including world-renowned Norbert Niederkofler (three Michelin stars) from Restaurant St Hubertus in nearby San Cassiano – will

be conjuring up warm and cosy nostalgic dishes from their childhoods and serving them up from their resident huts to rosy-cheeked skiers. Expect warm, hearty meat dishes, cloud-soft desserts and unctuous plates of delicious pasta.

Questionable skiing aside, my three glorious days here are spent under piercing blue skies, pottering around picturesque mountain retreats and indulging in the spoils of some of the most accomplished chefs to be found at 3,900 metres above sea level. I wolf down roast bleggo rabbit (complete with its livers), served with pumpkin, chestnuts and Sauris ham powder; a smorgasbord of local cheeses and piles of salty specks with pillowy soft beef cheek tortellini. I also discover the

delights of Kaiserschmarrn – a sort of sweet pancake dish dusted with drifts of floury icing sugar and flecked with cranberries. My feasts are all topped off with many liberal rounds of Bombardinos, crisp Brut from the local vineyard (the highest in Europe) and many glasses of grappa. I become particularly fond of two cosy Alpine restaurants: Edelweiss –where motherly patron Maria doles out warm hugs alongside free-flowing Gingerinos (a bright orange, slightly bitter aperitif ) – and Jimmy’s, where we feast on hot chocolate, prosecco and even more speck.

The hotels around here are superlative, too. The family-owned Rosa Alpina in San Cassiano boasts not one but two spas and minimalist Scandi-chic interiors. Scattered St Hubertus Restaurant in San Cassiano

with local antiques and intricate wooden carvings, the original building dates back to 1850 – with wood-panelled ceilings, roaring fires and frescoed walls. The real draw here, though, is the show-stopping restaurant St Hubertus, which was recently awarded its third Michelin-star. Head chef Norbert Niederkofler has garnered nine culinary excellence awards over the years and all of his dishes are crafted entirely from locally-foraged ingredients (including around 450 different types of vegetables).

Order the lacquered eel, pumpkin and buckthorn paired with the 2012 Vitovska Vodopivec for a pleasant surprise.

Slightly further afield, San Luis Hotel, some two hours away, is reached via serpentine roads winding through staggering mountain ranges and pretty Alpine valleys. Step one foot in the lobby you’ll be taken aback by the soaring ceilings, crackling fireplace, parquet floors and floor-to-ceiling windows, which look out over a vast mint-green lake and swathes of snow-topped pine trees raising their lofty branches to the sky. Rooms come in the form of scattered chalets which teeter on the edge of the lake, and treehouses which disappear into the tangles of the surrounding forest with a whisper. Many of the rooms – filled with open fires, billowing fabrics and lots of wood panelling – also have their own hot tubs and saunas. Perfect for wallowing in

Tables in the hotel’s restaurant practically groan under the weight of Italian-style antipasti, and many of the ingredients are sourced from the large market garden that supplies the hotel’s kitchen. To fuel up ahead of a day on the slopes, tuck into a plate of locally grown Mediterranean vegetables by raw food fan and Michelin-starred chef Artuto Spiocchi in the hotel’s clubhouse hub. There’s also an airy double-height spa with windows looking out over the soul-soothing treetop views and black linen loungers aching to be sunk into (ask for physiotherapist Francesco; with just a touch he’ll know things about your muscles that you never even knew yourself ). If you’re feeling particularly ballsy there’s also a pontoon which stretches out onto the chilly waters of the lake; perfect for plunging into for a spot of ‘winter bathing’, proven to boost mood and improve mental health.

For something more remote, head to Adler Mountain Lodge – a bewitching hideaway perched on one of Europe’s largest plateaux: the majestic Seiser Alm. Sitting at a staggering 1,800 metres above sea level, you can while away afternoons soaking up the sweeping views across the Dolomites and gazing upon the jagged edges of the commanding Langkofel peak.

Being this high up means there’s also no better spot from which to view the enrosadira – the local name given to the colour of the mountains changing at

dawn and dusk. There’s also a gloriously heated outdoor wrap-around infinity pool that provides panoramic views of the ethereal mountains. The main lodge, constructed from local larch and spruce, houses 18 suites, but pick your way further up the slopes and there are 12 sprawling two-storey chalets providing immense views across the rolling mountain pastures and soaring mountain peaks. Each has its own private balcony, intimate sauna, vast fireplace and their very own sundowner terrace. Here, days start with a calming yoga session surrounded by snowy forests, or an amble along the Nordic Walking Trails, followed by a breakfast of authentic local omelette with meadow herbs.

The Dolomites has to be one of the world’s most beautiful places, with its deep mountain valleys, babbling rivers, dense forests and still, cold lakes. Sadly, during my stay I don’t quite master the art of skiing, but I do succeed in wobbling down some blue runs in tact and hurling myself through the doorways of some of the warmest, most welcoming slope-side restaurants around. Come hungry, with an open heart and mind and you’ll be sincerely rewarded.

THE RESTAURANT

The huge but homely Lygon Bar & Grill – complete with barrel ceiling and a minstrels’ gallery – is strewn with antler chandeliers and comfy leather booths. The seasonal British menu uses the finest locally sourced ingredients from Artisan producers and farmers, and standout dishes include the twice baked cheese soufflé, zingy grilled octopus, and the melt-inthe-mouth Gower salt marsh lamb cutlets. Leave room to devour the seasonal fruit crumble with clotted cream ice-cream by a roaring fire, as old portraits of some of our finest countrymen folk watch over you. The speakeasy style cocktail bar offers a tempting drinks list crafted from botanicals, including the delicious Lavender Negroni.

THE LYGON ARMS THE SPA

With cosy treatment rooms, a gorgeous 13-metre indoor swimming pool with a retractable roof, Jacuzzi, male and female saunas and a eucalyptus-scented steam room, the spa is the ideal place to idle away a lazy afternoon.

The Jessica Nail Studio takes care of hands and feet with finesse, the hot stone massage is sumptuous and relaxing, while the Signature Glow Facial is worth booking ahead for. Couples treatments are available should you wish to indulge together. Products include Oskia, Decléor and Ila - a natural, organic range which is produced in the Cotswolds.

Tucked away in the Cotswold’s picture perfect Broadway lies the venerable 16th century coaching inn The Lygon Arms, which has just reopened its weighty Tudor doors after a multimillion pound refurb. The inn is so old (one of the most historic in Britain) that figures from Oliver Cromwell and Edward VII to Evelyn Waugh have trodden its ancient hallways. It’s no surprise, then, that you can practically feel the history woven through the fabric of this place – with its lush velvet sofas, creaky stairs, rich wood panelling and centuries-old stone fireplaces. Each room has been individually decorated by interior designer Anita Rosato, including the opulent King Charles I Suite – where the monarch and his supporters assembled before battle – which still has the King’s coat of arms above its impressive fireplace. Set on three acres of private, manicured gardens and with a multitude of beautiful countryside walks on its doorstep, the romantic inn is so intimate, it’s also the place to which Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor escaped during their scandalous ’60s affair.

THE ROOMS

A maze of oak panelling, inglenook fireplaces and ancestral portraits, each of the inn’s 86 rooms – including large courtyard-facing options – is scattered with quirky antiques, and even the smallest come with comfy leather armchairs and writing desks. All contain spectacularly comfortable handmade natural organic Naturalmat mattresses, while master suites boast high-vaulted ceilings, wooden beams, magnificent four-poster beds and some even have private gardens. Junior Suites have room for the whole family and dogs are welcome in eight of the rooms.

ne of life’s great pleasures is checking into a beautiful hotel, kicking off your shoes and sinking into a luxurious bed. But what if you could stay at a rental home that had the same high standards and thoughtful touches as a boutique hotel, coupled with the charm and comfort of a real home? That’s the premise of onefinestay, launched in 2009 in London by Greg Marsh, Demetrios Zoppos, Tim Davey and Evan Frank, and now with a 10,000-strong portfolio of curated homes, villas and apartments in countries all over the world.

Its homes are high calibre, from a townhouse in Chelsea and an apartment in Rome, to a poolside mansion in The Hamptons or a beach house in Antigua.

These are properties where you can expect fine art on the walls, an infinity pool or a private gym.

And while you holiday in someone else’s home, you could be renting out yours, too.

Prospective homestay owners complete a two-minute survey and if your property meets the company’s exacting standards, the team take care of everything else.

Before guests arrive, a dedicated team visits each home to clean, pack away

valuables and, if needed, fit tamper-proof seals on wardrobes and drawers, allowing you to store possessions discreetly away from guests. The team also brings in 200-thread count bed linen, plus plush towels and boutique toiletries to stock the bathrooms. Once guests check out, the team returns to clean the property and check everything is just as you left it.

Homestay guests are looked after by a manager, who meets guests, introduces them to your home, runs through the

The current roster of London properties stretches across the capital, from smart family homes in Belgravia to edgy loft conversions in Shoreditch, and onefinestay is looking to expand its curated portfolio of homes throughout central London.

The financial rewards of renting out your home through onefinestay can be impressive – especially if your property would otherwise be unused – and you are in complete control of the availability, allowing you to rent out your home only when it suits you.

Interview

Queen of the

STONE AGE Jeweller Lara Bohinc is applying her geometric aesthetic to furniture – and the result is breathtaking Words BETHAN RYDER Photography KATE MARTIN

L

ara Bohinc (rhymes with ‘prince’) always cuts quite a dash around town.

There’s the signature red lips (MAC’s Lady Danger, if you’re asking), those Hollywood cheekbones, her own bold jewellery, and she’s usually rocking a fashion-forward number like a Roksanda frock, or a figure-hugging vintage denim jumpsuit. She has in the past referred to her looks as “Rachel from Blade Runner goes to Glastonbury.”

So it should perhaps come as no surprise that when I visit the jewellery-turned-furniture designer at her recently opened atelier on a quiet Bayswater residential square, I find her wearing a Mother of Pearl dress that is the same peach shade as her marble floor. Which in turn echoes some of the furniture pieces and home accessories on display - a striking geometric composition formed from a variety of different coloured marble. It’s like stepping through a portal to discover Bohinc’s super-stylish world in 360 degree surround vision.

And yet this is just a happy, stylish accident. Bohinc laughs off the matchy-matchy dress and marble as pure coincidence, but acknowledges she’s struck lucky with the interior architecture, which was inherited from the previous incumbent. “It was the home of the architect Harvey Langston-Jones, he laid the floor,” she says in her throaty Slavic drawl, adding “It’s incredible, no?”

This is not the first time such serendipity has blessed Slovenian-born Bohinc, who lives in Marylebone with her partner Ben and nine-year-old daughter Coco. Her stellar jewellerydesign career was kickstarted in the ’90s when she was studying an MA in Jewellery & Metalwork at London’s RCA. It was an exciting time to be in the capital, so much the creative hotbed that in 1997 Vanity Fair devoted an entire issue to the city’s movers and shakers, declaring “London Swings! Again!” on the cover.

The same year Bohinc designed some elaborate headpieces for a friend’s graduate show.

Spied by Vogue’s influential fashion director Lucinda Chambers one ended up crowning the supermodel Georgina Grenville in a Mario Testino cover shoot - and so Bohinc’s star was in

the ascent. “It was quite popular at the time to have extreme jewellery on the catwalk, often pieces that weren’t even that wearable,” she recalls of her collaborations with labels as diverse as Costume Nationale, Kosuke Tsumura and Guy Laroche.

“It really took off then and grew organically from there,” she says. Winning the British Fashion Council’s New Generation award after graduation secured her status as the hot new talent in town – and a one-woman studio in Clerkenwell. This was followed just a few years later by a Hoxton Square headquarters with a team of staff.

Earrings, rings and necklaces – even when selling to the likes of Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer or Elle MacPherson – didn’t satisfy Bohinc’s boundless creativity for long. Indeed it was a dissatisfaction with the limitations of post-graduate design courses in Ljubljana that drew her to the Royal College and London in the first place.

Jewellery was never going to be her sole vocation.

By 2000 she was also designing bags. Inspired by Marlene Dietrich, they juxtaposed a variety of materials such as metal, leather, sterling silver and Perspex.

And while jewellery remained a constant, she consistently dabbled elsewhere, producing other small objects – such as an art decoinspired cigarette case for Japanese brand Sobranie, an elegant mirror compact for Shiseido – in the same way she did as a girl.

“I was always making a variety of things,” she says of her childhood, “little pieces from wires, plastic, leather and also casting resins, some jewellery. I was always moving furniture around. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to be but I knew it had to be some form of three-dimensional design.” Her ambitions were supported by her mother,

who, although a judge, was “quite creative and always drawing”, and her civil engineer father who was elated when she shelved aspirations to become an actor for a degree in industrial design at the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Art. “He was so relieved and happy, he said that is a really good profession,” she says .

Bohinc’s degree enabled her to explore design in its broadest sense. “One minute we were creating a hoover, the next cutlery.

I realised I’m not the most technical person, although ironically lately I’ve become more interested in it in a decorative way,” she says referring to her beautiful, and rather monumental Solaris Kinetic Table. Priced at £54,000, it signalled a major departure from her previous work in fashion, beauty and jewellery.

The table is composed of four stacked marble discs edged in brass and connected to a rotation spindle which give each a range of orbit, so their positions can be adjusted to suit. It was conceived in collaboration with British stone specialists Lapicida for Wallpaper* magazine’s Handmade exhibition at Milan Design Week 2014. While she had already created pretty etched glass candleholders for Skultuna (one of her best-sellers), this was the iconic headliner that catapulted Bohinc into the luxury interior design sphere.

Despite the scaling up, her designs have been described as “jewellery for the home”.

There’s her fondness for warm metallics – brass is a recurring material and bronze glazes appear on her ceramic Fortress Column vases – and the shared inspirations – celestial bodies and the solar system have been preoccupations.

Beyond that, Bohinc’s longstanding love of geometry and 20th century architecture clearly shines through. “Inspiration can range from nature to architecture to art,” she says, “but yes I like things based on geometry – art deco, Memphis, Brutalism – my work is less about organic form and more about geometric expression. The movements might be as far apart as arts and crafts or Zaha Hadid, I like to break it down and not stick to a particular period.”

Indeed, there’s nothing static, or immutable about Bohinc.

She’s unrelenting in her quest to explore new materials and design disciplines. Her recent works include vases in Murano glass, ceramics and acrylic lighting, all made by Italian manufacturers.

She has travelled much further afield to Wajima, a remote area of Japan, where she has enjoyed a Japanese government-

“Inspiration can range from nature to architecture to art. My work is less about organic form and more about geometric expression”

HOME & INTERIORS

sponsored design residency with Urushi lacquer masters.

“It’s right on the coast and all they do there is lacquerwork and fishing, the seafood and sushi was amazing! Most craftspeople work from home, in very small spaces and generally the items they make are quite small – boxes, combs and so on. Everything is made by hand and each artisan specialises in a different technique, engraving, painting on lacquer, plain lacquering.” This will be the first time Bohinc has combined jewellery and furniture into one collection. She’s working on a vanity desk and small stoollike chair, some boxes and jewellery – and it’s been a long process.

“It’s extremely time-consuming, you might apply 30 layers of lacquer and each

coat has to dry in particular humid conditions,” she explains. The vanity desk has taken six months, so expect prices to be in the thousands.

Although Bohinc doesn’t miss the many limitations of designing jewellery, this range excites her: “I always wanted to make big colourful pieces and you can’t do that with metal. You can do it with acrylic, but I prefer to work with natural materials, so it’s really nice.

“The artisan I’m working with has developed his own colour palette with unusually vivid and pastel shades like petrol blue, bright yellow, green and pink.” Trust Bohinc to eschew the usual traditional red and black lacquer work and create something more dynamic.

She’s expanding her ceramics range and a collaboration with Matter of Stuff to produce some metal chairs is in progress.

On her wishlist is creating cutlery and bathroom taps, but she’s also doing a course in kinetic art. It seems London, where she's been since 1994, has proved to be her oyster, and looks to be her adopted home city for some time to come.

“Whenever I come back from Slovenia or recently Japan, I remember what I love.

It’s the mix of different nationalities and cultures and people are very permissive.

It’s my favourite place.”

GLOSSARY BEST BEAUTY SPOT Akasha spa at Café Royal Hotel, which I use for the pool , sauna and steam room. It's a quiet and peaceful oasis, right in the middle of the hectic whirl of Piccadilly.

50 Regent Street, Soho, W1 hotelcaferoyal.com BEST SHOPPING STREET Golborne Road is great for its independent shops. Rellik is best for vintage finds. They stock a great selection of pieces from the 1980s and 1990s, and also hard-to-find London designers. I recently bought a Helen Storey bodysuit there.

Les Couilles de Chien is a real cabinet of curiosities for the home with fabulous antique furniture, lights, glass and ceramics mixed with taxidermy.

Rellik, 8 Golborne Gardens, Notting Hill, W10; relliklondon.co.uk Les Couilles de Chien, 65 Golborne Road, Notting Hill, W10; lescouillesdechien.com COOLEST COCKTAILS The best cocktails are at Chiltern Firehouse, their drinks menu changes seasonally but their amazing bartenders can make you a drink to order – which for me is vodka, soda, lime and chili with ice or an espresso martini.

1 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, W1; chilternfirehouse.com FAVOURITE RESTAURANT Trishna is the best Indian restaurant in the world. The food is light with a contemporary twist. I literally like everything on the menu but their Hariyali bream is out of this world.

15-17 Blandford Street, Marylebone, W1; trishnalondon.com GO-TO DESIGNER I met Roksanda a long time ago through mutual friends. We both speak Serbian and we share the same love for all things modern.

I love the way she makes sculptured, tailored clothes that are feminine and functional.
