I write from the Boscolo in Milan, a stunning boutique hotel that has amongst other things, one of the best hotel pools I’ve ever swam in. Goggles are embarrassingly, always the first thing I pack, part of my secret search for the best swimming pools in the world, but here are my Top 5 so far….Don’t forget your bikini!

On Selfies & Self-Portraits

Self-portraiture as a style came to popularity in the Early Renaissance, with increased wealth and interest in the individual as a subject. The form seems more relevant than ever in our ‘Selfie’ culture, as we increasingly spend more time isolated on digital platforms we become our own subject for self-expression. Frida Kahlo ( below) is most famous for her self-portraits, indeed of her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits which often incorporate symbolic portrayals of physical and psychological wounds. She insisted….
“I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.”
Last night I wore this lovely Peter Jensen dress, his s’s13 collection was shown in a gallery and in a extract from Interview magazine he weighs in on the relationship between fashion and art…. ‘I always think it’s pretentious when designers talk about what they do as art. I think when I was studying in the late ’90s, the two got much closer: all the designers wanted to be artists and the artists wanted to be fashion designers; the designers wanted to be conceptual and highbrow and the artists more pop culture.‘
