Dear All,

In the mood for love… looking for a great date dine out – why not review the new Michelin-star restaurants in Great Britain & Ireland. The only three-star goes to Moor Hall, the delightful gastronomic getaway in rural Lancashire, led by Chef Mark Birchall. Indulgence willing, book in now for next Valentine’s Day. For something closer to home, The Berkeley has just opened the hottest new spot in town, La Môme.

Meanwhile, for those needing a late in the day love fix, Valentino is encouraging virtual love scribing by partnering with Dream Baby Press. Enter your name, and your loved one and a letter will pop up on screen with plenty of twists and frivolity.

Get packing: the art crowds are on the move again. Frieze offers up a comprehensive L.A guide to the city ahead of the fair on 20 – 23 February held at Santa Monica Airport. The program includes installations, collaborations with non-profit organisations, and pop-ups from some of Los Angeles’ most beloved restaurants. We are looking forward to the Focus section curated by Essence Harden, snacks from the Word of Mouth veg food truck and cocktails at The Maybourne Beverly Hills to view Japanese American artist Tomokazu. Matsuyama has two striking public artworks: a mural in the design district of Melrose Hill and a digital installation, illuminating the iconic Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard and a solo booth at Almine Rech.

In the meantime, closer to home, time to get the Fashion Week diary at the ready…

Wishing you a happy Valentine’s weekend from the KTW family.

All best wishes,
Katy
