EDITOR’S LETTER

Welcome to The Wick

— Katy Wickremesinghe
Dear all,

Art with Heart. Last night at the Saatchi Gallery, Chain of Hope presented a dazzling exhibition and auction in support of their ‘Share Your Heart’ campaign. Maria Sukkar, Vice President Chair of Chain of Hope, curated the exhibition as part of ‘Share Your Heart,’ which brings together globally renowned artists, leading creatives, and talent, including Sir Antony Gormley, Daniel Lismore, Sir Paul Smith, Idris Elba, and many many more to interpret the heart motif in their own playful way.

If you missed the vibrant live auction, which raised £93K courtesy of auctioneer Harry Rosebery there’s still time to get involved – the online auction is now open and runs until 14 February, a perfect chance to share the love this Valentine’s Day and snag something truly heart-stopping. https://www.shareyourheart.co.uk/lite-ui/?controller=home

Award season is in full flow. Take a review of the outfits at the Grammys including Beyoncé’s shimmering Schiaparelli, Bianca Censori’s viral next-to-nude look, and Sabrina Carpenter in a delightful marabou trimmed ice blue JW Anderson which was pure dolly. Art met life as Chappell Roan’s dress featured Edgar Degas paintings. The stakes will be high at The Oscars.

Meanwhile, at Buckingham Palace, Dame Tracey Emin, National Gallery Director Gabriele Finaldi, Royal Academy of Arts (RA) President Rebecca Salter, Costume Designer Sandy Powell, Anna Wintour and former president of Society of London Theatre Eleanor Lloyd were amongst those to receive awards.

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

All best wishes,

Katy
