EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome to The Wick
Dear All,
Enjoy an L.A./London weekend with plenty of content and guides on Frieze L.A.’s online Viewing Room and time to get planning for exceptional craft at the COLLECT Art Fair at Somerset House, which is showcasing over 40 galleries – opening next week.
Meanwhile, picture the giant image of model Nick Kamen in a white shirt and wrap leather skirt styled by Ray Petri: a symbol of so-called Buffalo Style towering over the entrance of The National Portrait Gallery. Inside, find a myriad of icons including Kurt Cobain, Kylie Minogue, and The Spice Girls. These portraits are amongst 200 images by 80 photographers that feature in The Face Magazine: Culture Shift, which is devoted to the groundbreaking style magazine that changed the way a generation danced, dressed, and talked. The Face alumni including Ekow Eshun, Robin Derrick, and Sean Ellis and co-curators, Lee Swillingham and Norbert Schoerner, gathered at the gallery Tuesday night for a raucous reunion with Sabina Jaskot-Gill, the NPG’s Curator of Photographs.
As London fires up for LFW do swing by the LFW shop curated by Ida Petersson and Lewis Bloyce with 1664 Blanc from 22 – 24 February at 245 Regent Street featuring designs from 16Arlington, Ahluwalia, Bianca Saunders, and Conner Ives.
Happy style vibes from the KTW family.
All best wishes,
Katy
