Buy Daphne Guinness’ wardrobe!
Style icon Daphne Guinness is selling her wardrobe. Why would you ever want to sell such an incredible array of clothes? That’s what we asked too. But it’s for a good cause – the auction is being held at Christie’s on 27 June, with all proceeds going to the Isabella Blow Foundation, a newly launched charity set up by the Guinness to help support young art and fashion talent.
Multi-digital
Burberry has launched a new multi-faceted digital campaign on Vogue.com that includes video, a slideshow and a click-to-buy component! Just another way that the global brand is using the internet to its full effect.
Culinary inspiration at the Paris Cookbook Fair
Regular visitors to La Vallée Village will know all about its proximity to the many charms of Paris, not least that city’s venerable cuisine. But not many know – yet – about a new event in the French culinary calendar – the Paris Cookbook Fair, which is set to be full of cooking inspiration and enticing flavours from around the world – find out more here.
New boutique openings
Who doesn’t love the opening of a new boutique? We do, it’s more excuses for shopping after all. The lovely Wertheim Village has recently opened new Lloyd Shoes and Hugo Boss boutiques – make sure you pay them a visit.
