I don’t usually take pics of my food, but this is cool (literally): you can get free vegan softice topped with chocolate sauce, dried raspberries and … er … French fries at Somerset House. Unusual but tasty combination. There’s free coffee, too.

A beautifully photographed insider’s look at the highly influential personal style and wardrobe of Isabella Blow, one of fashion’s most courageous, outrageous, and imaginative muses. Isabella Blow was said to have been a one-off of her own creation in a world of copycats. She had a gift for spotting fashion genius her discoveries included Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, and Sophie Dahl, all of whom became instantaneously iconic. Her eye put her at the center of the high fashion scene, yet Isabella s pedigree, intoxicating energy, wicked sense of humor, boundaries-pushing aesthetics, and her willingness to wear the outrageous made her into a fashion icon. This elaborate volume published with Somerset House and in association with the Isabella Blow Foundation and Central Saint Martins to accompany the fall 2013 exhibition is an exhaustive survey of Isabella’s personal collection. With over 100 gorgeous full-color and black-and-white photographs shot exclusively for this publication by Nick Knight, this volume is the first to catalogue her own famous wardrobe that includes thousands of pieces by the most important contemporary designers, including McQueen, Philip Treacy, and Manolo Blahnik. The impact of Isabella’s influence can be seen within this captivating and inspiring volume, an essential addition to libraries of the fashionable, cultured, and eclectic.

The magic is still there

Once co-stars, Eddie Redmayne + Zoe Kravitz are now both brand ambassadors for Omega watches. Their playful relationship (+ sense of style) was fully apparent Wednesday night at the launch of the Aqua Terra Shades collection at a lavish event at Somerset House on the banks of the Thames in London.

As every UK resident knows, contemporary Britain is a total hellscape. The recently closed exhibit The Horror Show! A Twisted Tale of Modern Britain (27 October 2022 – 19 February 2023, co-curated by the duo of Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard and Claire Catterall) embraced that concept and ran with it!

From the Somerset House website:

“The Horror Show! is a landmark exhibition that invites visitors to journey to the underbelly of Britain’s cultural psyche and look beyond horror as a genre, instead taking it as a reaction to our most troubling times. Featuring over 200 artworks and culturally significant artefacts from some of our country’s most provocative artists, the exhibition presents an alternative perspective on the last five decades of modern British history in three acts – Monster, Ghost and Witch. Recast as a story of cultural shapeshifting, each section interprets a specific era through the lens of a classic horror archetype with thematically linked contemporaneous and new works.

The exhibition offers a heady ride through the disruption of 1970s punk to the revolutionary potential of modern witchcraft, showing how the anarchic alchemy of horror – its subversion, transgression and the supernatural – can help make sense of the world around us. Horror not only allows us to express our deepest fears; it gives a powerful voice to the marginalised and society’s outliers, providing us with tools to overcome our anxieties and imagine a radically different future.”

Anyway, the exhibit was a dense, swirling nightmarish swoon that cast a spell on me. As The Guardian’s art critic Jonathon Jones concluded, The Horror Show! was a “witch’s cauldron of an exhibition”, continuing, “There is another Britain, this exhibition convinces you, that exists only as a web of imagination, a phantom realm that defies the reality of the everyday like a ghost channel taking over your TV.”

The Horror Show! was split into three themes: Monster, Ghost and Witch. Each section had its own unsettling “theme tune” / soundscape, designed to induce maximum dread: “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” by Bauahaus (Monster), “On the Wrong Side of Relaxation” by Barry Adamson featuring the panicked whispers and wails of Diamanda Galas (Ghost) and finally, Mica Levi’s “Lipstick to the Void” from the Under the Skin soundtrack (Witch). The Horror Show! pretty much incorporated all my favourite people and cultural movements (Siouxsie, Jordan, Leigh Bowery, Princess Julia, horror movies, punk music) so it was virtually impossible for me not to be enthralled. Read my ramblings here!
