The Dream

Tim Blanks, presenter, Fashion File, 1 2006 editor at large, Style.com, 2006–15: Geza had been nursing this perfume dream for some time, this Escentric Molecules. Susan Irvine, beauty columnist, The Sunday Telegraph, 1 6 2006 international beauty director, Condé Nast Asia Pacific, 1 2006 Geza and I met in 2002 when I was working with Zowie Broach and Brian irkby of Boudicca on their fragrance, Wode. The brief was to create a perfume that captured the aftermath of battle the burning smells, the horse leather, the abstract scents of northern forests — very Celtic. Geza immediately under-stood what they needed to capture all of this in a fragrance he was the per-fect perfumer for the job. Around the same time, eff Lounds, Tim Blanks’s partner, who was the director of the creative agency Southpaw, told me he was working with Bombay Sapphire on

a fragrance based on the botanicals of a gin and tonic. Tim Blanks: Bombay Sapphire wanted to do something different as a promotional tool, so eff suggested a perfume using the aromatic ingredi-ents in its gin. Susan, or Aurora, as we know her, is one of eff and my best friends — I mean, a long time venture, based around a shared love of night-clubs like Trade and DTPM — so she introduced eff to Geza. Geza Schoen, perfumer Infusion was the perfume we ended up creat-ing for Bombay Sapphire. It had bright and zesty citrus notes, juniper berries and light spice notes. It was a oneoff release in 2003, limited to airport duty frees. The project went really well, the fragrance got a great reaction, so I told eff about my idea for a perfume. Susan Irvine During one of those late-night sessions when we were mak-ing Wode, Geza arrived with these incredible ingredients, and in the midst of the banter and the sniffing and the smoking and the drinking, he told us about his own idea for a fragrance

Iso E Super was never meant to be a perfume. An aroma chemi-cal with an alluring woody accord, it was used by scientists to bring an olfactory richness to everything from fine fragrances to floor cleaners. That was until a novice perfumer, enamoured by this enigmatic ingredient, struck upon the idea to bottle it and sell it as a pair of fragrances in its own right. It would be called Escentric Molecules 01, and it would become the scent sensation of the 21st century. Te t by Richard O’Mahony, photography by Mathilde Agius

Lustre Make-up artists generally spend 70 per cent of their time creating a perfect complex-ion to prepare a model for a beauty shot and the remaining time detailing the stylistic flourishes that define the look. “When you ignore the conventions of traditional make-up – foundation, concealer, blusher, high-lighter, et cetera – you become liberated,” says Philips. “Imagine if face powder was the only thing you used.” The lustre of a balm-glazed lip or the high gloss of a painted nail suddenly gains dramatic emphasis. The beige silk sleeveless top is by CÉLINE.

This surely is the chicest cover-up of the

season. Sir Paul Smith, master of upbeat

fashions and candy stripes, has worked

closely with The Gentlewoman on a

design that mirrors the magazine’s pre -

cise dimensions — 23 by 30 centimetres

— in a stylish pane check. The colours,

meanwhile, celebrate two of the title’s most beloved covers, with an Inez navy” and a Lansbury pink”, from issues No.2

and No.6 respectively.

The downy-soft handle is the hallmark

of Paul Smith’s Tuscan mill, where the blanket has been crafted from highest-

quality South African lambswool into

a 170-by-130-centimetre sheet with a

19.5-micron grain for a dense weave

with a gossamer touch.

Twirl the purled fringe around your

fingers and enjoy the reassuring flourish

of a 100 per cent luxury accessory —

perfect for parading in or for creating

instant coverage at home.

The Gentlewoman & Paul Smith Lambs-

wool Blanket was festively unveiled dur-

ing a recent day trip by The Gentlewoman

Club to Durslade Farm, auser & Wirth’s art complex in Somerset. There, a group

of club members, editors, friends of this

magazine, and even Sir Paul himself

enjoyed picnic entertainment and some

fine art, all in celebration of this latest

collaboration.

The Gentlewoman & Sunspel T-shirt

The classic T shirt, that staple of the mod-ern wardrobe, isn’t so definitive that it won’t benefit from refinement to serve the sartorial requirements of its day. Such is the necessity of fashion evolu -tion. And so, in 2016, The Gentlewoman unveils its new partnership with Sunspel, the label that has been creating crisp

cotton daywear at its Nottingham fac -tory since 1860. Together, we have created this wonderfully particular Gentlewoman & Sunspel T-shirt. Avail-able in bright white or inky navy, it’s made from mid weight cotton equally suitable for balmy days and cooler evenings, and features updated dimen -sions for a super modern fit. These are the precise considerations that make all the difference in a perfect staple for today.

The Cotton

Cut from single 30s — a medium weight cotton noted for its smooth handle — at 14 1 gsm, the Gentlewoman & Sunspel T shirt’s fabric is slightly heavier than the single jersey commonly used. This makes it more opaque, gives it a flattering drape on the body and means it’s more versatile throughout the year.

The Cut

One centimetre shorter in length than Sunspel’s classic women’s crew neck Tshirt, the Gentlewoman & Sunspel T-shirt

is designed to break” on the hip when untucked — perfect for revealing a hint of waistband on an evening skirt or trou-ser. Its sleeves fall slightly longer than the classic’s, and the neckline is 2. cm higher, giving it a pleasingly utilitarian appearance.

The Finish

The neck of the Gentlewoman & Sunspel T shirt features a self binding, overlocked construction that leaves no outer stitch-ing visible. The hems feature a generous four stitches per centimetre, while the overlocking has five for a precision fin-ish. All seams sit towards the back of the garment to optimise comfort and guard against twisting.

Alba Rohrwacher Caroline Corbetta Curator, Milan

Caroline Corbetta’s mission is to spot-light young Italian artists any way she can, even in the window of Milanese restaurant Il Carpaccio, in a project conceived with artist Maurizio Cattelan. “We have a lot of museums in Italy, but not many contempo-rary art spaces,” she says. I’ve gathered a group of very good artists; they just need visibility.” Caroline is wearing a black cash-mere single-breasted jacket and black wool trousers. The rings, worn throughout, are her own. On the ne t page, she’s in a black wool-and-cashmere zip-front coat, a white silk T-shirt and black wool trousers.

Super-agent Julie Brown likes to get value for money. Here pic-tured with a fabulous Mercedes SLS roadster, she says her usual mode of transport is a 15-year-old, seven-seater Toyota Previa. “It’s so reliable. I can even fit my bicycle between the seats, and since it looks like shit, no one’s ever go-ing to steal it.” Julie injects some glamour nonetheless by wearing heels when driving. She dreams of making the intrepid journey along the old Silk Route from Europe to China. “But I would have to do a mechanics course beforehand, in case I broke down.” You see — al-ways watching that bottom line. Julie is wearing her own navy VERSACE jacket, a white silk shirt by CÉLINE, LEVI’S jeans and vin-tage shoes.
