MOODBOARD
The Preen designers on the aristocratic
bohemianism behind their latest collection
For their pre-fall 2019 line, Preen’s Justin Thornton and
Thea Bregazzi drew on a visit to Sissinghurst Castle, the
home of the author Vita Sackville-West. ‘Our daughters
were invited to attend a painting class there,’ Thornton
says. ‘We were given a private tour of the house by
Juliet Nicolson, Vita’s granddaughter – it was so
inspiring to hear about Vita’s life and see the gardens
she had designed.’ The alluring looks echo Vita’s
reputation for challenging gender norms, by way of
earthy tweeds and patchwork raincoats, juxtaposed
with silky blouses embellished with pussycat bows
and ostrich feathers. ‘She was in touch with both
her femininity and masculinity,’ says Bregazzi. ‘She
was truly modern.’ LUCY HALFHEAD

into an effervescent teenager admiring the

She was, I have to say, a girl after my own

revealing diary entry she writes on the day of her accession: ‘I spent

up until that point, the young Victoria was never, ever alone: at night
she slept on a truckle bed in her mother’s room in Kensington Palace,
and by day she was in the care of her governess, Baroness Lehzen.
She wasn’t even allowed to walk down the stairs unaided – nobody
wanted the heir to the throne to slip and break her neck. When she
received her Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, for an audience, it
was the first time she had ever been by herself with a man. Another
teenager might have been daunted, but she didn’t flinch. As the
parent of a similarly diminutive 18-year-old (Victoria was barely five
foot), I marvel at the way she took her overnight transformation from
overprotected teenager to the most powerful woman in the world in
her stride. Of course, I also have a shred of sympathy for the young
Queen’s mother, who was effectively discarded by her daughter.

The opportunity this offers to elide the separation between
performers and audience makes for an almost surreally immersive

large as that of a major opera house, able to accommodate the Philhar-

‘We could have made the Pavilion any size, but we wanted to keep
it intimate,’ says Nicola Creed, Garsington’s executive director.
‘Wherever you sit, you can see the sweat on a performer’s forehead,
or the lift of an eyebrow, and this fantastic sound envelops you.
You’re completely connected to what’s going on on stage.’

Los Angeles is the kind of place that wears you out. It’s a sullen,
sunless March afternoon and I’ve arrived, neurotically early,
to meet Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at a new member’s club in West
Hollywood, which turns out to be so cool and cleverly disguised that

This is Rosie’s sixth cover story for Harper’s Bazaar and the third
time I’ve interviewed her – on every occasion she’s been charming and
self-effacing, generous and giving. She wears her beauty lightly; what
comes through most emphatically is her desire to do well, to behave
well. ‘I just want to come across like a decent person,’ she told me
once. ‘I want to make my family proud.’ Her parents are still together,
still living in the Devon farmhouse where she grew up. ‘I have that
solid background,’ she says. The fact she remains so relatable may go
some way to explaining her phenomenal success; for as well as

Perhaps unsurprisingly for someone whose curvaceous athleti-

a seemingly effortless ability to flit between girlish wholesomeness
and full-on sex appeal – Rosie says the changes to her body caused
by pregnancy were the most difficult thing to deal with. ‘It was a

The mother and daughter
behind Chantecaille on the
brand’s fragrant collaboration
with de Gournay
The rose de Mai, which blooms for only three weeks

a year, is the rare and exquisite ingredient in
Chantecaille’s most luxurious products. Now it’s at the
heart of the brand’s collaboration with the design house
de Gournay. ‘We wanted to celebrate the rose de Mai,
and chose to collaborate with de Gournay because of
our shared love of botanicals and craftsmanship,’
explains the creative director Olivia Chantecaille.
The two-piece collection heralds the return of
Chantecaille’s Darby Rose fragrance, originally
launched in 1999. It is accompanied by a new Lumière
Rose highlighter presented in a unique print, the first
time a de Gournay design has featured roses.
‘I have always loved de Gournay wallpaper… and the
collection was conceived as the perfect feminine
celebration of these unique blooms wrapped in this
amazing packaging,’ says the beauty brand’s founder,
Olivia’s mother Sylvie. The limited-edition products are
only available in May, mirroring the rose de Mai’s brief
yet glorious harvest, so they are set to be as precious
as the flower that inspired them. BECKI MURRAY

I had dreamt of joining Heidi in the flower-clad
meadows that surrounded her grandfather’s moun-

air… and wished for nothing better than to remain there forever.’
In time, when I came to study the Romantic poets as an under-
graduate, Lord Byron appeared beside Heidi in the landscape of
my imagination, with his vision of grandeur:

and a footpath leads directly from the hotel to a spectacular vantage hotel: the Four Seasons is 10 minutes’ drive from Megève (or an
exhilarating ride by bicycle, as we discovered one day), while Les
Fermes de Marie is closer to the town centre, yet still very quiet
and surrounded by several acres of beautifully tended gardens.
A grown-up Heidi would feel perfectly at home in each property,
though Les Fermes de Marie is more traditional, a small hamlet of
rustic wooden chalets, built out of reclaimed barns, with a central
dining-room warmed by a big log fire, where delicious local dishes
are accompanied by bonhomie and abundant good cheer.
But above all, it is the mountains that make Megève so magical;
and in my mind’s eye, they are already urging me to return…

Pulling up to the Belmond Hotel Cipriani in a bur-
nished wooden water taxi, it is hard not to imagine
yourself starring in a Fellini film. This Venice land-
mark has sweeping views across the lagoon,
Murano-glass fixtures and multi-course delight at
the restaurant, Oro. The hotel concierge can
arrange a visit to the Fondazione Querini Stamp-
alia, a museum and library housed in an ancient
palazzo, a secret world hidden away from the
day-trippers and tour guides. Later, enjoy dinner
at the exquisite and eccentric Alajmo restaurant,
overlooking St Mark’s Square. ALEX PRESTON

Decorated in an elegant palette of lilacs and greys,
Copenhagen’s famous hotel, the D’Angleterre, stands
on a grand square just across from the multicoloured
houses and sailboats of Nyhavn. Founded in 1755,
this urban retreat is now home to a magnificent
spa (with the city’s only indoor pool), a champagne
bar and the Michelin-starred Marchal restaurant,
where the talented chef Andreas Bagh blends
Nordic and French cuisine. Make sure to save room
for the hotel’s bountiful breakfast buffet, which
includes baskets of seeded crispbreads, huge wedges
of cheese and bowls of dried fruit. LUCY HALFHEAD

Over the past few years, Athens has quietly become one of the
most vibrant and artistically interesting places in Europe. We
went for a few days, feeling ourselves pulled into the city’s
past, while falling in love with its present. At Hotel Grande
Bretagne, the choice of world leaders and Hollywood’s A list,
glamorous interiors hark back to the hotel’s debut in 1874,
from the potted palm-trees and ornate ceiling of the Winter
Garden to the vast antique tapestry in Alexander’s Bar. The
Parthenon is an easy walk away, or you can simply admire
the superb view of the Acropolis from the rooftop restaurant. AP

When in Rome, join the fashionable crowd
at the fabulous Hotel Locarno, sitting between
the river and Villa Borghese park, and just a pace
or two from the Spanish Steps. Founded in 1925,
this art deco gem was frequented by the Twenties
movie and literary elite, including Mimmo
Palladino and Enzo Cucchi, and is still a cultural
magnet today. Two early-19th-century houses
are linked by an enchanting garden restaurant,
and there’s one of the buzziest cocktail bars in
the city. Downstairs, you’ll find antique furni-

while the contemporary comforts of the sunny,

Edited by CHARLOTTE BROOK
In celebration of International Women’s Day, Harper’s
Bazaar and Chanel came together to host two glittering Margaret Clunie
gatherings. Gemma Arterton, Helena Kennedy and Josie
Rourke, the director of Mary Queen of Scots, were among
Colleen Caslin and
the headline speakers at an exclusive gala dinner at the

Hawkings in complex female film roles since the start of the #MeToo
movement, while Justine Picardie, Bazaar’s editor-in-chief,
discussed the empowering links between fashion and
feminism. ‘Even in the darkest hour,’ she said, ‘women have
defined themselves with the mark of courage, whether it be
a red lipstick or a Chanel little black dress.’
The following day, friends of the magazine gathered in the
private salon above Chanel’s Bond Street store for an

Jessica McCormack, sparkling in her own jewellery, shared
a warm embrace with the Flowerbx entrepreneur Whitney

triumphant London Fashion Week show with the actress
Gala Gordon. The model and activist Arizona Muse rose to
her feet to share her memories of working with Karl Lagerfeld

ROBODRONE … PIONEERING
SOCIAL MEDIA ENABLING ART
BY
NATASHA GRANO
INSTAGRAM NEWS PRESENTER AND INFLUENCER
On February 14, 2019, I had the pleasure of attending the launch of artist
Robodrone’s new, one year long, exhibition of the convention-breaking
artform known as ‘Social Media Enabling Art’ at legendary partners
Fulvio and Cristian’s Contini Contemporary Art Gallery located in
Central London next to iconic Claridges Hotel.
As a leading international social media influencer, I use my platform to

empower people across the world which is why Robodrone’s artwork
speaks so powerfully to me and my audience of over 1M social followers.
Twitter and Facebook have both requested Robodrone’s art on loan in
2018 and 2019.
As a ‘Modern Renaissance’ artist, Robodrone has pioneered a

revolutionary moment in the evolution of social media artform’s purely
‘shoot and share’ photo platforms, such as Instagram, to new ‘Social
Media Enabling Art’ that both empowers and encourages the user/
visitor to create ‘value added’ follow-on art of their own to share
worldwide.
INgrooves, Universal Music’s digital platform division,

has released several of his novel albums including
Hashtag Queens, Download My Heart etc. As well as
the upcoming April 12, 2019 release of ‘Shadowman,
Shamanic Remix’ (iTunes, Spotify and Amazon).
Robodrone’s songs are constructed in a unique, DJ cut-
proof style with lyrics that reflect, express and celebrate the new and ongoing transformative social changes of our times.
I had the pleasure of filming an exclusive episode of my IGTV show “A Day In The Life of Natasha Grano” with the Hashtag Queens throne sculpture
that can be experienced at The Contini Gallery. This is a new artform that invites the visitor to sit on the throne to create novel ‘Instaperformance Art’
that is shared simultaneously, in two dimensions: with people in the
immediate vicinity as well as around the world via selfies and video
snaps multicast onto Social Media accounts of friends and others
for comment and feedback.
People entering the Art Exhibit are no longer visitors – they are
‘Visiting Artists’ instead, who are encouraged and enabled
by Robodrone and the Art Gallery to create and share new
Instaperformance Art as personalised artforms.
The facilitation of user-generated art perfectly reflects and

expresses the way Social Media culture works and expands. Digital
citizens are encouraged to engage, create and share continuously.
The recently published book “Social Media Enabling Art’ by
Robodrone (Apple & Amazon books) with photos by Royal
photographer, Ian Jones, illustrates this very well.
