New book to promote RED initiative in the works
Just saw this online at vogue.co.uk:
VOGUE had a date with Gap last night at the National Portrait Gallery and it was just as glam as you might imagine. Putting everybody in the mood for the party circuit of the international collections - due to kick off in NYC this weekend - it brought the likes of Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Erin O’Connor, Roland Mouret, Zandra Rhodes, Max Wigram and Phoebe Philo, Nicky Haslam and Daphne Guinness together to see a preview of Gap’s new Individuals exhibition, featuring all the stars of its past ad campaigns. Portraits of those stars were plastered all over the gallery - including beneath the glass table top of the banquet table at which 90 of fashion’s most famous sat down to dinner later on - and they will shortly be put into a book that will be sold to raise money for Bono’s huge RED Aids awareness initiative. As industry parties go, this was one of the best - who says fashion people don’t eat? Leek, tomato pepper tart followed by wild halibut with langoustine and asparagus, then passion fruit sorbet and chocolate mousse meant we all have plenty of energy for the action ahead.
