Madonna's last-minute dash for her Guy's 'RocknRolla' screening


Madonna's world tour took a backseat as the queen of pop dashed over from Zurich to make it to husband Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla premiere. The singer arrived in London's Leicester Square with just minutes to spare before the start of the gangster flick, her husband's fifth film as a director.

The couple have been plagued by controvery over the state of their marriage and were clearly keen to show a united front.

Guy, who'd spent an hour anxiously awaiting her arrival, gave Madonna's waist a warm squeeze before escorting her proudly down the red carpet. His wife, looking fabulous in a satin faux jewel-detailed Stella McCartney design, was also greeted by an appreciative roar from the crowd.

Asked by one reporter about how they keep their at times tempestuous relationship on track, the movie director replied: "It's hard because there's a big ocean in the way sometimes, but we try to do our best".

Michael Pybus and Dazed and Confused




Dazed and Confused were asked to collaborate with artist Michael Pybus on a recent project called An Experiment in Collaboration, which will be shown for a month at the Jerwood Gallery. The basis of the project was invite six multi-disciplinary artists to collaborate with a variety of professionals including a forensic psychiatrist, a computer game designer and a biophysicist.

Michael has worked closely with Dazed in the past, showing his work at the Dazed gallery and building sets for specific Dazed projects. He wanted to take his recent work, a series of painted plinths, and move them into a fashion context, so I was put forward as a stylist to represent Dazed in this photographic collaboration.

Serpentine Pavilion construction


The notoriously fickle London weather turned on the warmth and sunshine for the 20 July opening of the Frank Gehry Pavilion at Kensington Garden’s Serpentine Gallery. The collaboration with the Serpentine – the ninth in the gallery’s ongoing partnership with leading architects to create innovative, temporary structures – is an especially happy one: it marks the American starchitect’s first completed building in England as well as being his first project with son, Samuel.
