Daylesford Organic Shop

London is a heaven for culture vultures and shopping and restaurant addicts, and no matter how many times you have been there is always something new to eat, do, or see.

Theater: See Sylvie Guillem perform in Push at Sadler’s Wells thru June 27th.  Or if you can, get tickets to see Jude Law in Hamlet at the Wyndham’s West End.

Art: The Saatchi Gallery in the Duke of York square. The current exhibit, Abstract American is very playful. Also at the White Cube Mason’s Yard gallery the Tracey Emin show “Those who suffer Love,” is a very beautiful and personal show.

Food: In Pimlico, stop by the Daylesford Organic Shop. Sit inside the all marbled store where everything is from the farm, it is a rather healthy and luxurious place. Also visit Clerkenwell, the latest it neighborhood, and eat at the Modern Pantry (right around the corner from Zaha Hadid’s offices).

Shops: For antiques, try Pimlico Road or James Worrall on Church Street in Marylebone.  But always visit Dover Street Market, just to see what they have going on and to have a light lunch on the top floor.

at the Claridge

With Oscar weekend behind me, I go to London to begin my new project… designing a dozen rooms at Claridge’s. Claridge’s is my favorite hotel in the world, so I am honored they thought of me, and I know I will make the most glamorous hotel rooms in the world!

Straight from the plane I go to their warehouse to pick and choose some of their vintage furniture. I find some good sofas and a few art deco desks…it is very important for me to preserve the heritage of Claridge’s, its glamour and elegance but make it relevant for today. I spend the next few days with my team, and our ideas become clearer every day!! I also manage to squeeze in some time to go to the theatre and see On the Waterfront and have supper at The Wolseley.

Featuring a conversation with Mu Sochua, a Cambodian parliamentarian, human rights activist, and Vital Voices Global Leader, the event drew a chic crowd of London ladies. Hosted by the likes of Baroness Mary Goudie, Elizabeth Saltzman and Plum Sykes, everyone was Proud to be Woman and proud to wear DVF!

Dianve with Marie-Chantal of Greece

Last week, DVF was in London to celebrate the launch of the Wonder Woman-inspired collection for Holiday and her comic book “Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be: The Adventures of Diva, Viva, and Fifa.” The Bruton Street DVF store was filled to the brim with wonder women like Trudie Styler, Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, and British Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Alexandra Shulman. The event drew over 200 people to Mayfair and was also the talk of the town (see what CNN had to say).
