Not a place for those who fear bridges! I always forget what a beautiful friendly city this is. Saw this #Lynchian club on my walk this morning.

Taken aback seeing a remembrance service at King’s Cross station today. Can it really be 36 years ago? I remember that Wednesday evening so well: frantic parents ringing round desperate to know that their kids studying in the capital were safe.

Slingback Saturday and gorgeous couple alert! Anna

Slingback Saturday and gorgeous couple alert! Anna Plowman and Toby Stephens, twenty-one years ago today: World premiere, Die Another Day. Jet beaded column with chiffon overlay. The stylist @PhillTarling introduced the couple to me and he was a very hands-on talented bloke.

I’ve recently traded in the nightly Channel 4 News slot for the Six Million Dollar Man on Legend and I’m feeling much better for it. Who knew we didn’t have a care in the world back in 1976?

About 20 years ago I bought up all the Steve Austin merchandise on eBay that I couldn’t possibly afford as a child until my spare room looked like a warehouse. It’s a great way to heal your inner child.

The only way to see the sold out Chanel exhibition

The only way to see the sold out Chanel exhibition now is to get a year’s V&A membership for as little as a hundred and twelve pounds. This enables you and a guest to see the new exhibitions, including #Diva at once (and over and over again should you wish to). Amazing to see some vintage #BobMackie for #Cher and #BetteMidler . #IreneSharaff for #BarbraStreisand and #ElizabethTaylor et al including costumes for #Callas and #BetteDavis.

#GabrielleChanel at the V&A today. Members get to

#GabrielleChanel at the V&A today. Members get to see #Diva too. And what is any event without #CliveMyrie these days?

RIP William Friedkin. Ellen Burstyn’s prepostero

RIP William Friedkin. Ellen Burstyn’s preposterously OTT couture gown for her cocktails-at-home party made such an impression on me when I finally saw The Exorcist that I made this relaxed version of the blouse (1999). I felt the sand gold jersey created a softer look more reminiscent of #Biba. The costume designer on The Exorcist was #JosephFretwelliii . Olivia Inge wears my top in How To Spend It magazine styling @marcellastylist .

‘Light and noise and bees and boys and days…’ I thought of that Sondheim lyric on my river walk this morning (mainly ‘cos of the bee). There are boats everywhere too.

Mazel tov Manon and Jacob! Thank you for a lovely afternoon. I’m at that age when I can say (annoyingly) that I remember holding you as a baby mister! Be happy and lucky.

This lavender-lined entrance to Christ Church meadow was stopping passers-by in their tracks this afternoon. I’ve never seen such a vivid shade. Just an iPhone pic, no filter.

Glorious, brave, compassionate Glenda, RIP. How she and Ken Russell expanded our world and enriched our telly viewing in the 1970s.

One of the (few) drawbacks of living beside the Thames is that inevitably the odd missing person from the city will float past your window. Drunken cyclists and boatmen often meet a watery end too. Every now and then the river is dredged and these ghostly tempura bicycles appear (no filter): a poignant reminder of the previous owners.

I read that The Kick Inside was released 45 years

I read that The Kick Inside was released 45 years ago yesterday. I was telling my young niece that I vividly remember buying it in 1978 when I was twelve, and how the album cover art was now seared into my brain. She wasn’t terribly impressed and then I realised that it would be like my own uncle telling me in the late Seventies about an LP he’d bought in 1933. Sobering.

Ubiquitous image of the week but just too sad to contemplate the heart being ripped out of Mayfair. Will the new owners get to keep the name of the building? Will it become a hotel? I remember nervously waiting in that iconic foyer to show various fashion editors my sketches, some thirty odd years ago.

The Magic Flute makes a change from The Nutcracker

The Magic Flute makes a change from The Nutcracker this Christmas but I’m not used to wearing two pairs of everything and a parka to the opera. It’s turned midnight now and I might as well have a pumpkin 🎃 and mice 🐁 at my feet (no trains back to Oxford)!

I walk through St Pancras station so often without thinking of the refurbishment overhead. Spent a lovely afternoon in the various bars having a jolly good catch up.
