Right now the early 1980s have a strong pull on me (and not just because it gives me an excuse to look at images of Robert Smith). My current journey back to the â80s began with a hint of New Romanticism wafting around the fall 2021 collections. It was most resonant in London, especially at Matty Bovanâs dramatic wind- and sea-swept collection for fall 2021. Then came the sad news that Nick Kamen had died, and I came across a photo of him walking in Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLarenâs history-making Pirates collection circa 1981, the same year as the Royal Wedding. Combined, these two events seemed like watching pages from fairy-tales come to life.

Horst portrait of Audrey Pleydell-Bourverie Courtesy of Christie s Advertisement Although not as famous now as her fellow Bright Young Things, who she was photographed alongside in Cecil Beaton s The Book of Beauty - Audrey James, as she was born, was just as chic, elegant and bohemian. The illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII via her mother, she was raised by American steel magnate William Dodge James, yet is thought to have been the biological daughter of Liberal politician Sir Edward Grey. She grew up in Sussex in an atmosphere of constant parties, with the guest list reading like a Who’s Who of high society.
Black tie, white noise: let’s make summer the new party season Eliot Wilson is co-founder of Pivot Point and a former House of Commons official. With the last restrictions of the pandemic due to be lifted in mere weeks, we all deserve to celebrate. We think of the run-up to Christmas as the typical ‘party season’, but Yuletide seems a long way off. Let’s claim this summer for celebrations, and burst out of lockdown with a grateful song in our hearts. People like to dress up. I know it’s not a universal impulse, but I also know I’m not alone in feeling that a social event is just that little bit more special when you take care over what you’re wearing, take your time to get ready, and step out into the world feeling you’re looking your best. Inner confidence projects outwards, and if you’re going to a party you want to be at the top of your game, witty, charming, elegant and immaculate. And I know too that people have sighed during our enforced enclosure and wondered when they’ll next get to wear that suit or that jacket or that dress that’s hanging in the wardrobe in silent reproach.
