The graduate show of Central Saint Martins fashion college turned ugly last night when a student and his troupe of models paraded the catwalk with bin bags full of cigarette butts and proceeded to throw them over the audience. They also shouted expletives and lit up cigarettes on the catwalk. Artist Grayson Perry, actor Virginia Bates and Sarah Mower, Vogue’s chief critic, were among those pelted with fag ends.
We hear Mower was “really not happy”. Damian Hurley, son of Elizabeth, was apparently “very, very mad”, one observer told us. The artist, Evilkebab, whose real name is T.J. Finley, told us he spent three months collecting the butts off the street of London and from rubbish depots. “At the after party they were angry with me,” he said, “but if you get rich and famous, they support it.”
