On a picture perfect spring evening in London, 600 guests clutching cherry-red tickets for Gucci’s show at Tate Modern gathered at the museum’s riverside entrance in their finery.
They posed with the shimmering dome of St Paul’s Cathedral in the backdrop of their selfies or commandeered bemused cabbies to capture arrivals by black London taxis. An army of loafer-shod champagne waiters escorted the footballer Leah Williamson to her seat next to the actor Andrew Scott, while the K-pop star Lee Know stopped for a chat with Paul Mescal, and Dua Lipa paused to read the words of Mustafa the Poet, beamed in vast white lettering in a scroll that covered the floor of the Turbine Hall.
