I’m typing this on the Eurostar home, hurtling through the snowy hinterlands of France after a four-day trip to Paris. I was there for a couple of work things. First, to attend the Dior men’s show, which was an incredible spectacle devoted to famed dancer Rudolf Nureyev, who lived a wildly opulent and carnal life in Paris (quick aside: I was recently at a small dinner and two of the more senior guests both claimed to have slept with Nureyev!).
The second reason was to host an ES party with Paul Smith to celebrate the brand’s runway show. It being our special Travel Edition, it seemed perfect timing to take the magazine on tour and, as you’ll see on p12, for Londoners to show Parisians how to have fun.
