VISIONAIRES AND GRACES
CULT magazine Visionaire's party in London before the weekend was expected to be a magnet for the capital's hippest party-goers. And it did not disappoint. Guests turning up at The Royal College of Art to admire the fragrant artwork in the new Scent special issue included Erin O'Connor, who took to the dancefloor sporting a new boyish crop and flat cap, Jacquetta Wheeler - spotted nipping outside for a cigarette with Roland Mouret - Tracey Emin, Katy Grand, Agent Provocateur's husband-and-wife team Joe Corre and Serena Rees, and actress Emilia Fox. Jibby Bean came head-to-toe in white specially to match Visionaire's new bleached leather-bound issue. And when the guests at the decadent do needed a break from dancing, they played around on beds: the Great Eastern Hotel had recreated a luxury hotel room for the occasion, complete with "room service", which included delicious cucumber martinis (bright green, very this season). Hostess, Visionaire director Cecilia Dean was stunning in a McQueen empire-line evening dress and white cape. The Scent issue, priced at $175 and with a print run of only 4,000, contains 21 unique images alongside 21 brand new scents, each created to encapsulate the title of their corresponding image - including Karl Lagerfeld's naked vision of Hunger, left.
