Last week was a feast for the eyes ✨

From the extraordinary art at @friezeofficial and @friezemasters to the exceptional furniture and decorative arts at @padesignart — so much inspiration, and so many lovely friends along the way.

I also had the pleasure of hosting an intimate afternoon in the beautiful surroundings of Maison Sisley @sisleyparisofficial, introducing my clients and friends to Melanie Georgacopoulos’s wonderfully creative pearl jewellery @melaniegeorgacopoulos. Thank you to @silvia_ehl of @comms_hive for bringing us together 🤍

And the excitement didn’t end there… More to share soon. Can you die from too much beauty? Last week, I came close! 🤦‍♀️🤣

Arriving at ‘The Soothsayers Chorus’ with @tytaniarose , an evening hosted by Jimmy Choo.
The Soothsayer’s Chorus is a multimedia group exhibition curated by @bethgreenacre_london and @bettinaprentice .

With the fabulous @epicuralife and @monsieur__tai ❤️

The Soothsayer’s Chorus reclaims Cassandra, the prophetess of Troy who was cursed by Apollo to speak truth without being believed, as a collective, polyphonic figure. Rather than a lone voice doomed to isolation, Cassandra becomes many women speaking at once, across mediums. The artist is the seer, whose visions, ecological, social, political, must not be dismissed or delayed.
The show tilts Cassandra towards a figure of collective memory. Prophecy is reimagined as inheritance, something passed from voice to voice, generation to generation. The exhibition will focus on female artists who explore intuition, collective ancestral memory, and speculative futures.

IMMOLATION
by Judy Chicago

Artists include Ana Mendieta, Cecilia Vicuña, Clementine Keith-Roach, Davina Semo, Elise Morin, Field Kallop, Hope Atherton, Jewel, Judy Chicago, Katie Paterson, Lucía Pizzani, Manal Al Dowayan, Nika Neelova, Saya Woolfalk, Veronica Ryan OBE RA, and Virginia Overton.

Their practices challenge the hierarchy between human and non-human, present and future, matter and spirit, rational knowledge and forms of perception that have historically been dismissed as intuitive. The show posits that our survival depends upon becoming better listeners.

An evening of Italian wellness, longevity and la dolce vita with @thesororityofficial

Thank you to @palazzofiuggi and @fortevillage for hosting us and introducing us to two very different approaches to wellbeing. @traceylwoodward you make a fabulous Ambassador!

Palazzo Fiuggi takes a holistic approach to health and longevity, combining its famous mineral water with medical expertise, nutrition, movement and an exceptional spa, yes please!

Forte Village combines luxury, wellness, sport and the Sardinian outdoors with an exceptional focus on families, offering everything from its renowned Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa to an extraordinary range of activities for children and teenagers. I’d obvs avoid school holidays 😅 but I’ve heard from families with children that the offering is phenomenal.

@kudurestaurant as per usual fed us exceptionally well, I’d eat there every day.

A beautiful evening with my fabulous sisters. It’ll keep me replenished and energised for days!

And we all went home with an amazing goody bag thanks to:

We spend so much of our lives looking after everything and everyone else. When do we put ourselves on the list?

Last night was about gathering with intention.

Together with our Sorority sister @traceylwoodward and our partners @palazzofiuggi and @fortevillage , we brought together brilliant women at different stages of life for an intimate evening of conversation around health, wellbeing, longevity — and how we choose to live well.

Gathered around the table at @kudurestaurant , we explored a world of wellbeing that goes far beyond simply taking time out.

Having experienced Palazzo Fiuggi personally, our President @lisatse88 shared why this extraordinary place had stayed with her, before George took us deeper into both destinations — from the remarkable story of Fiuggi Water and food as medicine, to thinking differently about restoration, health, family time and longevity.

For The Sorority, it’s about curating access to exceptional people, places and experiences for our members and their families — and creating opportunities to discover things we genuinely believe are worth knowing about.

And there were surprises! ✨

Two of our members will be escaping for a Weekend Experience courtesy of Palazzo Fiuggi and Forte Village, while everyone went home with one of the rather fabulous goody bags, filled with Fiuggi Water and treats from @dr.pawpaw , @mvanclarke and @ylwclub - thank you Tracey!

A huge thank you to George and the teams at Palazzo Fiuggi and Forte Village for their generosity and for sharing their world with us, and to Tracey for bringing us together so beautifully.

And, of course, to the wonderful women around our table who made the evening what it was.

This is what we love: thoughtfully curating the people, conversations and experiences that enrich how we live — at every stage of life.

Talking about life, and running…
We talked non stop for two hours. Then went straight home, because we have to be in bed by 10 🤣

Turns out signing up for a race is a great way to make sure you actually go running 😬

Back in April, Elena decided she wanted to get into running again and felt she needed a race to aim for, asked me, and went for the 3K @crukraceforlife in Victoria Park.

I love sharing my passion for running so I was 100% on board with doing this with her.
One of the things I love about running is that it doesn’t matter where you start. Whether it’s your first 3K or your 5th marathon, every finish line and every Km counts.

She also raised an incredible £800 for @cr_uk , which is AMAZING. That’s two tremendous achievements in one day!

The next challenge is 5k…

We were incredibly honoured to visit @tanya_ling in her London art studio, kindly organised by @artvisor !

Tanya is an artist, fashion illustrator, and former fashion designer known for her fluid line drawings, minimalist paintings, and crossover influence between contemporary art and fashion. She was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1966 and studied at Central Saint Martins in London, graduating in 1989. Early in her career she worked in Paris for designer Christian Lacroix before returning to London and co-founding the experimental gallery Bipasha Ghosh with her husband William Ling. Ling became internationally known in the 1990s after an exhibition of her drawings in artist Gavin Turk’s studio led to commissions from British Vogue. She went on to create illustrations for major fashion and luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Selfridges, and Vogue. Her style is often described as elegant and spontaneous, especially her continuous-line female figures and later abstract paintings. In the 2000s she also launched her own ready-to-wear fashion label, and British Vogue named her one of Britain’s key trendsetters. In recent years she has focused more heavily on fine art, exhibiting paintings and sculptures internationally. More than 50 of her works were acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum, and collector Damien Hirst acquired several of her works for his Murderme collection!

✨ OPEN CALL: RADICAL JOY ✨

We’re excited to announce our annual open call for emerging women artists, supporting their growth in the international art market, with a focus on the UK and Europe🩷

This year’s theme is Radical Joy.

In a world where crisis has become the baseline, joy is often the first thing we surrender and the last thing we permit ourselves. Radical Joy celebrates the vibrant resilience of the human spirit by shifting attention away from suffering toward the profound and often underestimated power of happiness. This open call invites artists to assert their presence through the lens of radical tenderness.

Swipe through the carousel for full details and submission requirements.
