The first days of January are for rest and recuperation but also new ideas, resolutions and, above all, dreams. This month we’re at London auction house Bonhams for a conversation that reflects on jewellery design and human emotion with expert Kate Flitcroft. We’ll meet British artist and stage designer Es Devlin and discuss her incredible show at Somerset House, ‘Face to Face: 50 Encounters with Strangers’, and speak to writer and biographer Justine Picardie about Dior’s incredible journey to Scotland for its 2025 cruise collection. So take up a pen to scribble your own ambitions while hearing our tips, thoughts and ideas for the year ahead.

Chapter 1

Meet acclaimed artist Es Devlin

We turn to a new exhibition by British artist and stage designer Es Devlin called ‘Face to Face: 50 Encounters with Strangers’. Over a period of four months, 50 strangers went to Devlin’s South London studio – with her not knowing anything about them other than their first name and that at some point they sought refuge in London. The result is a stunning collection of chalk and charcoal portraits. We met her at the exhibition in Somerset House.

Kate Flitcroft is the co-head of department UK for jewellery at Bonhams New Bond Street, we spoke about her work and the eternal power of jewels.

A new exclusive documentary titled ‘Dior in Scotland’ takes a peek behind the scenes of Dior’s 2025 cruise show, which took place at the sumptuous Drummond Castle Gardens earlier this year. The film follows the journey of Dior’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, through Scotland as she meets with makers and explores the region’s textile heritage to put together the collection. We speak with British fashion writer Justine Picardie about the savoir-faire behind this stunning collection and its poetic homage to Scotland.
