Wang

Sunday, May 18

I arrive in London and head straight to my friend Davinia Wang’s house in Holland Park. She owns Edon Manor in Tribeca, which is named after her English country house, where we’ll be heading at the end of the week. We freshen up, then head to Oxford Street to do some shopping. We find an amazing Chinese restaurant called Royal China and pig out before calling it an early night.

Monday, May 19

I have a photo shoot with Alice Dellal, who I am obsessed with. It’s for my Uniqlo collaboration, which I just found out sold out in 30 minutes in Japan, woohoo! After the shoot, I meet up with some friends who came to London with me and we do some sightseeing around the city, which basically means more shopping.

Tuesday, May 20

We have a press breakfast at Harvey Nichols, where I score an invitation to the sample sale at Dover Street Market. That night we met up with Alice again for dinner at Nobu. The scene is really conservative, but we take over a booth, have some of the most delicious drinks on the menu, and make the place exciting. Afterwards we run into one of Alice’s friends, who brings us to Tango, a club around the corner. Again, the crowd is a bit off, but we have so much fun dancing and drinking that we almost forgot about who else is there.

Wednesday, May 21

Another early meeting, this time with Vogue.co.uk for breakfast at Claridge’s. It’s always amusing when we end up somewhere totally proper. I feel like Gwen Stefani in the “Blow Ya Mind” video when they crash the fancy party. Next we have a whole day of appointments with editors at our amazing host Davinia’s house. Then the plan is to check out Bistrotheque, so I’m super-excited.
