Mike Dennis If carpenter Mike Dennis (left) had not pursued his craft, he would have sought to become an environmentalist, scientist or animal rights activist. ‘They are the heroes of our time,’ he says. Luckily for admirers of architecture, Dennis found his calling in woodwork and established himself in France. There, he was called on to help restore the wooden latticework over the nave of Notre-Dame. The cathedral reopened in December. ‘Not only has it brought together amazing people from all over the world, but it has also ignited an interest in craft and our shared heritage,’ he says. On page 42, he tells Tatler the story of this historic commission. Zoe Strimpel Historian, author and broadcaster Zoe Strimpel (below) is a columnist for the Sunday Telegraph and a contributor…

Like a scene out of Jilly Cooper’s Rivals, the Beaufort Hunt Ball was awash with crushingly handsome Rupert Campbell-Black types, all dashing in Beaufort blue and buff hunt tails. After the field had dismounted at Badminton’s Worcester Lodge, the decorated marquee filled as guests gathered for champagne and canapés. Later, the 900 ballgoers, including Tommy St Aubyn, Bobby Worcester and Arthur Soames, sat down to a dinner that Taggie O’Hara would have been proud of, before taking to the dancefloor as the returning band – wedding favourite 29 Fingers – played Noughties hits beloved of the hunting crowd until 2am. As to the question on everybody’s mind – Was there any Cooper-esque post-dinner mischief? – what happens at Badminton stays at Badminton……

A LESSON IN STYLE

Not since The Beatles performed live at Stowe School in 1963 has the 17th-century estate seen such a sensational spectacle as this year’s charity fashion show. Organised by head girl Alessia Capella and fellow sixth former Sophie Cecil – aka Yum Yum – the evening saw 50 model students sashay down the catwalk, while Storm Darragh raged outside, leaving half the boarding houses without power. But no matter – the atmosphere was positively electric. Headmaster Dr Anthony Wallersteiner dazzled in a bespoke Nigerian-inspired outfit made by local designers, catching the attention of guests including British Fashion Council member Josh Birch Jones. Meanwhile, Chelsea swan Yum Yum’s parents, Mark and Katie, radiated a warm glow of approbation. All agreed it was an extravaganza fit for the architectural marvel that the esteemed…

A LESSON IN STYLE

At the ancient Palazzo Pisani Moretta on the Grand Canal, society belle Maria Marigliano Caracciolo hosted her British friends, including Viscountess Newport, the Earl of Ancram and the Earl and Countess of Belfast, for a lavish three-day Venice Ball in support of the Order of Malta charity. ‘It’s the only palazzo in Venice lit by candlelight,’ she noted, recalling how wax dripped from chandeliers onto her 300 guests (aged 21 to 80) as they sipped classic Venetian bellinis and dined on sea bass and chocolate cake beneath Tiepolo frescoes. Gallons of gin and tonic kept the British contingent merry as Jason Norwich – who inherited star presence from his father, historian John Julius – took to the stage to host the raffle. The drama didn’t end there: after brunch the…

Thirty, flirty and thriving? Actually, ‘older, hotter, wiser’ was the mantra stitched into Jaipur It girl Devisha Kumari Singh’s gown when she marked her 30th birthday with a weekend of celebrations. At Villa Palladio, a Wes Anderson-style estate in the Pink City, she welcomed high-society guests to an emerald-themed ball, where Goose Leigh, Hugo Manners and Jake Willis Fleming danced to Mumbai DJ Vishal Shetty’s set on the marble checkerboard floor. The following evening, Devisha upped the ante by throwing a candlelit, black-tie dinner at the palatial Amer Fort overlooking the glittering city. Late night blended into the early hours, but any glamour-induced fatigue was cured by a chic brunch held on the final morning at The Ashok Club – Rajasthan’s answer to The Hurlingham – where Maria de la…

NOTTING TO WEAR

The River Cafe is always glamorous, but it positively pullulated with pulchritude when It girls, actresses and the Notting Hill set all gathered to celebrate the launch of Dilly Groes’s eponymous cool-girl clothing brand. In a private room overlooking the Thames, Dilly’s dashing brothers – Alexander and Theodor – welcomed the glittering crowd to their seats before guests got stuck into chef Ruth Rogers’s celebrated crab linguine. Bella Maclean, Angela Sant’Albano and society’s most in-demand pilates teacher, Sophie-Rose Harper, exuded Savile Row chic in pale blue shirts, which matched the napkins laid out on the minimalist-style tables. Less minimalist, however, were the guests’ waistlines after the infamous Chocolate Nemesis cake, served shortly before they dispersed happy and beautifully dressed into the night.…

TRUNK IN PUBLIC

‘Let’s tickle the ivories’ – something you should never say to Dr Iain Douglas-Hamilton, who has devoted his life to fighting elephant poachers. A rock star of the conservation world, he is also the star of the film A Life Among Elephants, which enjoyed a glamorous screen premiere at the Royal Geographical Society. Prince Michael of Kent and Gabriella Windsor took their seats in the front row in support of Iain’s Save the Elephants charity, but they were outglammed by David Daballen in traditional Samburu attire. Iain is also a daring aviator, as his daughter Saba reminded guests in a rousing speech: ‘You get bold pilots and you get old pilots. But rarely do you get old and bold pilots,’ she joked. The crowd drank to that – sundowners, of…

ARTISTIC ANTICS

It was a Roper-Curzon riot as the Pylewell Park crowd descended on London for artist William Roper-Curzon’s exhibition of his recent works. Among the guests at the private view were Dick Charteris, Alexandra Moncreiffe and Matthew Bell, who admired the Greek landscapes while eating very English canapés – mini Yorkshire puddings. Peregrine Moncreiffe made a scene by pushing Elizabeth Teynham around in an office chair, snagging drinks as they sped by the bar. With William’s paintings snapped up in record time, the stylish crew partied on at Francesca Fairbairn’s until 2.30am.…

The war of the words

A GREAT DEBATE IS raging among London’s smart set, from St James’s Square to the edge of Fleet Street. One mile apart, two tribes have emerged: the hardbackreading, book-writing, spectacleadorned intelligentsia who form the backbone of The London Library clique; and the Reference Point revellers, more first edition of The Face than Mary Shelley’s Franken stein. For £575 a year, The London Library (est 1841) offers lusty solitude looking out onto Chatham House. At the Reference Point (est 2001), you can pay £120 for access, or go all out with the £600 patron membership and unlock a latenight bar, community chess and erotic poetry. So are you more Alan Bennett or Adwoa Aboah? Beware: your choice reveals all. THE LONDON LIBRARY Grand, gilded scholastic paradise Eccentricity is paramount for the gilded,…

The war of the words

THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN in Paris, Josephine Baker stole every show with her bold performances and risqué outfits. Picasso, Cocteau and Hemingway admired her – and the European royals? Bien sûr. But she was also a spy for the French Resistance, a civil rights activist and a mother to 12 adopted children. And here’s the scoop: a newly translated memoir reveals in Baker’s own words what she was really like, complete with tales of the litany of regal figures she met. THE KING OF SWEDEN King Gustaf of Sweden. The modest king. He welcomed me to his home, with his family, several times. I saw him again in France when he was travelling through Paris to go and play tennis in the south. He’d be a king in name only, were he…

MY GREAT-UNCLE JACK didn’t play with trains as a child – he played with hacksaw blades. I grew up on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, making toys out of cereal boxes and, like Jack, carved out a career in carpentry. Decades later, I’m still building, but instead of cutting up cardboard boxes, I turn oak trees into cathedrals. In April 2019, I saw the flames engulf Notre-Dame on TV from my workshop in the Dordogne. As the spire collapsed through the 800-year-old timber latticework, it reminded me of watching the Twin Towers fall. I was in the Royal Marines back then, and I remember thinking: ‘This is going to affect me.’ Could I help this time? Charpentiers sans Frontières (Carpenters without Borders) demonstrated that it was possible to use original methods for…

WHEN, IN 1972, I WON A JOB as restaurant reviewer for the Evening Standard, the competition prize was a three-month contract. The outgoing reviewer was the late, great – some clichés are rightfully unavoidable – Quentin Crewe. Quentin had introduced a whole new style to the business of assessing a meal out. He described establishments as you might a theatre production or a party, complete with descriptions of set, cast, costumes, dialogue and any gossip flying around. He was also involved with several restaurants, most notably Brasserie St Quentin in Knightsbridge, launched in 1980 in partnership with his cousin and good friend Hugh O’Neill, 3rd Baron Rathcavan. Hugh encouraged his son, François, to get to work in the kitchen after he had left Chelsea College of Arts. From pot washer,…

BILLIONHEIR FILES

CHRIS DAWSON SAYS HIS FAMILY finances were so tight he never owned a pair of underpants until he was 12. But the British businessman defied the odds to rise into the upper echelons of The Sunday Times Rich List. He and his wife, Sarah, have amassed a fortune of £2.25 billion. The 72-year-old, self-confessed workaholic and founder of Norton Group Holdings Ltd recently hit the headlines with his purchase of failing British retail business Homebase – saving 1,600 jobs across 70 stores – having rescued Wilko in 2023. He left school unable to read or write and has let his talent for trading do the talking instead. But what’s the story behind Dawson’s journey from rags to riches? And where did it all go so right?

TOTALLY BUGGIN’ Adjust your calendars – and wardrobes. Clueless is totally heading to the West End! Indeed, the ’90s cult classic that birthed a generation of Bettys has been turned into a musical, opening at the Trafalgar Theatre this month.

A few hours before the Spencer sisters arrive to pose for their first joint magazine cover, they are luminous on the red carpet at the British Fashion Awards; dazzling with old-school aplomb and new-world glow, scions of the British aristocracy raised in the South African sun. Kitty is splendid in strapless gold, and the twins’ black off-the-shoulder dresses are inevitably (and globally) compared to their aunt Princess Diana’s ‘revenge’ dress. The trio eclipse all the other guests with their blonde elegance and can-do attitude – they are bougie bombshells with an irresistible back story. A few weeks before, they attended an awards ceremony for Centrepoint, the homeless charity, all in silvery blue. (The twins in satin and Kitty in a Dolce & Gabbana dress depicting a Venetian scene, complete with…

Today, Tracey Emin owns mansions in Bloomsbury, Margate and the South of France. But once upon a time, like Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas, she lived in romantic bohemian poverty, making then unfashionable London fashionable by drinking in Brixton’s Hero of Switzerland and The Golden Heart in Shoreditch. Like Picasso, the YBAs started small and slovenly; and just as they were made de rigueur by Charles Saatchi, they swooped west and brought new, debauched life to a fading social scene, specifically via Dean Street’s Groucho Club – that one-time haven of cocaine and cocktails that saw the vertiginous rise of the 1990s artists into major celebrities. Artists were rock stars, and Hirst’s formaldehyde cows made the pages of The Sun. Then came a gap – a dreary void where that…

SPRINTS CHARMING

Paris, August 2024: one of Nigeria’s most prominent families has arrived. They sweep off the Eurostar and into a Rolls-Royce. Destination: Le Royal Monceau – a most lavish hotel, where Krug sparkles in the courtyard and Matsuhisa (chef Nobu’s restaurant) attracts a prosperous crowd. ‘Our parents love to make sure that comfort is a priority. They like nice things,’ Tobi, 27, the eldest of the four siblings born to Adeyinka and Ngozi Ojora, tells Tatler. But the royal Ojora family of Lagos are not in Paris just for the champagne and sushi. Over in the Olympic village, near the Stade de France in rough-and-ready Saint-Denis, only son and Team GB hurdler Tade (then 24, now 25) is preparing for his Olympic debut. On the day of reckoning – the heats…

SPRINTS CHARMING

On a balmy evening last July, Kemi Badenoch was one of a clutch of contenders for the Conservative leadership drinking Pol Roger in the leafy garden of The Spectator, whose annual summer party is the famous arena for Tories on their way up – and down. And the Conservative Party was certainly on its way down that night, having crashed humiliatingly out of power just five days earlier in the general election. The bash had a slightly hectic, end-of-times feel, with manic laughter ringing through clouds of smoke. But there was also a certain electricity: a sense that the nightmare was over and a new beginning was taking shape. Four months later, it came to a fizzy head when Badenoch, 45, was elected party leader, beating rival Robert Jenrick, whose…

2 JAN 1980 Family dual Badenoch’s Nigerian mother gives birth to her in a hospital in Wimbledon, which earns Kemi dual citizenship. The family return to Nigeria shortly after. 1980s Iron age Badenoch shines out in her primary school debating society, and sees British Tory PM Margaret Thatcher as a heroine. 1980-1996 Ruling the roost She reigns at home as the eldest child. Her younger brother, Fola, has said: ‘She was our leader, our protector… and she picked the movies we watched.’ 1996 Hard graft With economic and political turmoil unfolding in Nigeria, Badenoch moves to Morden to live with family friends. She juggles A-levels with shifts at McDonald’s – a job she later claims made her ‘working class’. 1999-2003 Political awakening Badenoch studies systems engineering at Sussex University, surrounded,…

FROM LAGOS TO LEADERSHIP

General Carlo Felice Corsetti is sitting on the edge of a cream-coloured sofa in his Rome apartment, sifting through magazines and news articles that recall one of society’s – and Italy’s – most notorious cold cases. The parched, shrill headlines chronicle the mystery of a case that has consumed him for decades: exactly what happened to Jeanette May, the ravishing 40-year-old former wife of billionaire financier Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, whose body was found with that of her secretary, Gabriella Guerin, more than a year after they drove into a snowstorm in the Sibillini Mountains in Italy’s Marche region on 29 November 1980? Was it hypothermia and simple misadventure that killed them? Or were they murdered, perhaps because of the Rothschild name May still used on her passport? The now…

HEAD OVER HEELS

I KNEW THAT SOMETHING was up when the Amalfi Coast just didn’t deliver. The vongole? Tasteless. The lemons? Not as yellow as I remembered. The sea? Too choppy. And then the finale, when one of the world’s most romantic views from Le Sirenuse made me cry for all the wrong reasons. It was then that I realised it was time to seek ‘help’. Cut to a few months later, and on a cold spring morning, I find myself sitting cross-legged on a sofa in the west London practice of hypnotherapist Dr Shomit Mitter. What the spiritual guru Deepak Chopra is to LA, Shomit Mitter is to London, except even more erudite and scholarly (and far more self-effacing). Friends have raved about his extraordinary ability to figure out exactly what is…

EVERY YEAR, IN A PARTICULARLY lovely WhatsApp group, a uniquely appealing invitation is posted by my friend Carrie: ‘Might any of you join me for a week or two on my 125-acre Philippine island, Ariara? There’s yoga, massages and pristine beaches on tap.’ Having discovered the unique sense of isolation and beauty offered by the Philippines in the early 2000s, Carrie and her ‘maverick’ husband, Charlie, have bewildered me with their bravery and commitment to Ariara. Turning an island so remote that it’s 35 nautical miles from the nearest tourist attraction into a barefoot luxury resort requires desalination plants, extensive building and a cast-iron commitment to one’s vision. I must admit that, tempting though Carrie’s invitation is each year, I’d never managed to make it to Ariara, because reaching a far-flung…

Chalet or shan’t I?

EXPERIMENTAL CHALET, VAL D’ISÈRE Here in Chelsea-sur-neige is a trusty formula for slope rangers who have long extolled the charms of Val d’Isère. But forget anything stuffy: interiors at this newly opened hotel channel 1960s and 1970s glamour – evoking the kind of place you’d expect to find Brigitte Bardot and Gunter Sachs in ski season. The eclecticism continues in the bedrooms, which are generously sized, with huge beds as their centrepieces. And if you find yourself staying in the Bellevarde Penthouse (named for Le Face de Bellevarde, the infamous black ski run with its 959-metre descent), then the room-service raclette is a must. Downstairs, two-exquisite-restaurants excel in Savoyard classics that pair perfectly with an icy martini. experimentalchaletvaldisere.com CHALET HARMONY, MÉRIBEL This glorious property, a short stroll from Méribel’s pistes…

Traditionally, the term ‘commuter belt’ has not been the most positive one, conjuring up visions of dreary suburban locations, popular purely for their proximity to the capital. But if you look beyond those locations, deeper into the Home Counties, you’ll discover that there are some truly exceptional properties to be found, made all the more desirable by the fact that they’re an easy distance from London. Accessibility is first and foremost – proximity to a mainline train station is key, ideally with multiple trains an hour to London during the peak times. Smaller stations are tempting, but having to change trains on a daily basis is rarely worth the stress. It’s also a good idea to consider how easy it is to travel by car – being relatively close…

ROOMS WITH A VIEW A major redevelopment is afoot by Regent’s Canal in Bethnal Green, as the area surrounding two oldVictorian gasholders is being transformed into a mixed-use development, creating 555 new homes, and opening up a stretch of the canal which has been inaccessible to the public for over 150 years. Regent’s View is a striking new structure which includes five colourful cylindrical buildings, two of which will sit within the restored gasholder frames.

IN THIS MONTH’S ISSUE, JOURNALIST ZOE STRIMPEL PROFILES Kemi Badenoch, the new leader of the opposition. But it’s far from being the first time a Tory leader has graced Tatler’s pages. In 1902, the cover featured the then prime minister, the 3rd Marquess of Salisbury, alongside his nephew and controversial successor, Arthur Balfour. In 1915, former Liberal prime minister the 5th Earl of Rosebery was photographed with his son Neil the morning after Neil’s wedding to Lady Victoria Stanley (tragically, their union was cut short when Neil was killed in military action just two years later). In 1920, future prime minister Harold Macmillan’s marriage to Lady Dorothy Cavendish made the cover. Despite Lady Dorothy’s lifelong (and public) affair with one of Macmillan’s Conservative colleagues, the marriage lasted 46 years. Winston Churchill…

You start by slipping beneath the sheets and wriggling into her Body Ballancer suit, which resembles a pair of trousers straight from a Balenciaga fashion show. This then inflates and deflates rhythmically, resulting in a delicious compression that stimulates lymph flow and drains stagnant fluid – a godsend if you’ve recently undergone cosmetic surgery or suffer from water retention – while Warren embarks on one of her famed micro-needling facials, designed to kickstart the natural reparative mechanisms (which up-regulate collagen production and reduce inflammation). Next, she’ll paint the skin with layer after layer of hyaluronic acid, meso-vitamins and growth factors, follow them with a firming, blue peptide mask…

1. FOR A SWAN-LIKE NECK Collum Lenis with Dr Bibi Ghalaie The lowdown Collum lenis means ‘smooth column’ in Latin, and this forward-thinking triage trio of treatments delivers a neck that is exactly that. Devised by Dr Bibi Ghalaie, the newly appointed global advisor for skincare brand Medik8, it’s just the ticket when your neck starts to look a little under par; whether bother-some banding or wrinkles, crepey skin or unwanted laxity are starting to creep in. Consultations with the glamorous doctor are nothing short of thorough – investigating life-style factors, skincare regimes and previous aesthetic interventions – before options are put on the table. The first line of attack is dermal fillers: Ghalaie uses Teoxane Teosyal RHA 1, a lightweight hyaluronic acid suspended in a gel, to soften the appearance…

Redefining TIME

RECENTLY, I REACHED A tipping point. After years of wishing – and working hard – to look younger, I no longer crave the fullon Dorian Gray. Probably for the first time in my adult life, I wish to look age-appropriate. Fresher and more vital, yes, but not like I am grasping for dear life at the last shreds of my youth. Aged 57, after two decades of tweakments – I started Botox at 37 and had filler in my early fifties – I realised that the taut forehead and ripened-peach cheeks were not only faintly ridiculous but were actually more ageing. Something about the generic mask of frozen features on a woman facing 60 shrieks inner discomfort and outer despair. This has never been more prevalent as we currently appear…

Redefining TIME

LEGS LIKE A RUNWAY MODEL, LONG and thin. This was my late 1990s, turn-of-the-millennium, Y2K, Paris Hilton dream, in which the beauty currency was lean, coltish – and blonde. I’ve been accused of blonde-envy before, by a man I was entangled with; and to be honest, however much it dates me, these qualifiers of beauty have never really left me. At the shows in Paris, I’m still in awe of the couture mixture of Upper East Side clients and ageing PRs – the original fashion-elite pup-peteers, in the biz since the 1970s – as they totter round in their Chanel twin-sets. And of the enviably skinny legs of the stylists, many of whom (see Carine Roitfeld and Emmanuelle Alt) were once models themselves. Having never had the height – I…

SWINGS and turnabouts

HAVE YOU EVER FELT seething rage for no apparent reason? Have you ever been so frazzled that you can’t think straight? Or broken down in floods of tears when subjected to mild criticism? I have. And so have the 30 to 40 per cent of women in the UK with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), defined by the NHS as ‘a collection of physical and emotional symptoms that can occur in the two weeks before a period’. Though their causes are not fully understood, these can range from mood swings to anxiety, and bloating and cramping to breast tenderness: in other words, a concoction of bliss. PMS had been a part of my life since my teenage years but, in my late twenties, it started to become an issue. Ten days before…

SWINGS and turnabouts

A WEEK TO GO BEFORE I SLEEP beneath the knife. Panic on a drab November afternoon already sifted with darkness like soot. Somewhere close, a hedge is being flailed; blades biting in too deep, the scream of sap. I try to blink away the vision of a knife inserted into the socket of my eye. What happens if I can never close my eyes again, like Keats’s ‘Bright Star’, ‘watching, with eternal lids apart,/Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite’? I skip back a year, to the moment when I stared at my face in the mirror and couldn’t smile away my age. How it weighed with a force more desperate than gravity, like revenge for vanity. For we must all wither. Age is entirely natural, after all, but so is the wish…

In addition, the London and Harvard-educated surgeon has a deep appreciation of art, and of beauty in all its forms: a Guggenheim professor at the Louvre, he even collaborated with the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen in developing the concept of ‘Facelift Couture’ (whereby photographs of your younger self are used to guide surgery, for a result that keeps your uniqueness and personality wholly intact). This specialist in deep-plane face- and neck-lift surgery is adored by his patients for not only making them feel beautifully…

KOREAN DERMATOLOGY Dr Jinah Yoo Yoo is the Korean consultant disrupting the world of dermatology. She is the founder of the Maylin clinic in London and there are a further nine franchises in her homeland, to which she frequently travels for further training on aesthetics and lasers.

First, says Acharya: ‘Patients have a session of Purasomes [bovine-derived exosomes], which I micro-needle into the skin, and these are followed by three sessions of Plinest polynucleotides.’ The result is glassy skin that gleams with…
