2003

The year was 2003, and supermodel Naomi Campbell fronted one

of Tatler’s most ambitious shoots ever. The story saw a coterie of the

industry’s brightest and best take Paris by storm, shooting a carousel of

looks at each house’s couture show – backstage, on the catwalk and in the

audience. The idea was masterminded by the inimitable Fashion Director

Isabella Blow, styled by the Hon Daphne Guinness and Charlie Anderson,

and shot by David LaChapelle. In one memorable frame, which made

the cover of the May issue, Campbell wowed in a Butterfly headpiece by

Philip Treacy. In the same issue, Tatler interviewed glamorous flatmates

(Will Young and Mary Fellowes, Jemma Kidd and Orlando Montagu),

offered insight into womens’ football (Jasmine Guinness revealed the

main reason she plays ‘is to go to the pub afterwards’), and Jaquetta

Wheeler, Stephanie Seymour and Jean Paul Gaultier also shone in the

couture-fuelled caper through the City of Lights.
