This issue Matt Hind photo-
graphed James Middleton, who
‘rocked up in his classic Land
Rover with his five immaculately
behaved dogs – Cocker Spaniels
Ella, Zula, Inca and Luna and
Golden Retriever Mabel.’ he says.
‘Everyone knew immediately that
the dogs would be a key part of the
shoot.’ Matt found the location
especially inspiring: ‘Richmond
Park on a glorious summer’s day –
a quintessential English backdrop.’

LOUIS WISE

Freelance style and arts writer Louis
Wise speaks to Jean Paul Gaultier
about his recent theatrical debut,
Fashion Freak Show, the Met Ball,
and Eurotrash nostalgia. ‘He’s the

Met Ball’s recent camp theme. No
one (or almost no one) does camp
quite like Gaultier,’ says Louis.
‘When people have achieved as
much as he has – and on their
own terms – they tend to be more
relaxed and fun. There’s nothing
more enjoyable than hearing a
veteran’s war stories...’

breathes the sport.’

by during his visit? ‘The Korakuen
Garden, in Okayama, which is
serenity defined.’
