Tatler UK - 09.2019

Tatler’s Creative Director Tom Usher

worked his artistic magic across the

issue, as well as heading to Margate

to direct Olympia Campbell’s cover

shoot. The British seaside was a wel-

come change of scenery for Tom,

who’s used to jetting around Europe

and the US in search of locations.

‘It was lovely to be somewhere so

inspiring on home ground,’ he says.

Tatler’s Senior Editor David Jenkins

always keeps himself busy, and this

issue is no exception. Ahead of Nicky

Haslam’s 80th birthday, he recalls the

interior designer’s glittering decades.

‘It’s no surprise that friends queued

up to praise Nicky, he’s always fun

with the hottest gossip,’ says David.

Elsewhere in the issue, he sat down

with Olympia Campbell to discuss

witchcraft, Fashion Weeks and

becoming Prime Minister. ‘Olympia’s

godfather told me that she was a

world-champion giggler turned brain-

box – he was right.’

Born and raised in Tennessee, Rachel

DeLoache Williams moved to New

York in 2010 for her dream job as

Picture Editor at Vanity Fair. There,

she worked with the industry’s leading

professionals, but an encounter with

Russian-born fraudster Anna Delvey

proved the most significant. In this

issue Rachel shares an extract from

her book, My Friend Anna, to detail

how the fake heiress conned her out

of thousands of dollars and years of

friendship. ‘Many run-ins with con

artists and sociopaths are far worse

than mine was,’ says Rachel. ‘It could

have been much worse.’

Milan-based fashion photographers

Luca and Alessandro Morelli have

worked with the likes of Naomi

Campbell, Emilia Clarke and Kylie

Jenner. This month, the Morelli duo

shot an array of feathers, sequins and

alluring ensembles from fashion’s

latest ready-to-wear collections.

‘We loved the classic Chanel look

and the big polka-dot Dolce &

Gabbana gown.’ And what’s it really

like working with a family member?

‘Knowing each other better than

anyone else is the best – and worst

• thing about working with your
  brother,’ says Alessandro.

lived, to understand the background

to their work.’ The Countess of

Rosslyn is also the Director at the

London Original Print Fair, which

‘is like a big annual family reunion

• everyone is always pleased to see
  each other.’

In this issue, Tatler’s Arts Editor

Helen Rosslyn (pictured above with

her daughter, Lady Alice St Clair-

Erskine) infiltrates the travel section

to report that no matter where you

are in the world, ‘you’re never far

away from a wonderful work of

art.’ She explains, ‘There is a great
