One morning during last season’s London Fashion Week I woke up and stumbled down the stairs from my Hackney attic bedroom only to come face to face with Lily Jones hard at work on a multi purpose kitchen mixer straight out of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. Over the days following I was treated to taste tests during various stages of an other worldly red devil recipe. Lily Vanilli’s cookbook/graphic novel “A Zombie Ate My Cupcake” has just been released and I can attest that her beauty has been matched by her baked goods. Like her crackcakes Lily is drop dead gorgeous inside and out and her, until now, secret creations are sure to satisfy the most ravenous cannibal cravings.

Reading what Max was saying about the DVN show reminded me I had this old Nick Knight book gathering dust on the shelf. It’s a classic bit of inspiration and a regular reference point for men’s designers but beautiful all the same. Dries does it justice.

THE MANIPULATOR magazine was born in 1984 into a world almost unimaginable today: no cell-phones, no internet, no Adobe Photoshop, no digital cameras. In those quondam times, it was the cordless phone, the fax machine, the colour-copier and the Apple IIc that defined the technologically savvy.
