Horsing Demurely

“There is only one race greater than the Jews – and that is the Derby,” said Sir Victor Sassoon. Born in Naples, Italy, in 1881, to a wealthy Baghdadi Jewish merchant and banking family, Sassoon was educated at Harrow School and Cambridge University – an aptly symbolic start for the future 3rd Baronet of Bombay. The roots of the Sassoon lineage lay in ancient Babylon and David Sassoon, the patriarch of the family and great-grandfather of Victor, was a Prince of the Captivity, an ancient and honourable hereditary title given to leaders of the Jewish community in Baghdad, held by his ancestors before him. Thus, unlike some other distinguished and influential family houses, the younger generation who later came to England were able to infuse their rank in society in the manner they were born. By the mid-1800s, British imperialism was expanding – an inducement for ambitious merchants like th

In August 1959, Aristotle Onassis was pictured driving a custom-made Fiat 500 Spiaggina ‘Jolly’, with the magnificent baroque waterside Dolmabahçe Mosque in Istanbul as the backdrop. In the photograph, Onassis is unmistakable in his trademark François Pinton-made Onao framed sunglasses, which likely dimmed the sight in the corner of his eye of Sir Winston Churchill dangling his emblematic Romeo y Julieta cigar from his teeth. Masked ever so slightly by Churchill’s undress service cap, the headwear of the Royal Yacht Squadron that Churchill perennially donned aboard yachts or pleasure vessels, with the undeniably beautiful Tina, then Onassis’s wife, together with Churchill’s other half, Clementine, peering in the same direction from the back seat, we could probably guess which infamous yacht had moored behind the mosque. Born in Smyrna, present-day Izmir, Turkey, in 1906, Onassis was know
Coveting Freedom

“You wore an ordinary overcoat, no hat. And in spite of that, we liked each other very much.” “We’ve had terrific get-togethers,” responded Cecil Beaton to Samuel Green in the drawing room of the suite that Beaton had decorated at the now historic New York landmark, The Pierre Hotel on the Upper East Side. The April 1978 issue of Interview featured the virtuoso hippy de luxe interior designer Suzie Frankfurt, who was present at the exchange; when she chimed in with, “I’m sure meeting Cecil changes everything,” Green retorted, “I was terribly unsophisticated before I met Cecil.” Encompassing a nose for bold-faced names with wealth, mainly for a clique of transatlantic artists, Green concocted pivotal roles, first as a curator, then an art dealer, and more influentially as a salient proponent of the early promotion of Pop Art. In the interview, Frankfurt asked Beaton about Green, “Where di

“I never saw a girl with such beauty, such magnificent intelligence, such goodness and charm,” said the French novelist Marcel Proust about Gladys Deacon. Born in Paris in 1881 to wealthy American parents, she was at the tender age of 11 when her father, Edward Deacon, shot and killed Frenchman M. Emile Abeille in the Hotel Splendid in Cannes – a crime fuelled by jealousy, as the deceased was, not unexpectedly, found crouching behind an armchair in the bedroom of his wife Florence. In early 1883, Florence’s father, Charles H. Baldwin, having already served with distinction in the Mexican-American War and Civil War, was promoted to Rear Admiral and assumed command of the European Squadron. That year Florence turned 20, and her alluring natural dark blonde hair, along with her undeniably beguiling facial features, captured the attention of high society in Newport, Paris and Rome, where a l

The IRA’s series of bombings on Oxford Street, London, marked the beginning of 1977. The fanfare of the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II followed, and then the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The release on July 1 of the Sex Pistols’ song, Pretty Vacant, would officially signal punk as a distinct subculture and musical movement. Then, across the pond, on July 13, New York City suffered a wipe-out day-long blackout. Together, they would erupt a concoction of chaotic and spellbinding emotions. On that unlucky date, the guests at the Palm Court in the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan would dine under candlelight – a more convivial atmosphere in comparison to all of the mayhem, only exacerbated by criminals unleashing opportunistic terror. However, if we begin this sequence of culturally significant events on the Halloween weekend of the previo
Villa Mystique

I was offered a free villa in Hollywood, but I said “No thank you; I prefer to live in Italy”, said the late Italian film composer, Ennio Morricone. Born in 1928 in Rome, under Italian fascist rule, Morricone was the son of a professional trumpeter and small textile shop owner, and he would grow up in the bohemian and artistic rioni of Trastevere. There he’d be admitted to a school in third grade with a certain Sergio Leone, who would later become the iconoclastic filmmaker who, with numerous scores from Morricone in his revolutionary pictures, including A Fistful of Dollars (1964), became the pioneer of the spaghetti Western genre, but with many thanks to the inimitable film music mastery conjured up by Morricone. His mythical composing repertoire was a revered style that would influence Hollywood’s fabled past, but his personal psyche belonged to Italy. A Fistful of Dollars – whipcrack
Vested Interest

On January 2, 2024, cinephiles and admirers of Michelle Yeoh, the lionised Bond girl from Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), were unintentionally fooled by the fact that she had welcomed her first child. In good humour, she clarified her post caption, which included “A little miracle on the first day of 2024″, by uploading a picture of herself in a heartfelt embrace with her husband, Jean Todt, while using a new caption. “Thank you, darling Nicolas and Darina, for making us the happiest and proudest grandparents!! Welcome, baby Maxime.” Nicolas Todt, the son of Jean, is the manager of Monegasque Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, and his influence in auto racing spans driving management, scouting – and team ownership – all responsibilities undertaken at the apex of motorsport’s pyramid. This was the place where his father, Jean, spent many decades, and if Egyptian mythology included open-ended ape
French Connection

On April 2 nd and 3 rd 1987, Sotheby’s Geneva absorbed the attention of the world’s most acute eyes on royal gems. The French-speaking Swiss city would be the setting where on a rostrum the auctioneer’s gavel struck the wooden block to signal the acceptance of the highest bids, which in this noble instance were for 200 jewelled treasures consigned by the Duchess of Windsor, formerly Wallis Simpson. Spearheaded by Arthur Weinstein – a bon vivant and after-hours outlaw – the World, located in Alphabet City, Manhattan, sprouted in a haze of artistic progression in the mid-80s. In the ensuing years, it would earn the moniker of the most iconic nightclub that you’ve never heard of. But it was a playground of freaky glamour, where you would see Romy Haag from Berlin, the forgotten muse of David Bowie, who was also a popular fixture in the club. And then you had the Herreras, Reinaldo and Carol

“I intended to reach the 100 million (franc) mark, then settle down as an honest man and marry the girl I love”, said Dante Spada. Born in May 1929 in Codroipo, Italy, the elusive criminal drew a circus of intrigue, notably fuelled by newspapers that would, in the instance of the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune on August 24, 1952, use ‘Phantom of the Riviera’ as their headline for an article. The American mystery writer David Dodge compared him to the French film star Jean Marais, for his swashbuckling good looks. And it was Dodge whose decision, in the spring of 1950, to take a modest villa above Golf-Juan, near Cannes, would lead to arguably the most truthful and fascinating exposé of the unthinkable spiderweb of royalty, magnates, designers – and robbers. It is two of the latter, the aforementioned Spada and René ‘la Canne’ Girier, of whom more later, who have mesmerisingly ignited the for

“Despite the forecast, live like it’s spring,” said Lilly Pulitzer. She eloped in 1950 with Herbert (Peter) Pulitzer, a bon vivant, raconteur and aesthete, particularly within the social elite dominions of Palm Beach. Despite already being a well-marked heir and heiress, in sync with their innate free-spirited, bohemian and laid-back demeanours, together they curated a vision, through Peter’s founded business which supplied prime oranges to Tropicana, and Lilly’s spilt-juice-inspired Palm Beach-made floral and vibrant dresses, that refreshingly unearthed and represented the abundance of cheerful growth that spring brings. On March 20th the vernal equinox arrived, signalling the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. You might visit Hyde Park in London or the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris; when you walk your beloved dog – not Lilly’s pet rhesus monkey – direct your gaze towards the bud
