THE TASTE ISSUEeditors’ letter

The Taste issue seeks to embrace the flavours of FAULT. Forged in London, fired in New York, flambéed in Paris ... the FAULT palate is thoroughly international. That said, London has always been our spiritual home: it’s where the magazine was born and where a large number of our contributors are still based. For most people, their city of origin forms a major part of their identity; it infuses their desires, their sensibilities, their TASTE.

Who better, then, to feature on our front cover than North London born and bred supermodel Daisy Lowe? And who better to inspire Giulio Iurissevich’s work “The Queen”, commissioned exclusively for FAULT Issue 14? In the illustration, details from Louie Banks’ stunning shoot with Daisy meld with pop culture and high culture references galore. From the Clash to McQueen to “God Save the Queen”—and everything in between—this is our take on timeless taste.

Never mind the bollocks.

This is your FAULT.

“Generally speaking, I think that working without excessive calculation, when you can work with ease and freedom, gives you some creative breathing space. That way, you can work with your own instincts rather than under the pressure of rigorous guidelines. That is what I did with this piece, even though it was a special commission.Being fearless, I feel, is the best way to reach a

true result—both for your own integrity and also for commissioned work, when you have to play the game a bit, when other people are looking over your shoulder. A lot of my best works are always a perfect accident: authentic, spontaneous, uncontrollable. This, for me, is true inspiration.” —illustrator Giulio Iurissevich on “The Queen” (page 1), a special commission for FAULT’s Spring 2013 Taste issue.

STYLEphotography JAMES D. KELLY illustration CAROLINE LAWLESS

Taste, the theme for this issue of FAULT, was chosen by British style arbiter Tallulah Harlech. Occasionally referred to in the context of her mother, the iconic Lady Amanda Harlech, Tallulah’s sartorial sensibilities are entirely her own. After having the pleasure of working with Tallulah, who has been acting as the magazine’s chief stylist in recent times, we can wholeheartedly attest to her single-mindedness in all things, and in particular her wholly individual taste. The budding actress is a highly respected member of the British Fashion Council and works, in that capacity, as an international ambassador for British fashion.

FAULT Issue 14’s fashion content was curated exclusively by Tallulah: Each editorial refl ects her own inimitable sense of style. We would like thank Tallulah for acting as a source of inspiration for our Taste and for her advice on how to present it throughout this issue.

Spring 2013 | Taste 71

With such an incredible portfolio of work, with whom do you like working the most? I love working with all [my] clients. Applying makeup is such a personal thing; you really get to know the person. Seeing the “magic” that makeup can achieve and paying attention to each and every client and making that person (no matter who they are) feel great about

themselves—whether it be a model, a celebrity or anyone else—is what it’s all about for me.

After all these years in the industry, what keeps you motivated creatively as an artist?I love trying new things. I love people-watching and seeing what’s going on in the streets—what’s happening out there.

You’ve worked with so many celebrities. How does that di�er from, say, runway or fashion-oriented work?The biggest thing is time; there is never enough time! [Laughs] The reality is that, the bigger the celebrity, the less time you have with them. They also have a billion people with them, so you have to take that all in stride. The same applies for the runway as well. I do thrive off pressure, and I always think about the person I’m working with. Say, for example, at international fashion weeks: Models are in and out of so many shows with so little time between them, so we [myself and my team] always work as fast as we can and are conscientious to be careful and as gentle as possible with each model we work with.

We love the fact that you also promote men’s grooming and makeup. Can you tell us more about that?More and more men’s skincare—as well as makeup—is becoming mainstream, acceptable and less “scary”. I’ve filmed a few video tutorials but, put simply, basic skincare is a must, as is just playing around with different looks. For instance, eye liner for a smokey rock ’n’ roll look, concealer to even out skin tone and blemishes . . . basically, just try a few things out and have fun with it!

T he first thing you should know about John Stapleton is that he has spent time not only behind the camera, but in front of it as well. With a background in fine art, Stapleton originally started o� in the industry as a professional model. He applied

the same principals of his formal artistic training to the fashion world. His approach to makeup in particular is simple in the fact that it’s all about the person with whom he is currently working. It might sound obvious, but the critical aspect of make up artistry does not lie in any one technique or method, says Stapleton, but in approaching each client individually based on their needs.

Makeup, John says, is an art form in which the human face is the canvas. The most important factor in that artistic process, however, is the personal interaction between the make up artist and his/her client(s). Stapleton is truly a “multi-threat” in the business: His incredible work can be seen on the faces of countless celebrities, in print editorials and—last but certainly not least—on runways for the likes of McQueen, Ferragamo and Missoni. Undoubtedly, it is his unique multi-genre expertise that has made him such a stand-out name in the makeup community.

FAULT had the pleasure of working with John and one of his personal clients, Kelly Osbourne, last Summer for FAULT issue 12. We caught up with John again this year at the Sundance Film Festival, prior to his numerous jobs at fashion weeks around the world.

LAST WORDst martins lane hotel

organ’s Hotel Group has a proven track record of providing sophisticated urban hospitality with a flourish. We showcased another of their London hotels, The

Sanderson, last year in FAULT Issue 10. Just like the Sanderson, the stylish St Martins Lane Hotel is a triumph of boutique designer chic.

In addition to the expected perks of a sumptuous five-star venue—ideally located in the heart of Soho in Central London—the St Martins Lane Hotel has an edge over most “luxury” accommodation because of its incomparable taste. From the outside, the full-length glass exterior to the entrance somehow manages to look understated in its elegance. Impenetrable white curtains act as the perfect veil for the beauty housed within, where a minimalist scheme finds balance in delightful individual designer pieces of furniture. Indeed, each item in the lobby—from the regal, cream-crested armchair to the series of enormous white columns that fill the hall—seems more of a work of art in itself rather than a mere base object. Designer Phillipe Starck finds beauty in the bare lines of the building rather than in arbitrary flourishes of grandeur. Once inside, one realises that the main feature of this room is, in fact, the light itself that floods through the one part of the entrance that is not artfully disguised by curtains: the implausibly tall yellow glass revolving doors.

The trick of o�setting the clean, airy backdrop with charmingly singular design pieces is not, however, maintained throughout the hotel. Far from it. Oversized chess pieces await the more curious

guest, while a thirsty one will venture further through the lobby towards the Light Bar. The latter is a wash of sometimes-sharp, sometimes pastel colours, and the bar takes its name and nature from the built-in skylights that flood the room, along with a series of intriguingly gratuitous candles and candelabras.

The idiosyncratic Asia de Cuba restaurant is an institution, best left to the palate of the guest in question than for a brief review, which would hardly do the sumptuous international cuisine any justice. Su�ce to say that innovation meets gastronomical excellence in this space of condensed and superlative beauty.

The rooms themselves o�er unprecedented views of London from a unique vantage point in the centre of the city. Again, better to take a look for yourself than to rely on our words—check out one of the hotel’s exquisite suites as showcased in our editorial with Max Irons (check out his feature in our Men’s section, which starts on page 107) for a taste of the understated splendour on o�er.

Overall, we can do no more than give our highest recommendation for the superlative St Martins Lane Hotel. More of a lifestyle choice than mere accommodation for those who appreciate beauty in its simplest, most elegant form, the St Martins Lane hotel is a natural choice.
