What a privilege to lunch with the legendary and charming Willie Landels, design guru and founding editor of Harpers & Queen, where he launched the career of Anna Wintour, among many others. When I joined the magazine in the late 1990s, he was still being talked about with bated breath. Now in his mid-nineties, he’s designing the vibrant homewares at 5 Hertford Street. And the gossip was, of course, top notch! (We met at Claridge’s because he said ‘that’s where Harper’s Bazaar editors eat’...)
