As we do every afternoon Monday here at The Established Man Towers, yesterday we rifled through the invitations for the coming week and sorted through the social diary, carefully plotting our course across London of an eve whilst trying to spend some time in our homes. Last night there were several options that were laid out on the boardroom table, we told you these Monday nights are no longer sacred. Had Air-Force Established Man been waiting at Northolt we'd have popped to New York for a party at Barneys in honor of Burberry and Christopher Bailey but this being pressing times we've cancelled our Netjets membership and swapped it for a Vintage Pashley bicycle, the savings we're making are enough to take breakfast at The Wolesely for the rest of our lives!
No last night was a London soiree with a dashing of Italian glamour to spice things up. Now we were far to young to have been invited Chez Gianni Versace during his reign in the Eighties hence why we never made it to his pad in Lake Como. We thought it only right we make up for it and pop along to an exclusive preview at Sotheby's on New Bond Street where much of Versace's posessions including art, furniture and collectables will go under the hammer on Wednesday. Those aproned Sotheby's specialists have taken great time to reassemble the objets as they were in that Lakeside mansion, hell its not like they've been busy of late so we're sure they relished the opportunity!
If such things as a pair of life size plaster-cast nude wrestlers, a bargain at $29,500-$50,000 estimate or some gilded bookcases belonging to a 17th Century Princess are on your shopping list then you better get bidding.
