4 CADOGAN LANE
4 Cadogan Lane | The house that Judy died in. by Corinna Tomrley. Judy Garland lived, loved and died in a tiny mews house in Belgravia. The address may seem swanky (just around the corner from Gucci, Chanel, Hermes and the like) and the lane it stands on full of the cutest mews cottages, but Judy Garland’s last abode is a sad little thing. LES INCROYABLES, LONDON, 1984 Les Incroyables. , London, 1984. All scandals aside, John Galliano’s seminal 1984 Central Saint Martins graduation collection remains, like Christian Dior’s New Look of 1947 and Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking tuxedo of 1966, part of fashion folklore. This summer’s V&A exhibition, From Club to Catwalk, is a celebration of an era in FRANK GEHRY IN RIOJA The genius of Gehry’s architecture is that it changes minute by minute, according to the light. From morning to afternoon, to after dark, it’s a wondrous inhabitable sculpture. C. Hotel Marques de Riscal , Calle Torrea 1, 01340 Elciego, Álava, Spain. +34 945 180 880; hotel-marquesderiscal.com. HOTEL-DU-LAC-REVIEW-ANITA-BROOKNER The kitchen at Grand Hotel du Lac. The Hotel sits on the lakeshore, its proper name now ‘Grand Hotel du Lac’ after a couple of refurbs to rejuvenate the elegant decor. But when Anita Brookner turned up to write her novel, about a writer called Edith Hope staying in the hotel, it didn’t seem to be quite so pleasing to the eye. WHY I’VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN The film that Promising Young Woman brought most to my mind was Paul Verhoeven’s Elle, starring Isabelle Huppert. Elle is genuinely shocking and a real original. It is also unimaginable in American cinema. Rape comedies really aren’t really a genre, and Elle is wickedly genre-defying.Mark Kermode described it perfectly in The Guardian: “less a thriller than a (Bechdel test-passingMURDER, SHE WROTE

Kimono my house. Karen Krizanovich on the Edo glam of the kimono, from the 17th century to Madonna and beyond. Don’t wear a kimono in a house with knobs. Doorknobs, that is.

While I love the perennially cool likes of Liquid Sky, Downtown 81 and the oeuvre of Scorsese, one of the more offbeat movies to capture the landscape of bad old New York is Lucio Fulci’s The New York Ripper.It’s that rare giallo movie – one that ventures boldly off Italy’s soundstages.

The great English experimental writer B.S. Johnson would have been 80 this year. He died – at his own hand – 40 years ago, leaving behind a small but hugely influential body of work, including seven works of fiction, a memoir, and a scattering of playlets andjournalism.
PENGUIN CLASSICS
The Penguin English Library comprises a hundred of the best-loved English Language classics of pre-WWI literature. With a handsome series design by Coralie Bickford-Smith – also responsible for designing Penguin’s hardback reissues of F.

In the summer of 2001, the composer was engaged in transferring various “loops” – seconds-long snippets of symphonic music he had recorded in the 1980s – from analogue tape to a more durable digital form.
