Aside from my role at LUX, I work as Editor in Chief of Conde Nast Contract Publishing, and this week we had a little launch party at Vogue House for Salt, the new fashion magazine we have launched with Swarovski. I co-hosted the party with Nadja Swarovski, and it was an enjoyable occasion in the autumn gloom of London, as Conde Nast editors and publishers mixed it with Swarovski’s glamorous executives, alongside by some interesting figures from the style and design worlds, and models and stylists from our shoots.

Magazine launches are all too rare these days, so it was good to be able to toast the rise of our reborn fashion and design title with a few cocktails and some creative buzz. LUX will have its own party next year!
