Editor’s Blog

I was delighted to host a Condé Nast party at Vogue House yesterday with Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, as guest of honour. The occasion was the launch of the book Sensual Purity, published by Condé Nast on behalf of Mercedes-Benz, and Gorden enthralled the audience in his Q&A session with me, holding forth with his casual brilliance on the future and importance of design.

My personal highlight" Chatting to Gorden and my colleague GQ Editor Dylan Jones (who didn’t know each other before) about design – two design gurus, one concentrated conversation of inspiration. I am a firm believer in media (books and magazines, like LUX) as design and art objects in themselves, and everybody finished the evening even more convinced of this, I think.
