Gabriel Everett and James Andrew
If you’ve been following us over the past few weeks, you’ll have seen that we’ve created some rather epic images with the help of our beloved Gabriel Everett. It was just beyond fabtastic to collaborate again with my gorgeous young friend and having the chance to spend some bromantic time together. I do feel that we have a cosmic connection - it truly was a joy working on these pictures.
Thankfully, as we mentioned in an earlier piece, it’s not goodbye to Everett for long - in fact we’re thrilled to be reconnecting again in Los Angeles later this month. We’ll be culminating our WIJW California road trip there, and Everett is already scouting some fab stories for us to shoot. We look forward to sharing those with you all on WIJW in the very near future!
We still did feel compelled to celebrate Everett’s last night here in the NYC with dinner at my favorite local haunt, Blue Smoke - we drank far too many martinis followed by substantial amounts of rosé - and suitably inspired, we returned to my flat to create the super glam photo above.
Recalling the days of Lord Lichfield and David Bailey in Capri, I dressed Everett in vintage Gucci medallion print pants, white linen jacket, Charvet turquoise silk pocket square and woven leather flip flops from Capri, and a rope belt by Orlebar Brown. I’m wearing a Tom Ford indigo and Ivory silk glen plaid jacket, navy and white dot print cotton shirt, yellow retro print silk pocket square by Charvet, yellow jeans by Cassette, Ralph Lauren navy leather D ring belt, Hadleigh’s royal gingham tasseled slippers - we are both wearing Tom Ford Neroli Portofino - Scott McBee’s “Indigo Ostrich” provides a rather splendid backdrop.
Fantásticos!! Muy guapos!

I am dazzled by Gabriel’s six-pack abs. What is the secret? Let me run to the gym and perform the plank exercises for a few hours nonstop! Bye for now…

P.S. Nice chromatic handshakes among the adorable ostrich, Gucci pants, Charvet pocket square, armchair fabric and more!
James,
Blue Smoke…love the name- it reminds me of going to Bob Gingold’s shop in the village and seeing his blue cigarette smoke against his chalky dark aubergine walls…
Dean
Querido Juan,

My Dear CD,
Mr Everett’s inner beauty is even more striking , he is indeed quite the inspiration and I am honored to have him as a muse.
Glad you see ALL the thought and great care that went into composing this shot.
Cheers
JA
Dear Dean,
When you are back in NYC we will meet at Blue Smoke for a martini or 2.
Cheers

I echo everything CD had to say, love the colours and composition, and on top of that you’re both adorable!
My Dear Oonagh,
Thank You!
It was a super chic and sexy celebration of Mr Everett- his talent and our friendship!
Cheers
