Charles Saatchi: The Hideousness Of The Art World
Being an art buyer these days is comprehensively and indisputably vulgar. It is the sport of the Eurotrashy, Hedge-fundy, Hamptonites; of trendy oligarchs and oiligarchs; and of art dealers with masturbatory levels of self-regard. They were found nestling together in their super yachts in Venice for this year's spectacular art biennale. Venice is now firmly on the calendar of this new art world, alongside St Barts at Christmas and St Tropez in August, in a giddy round of glamour-filled socialising, from one swanky party to another.

Yeah, That's right West coast, west coast Uh, California Love California Love
Superhero movies be damned, festival season is underway. Indeed, by the time you read this, this writer will be winging his way to (hopefully) sunny Italy to spend ten days or so resolutely avoiding getting anything like a tan at the 69th Venice Film Festival. The first under the new leadership of Alberto Barbera, it's lived up to his promise of being a less glitzy, more sober take, with no major studio fare to be found, and a line up that emphasizes international auteurs over the American and British filmmakers who dominated in previous years. Even so, it's an incredibly exciting slate, featuring two of the most widely-anticipated premieres of the year, new films from a number of maverick directors, and hopefully plenty of pleasant surprises too. To get you ready for our coverage (which will kick off on Tuesday), we've picked ten of the films we're most looking forward to seeing on the Lido. Keep checking back for the next week or so to read our reviews of all these, and more.
In Venice With Designer Misha Nonoo
Just before the fashion set descends upon Manhattan for New York fashion week, the jet-setters of the world are making a stop in Italy next week for the 69th Venice Film Festival. For those who find themselves with a few extra minutes in between red carpets and fabulous parties (and those of us who just want to pretend we are there, too), Style.com asked designer Misha Nonoo for her go-to spots. The rising New York-based designer and her husband, Alexander Gilkes, had a lavish wedding in Venice earlier this summer (the three-day affair included guests like Princess Eugenie of York and her sister Beatrice; James Middleton—younger brother to Kate and Pippa; and Lana Del Rey, to name a few). Visit today’s Market Highs feature to see all of Nonoo’s picks.
