ARTISTS
FASHION DESIGNER
Pam Hogg’s studied
printed textiles at The Glasgow School of Art where she won a prize for
distinction and then won a scholarship for The Royal Society of Arts, which
took her onto The Royal College of Art. She launched her first fashion
collection in 1981 and was part of the new wave of designers who rocked London.
She is feisty independent, talented and continually surprises the fashion world
with her innovative ideas. More contemporary than contemporary, she thrills
London with her designs.
ARTIST
ARTIST
Duggie Fields
studied art at The Chelsea College of Art, and he is a colorful character on
the art scene.
One of my favorite
paintings of his is in this house, a blonde Marilyn type woman in tight
trousers, sexy, modern and with a 1950’s twist, he embodies what I love about
the art world, and introduces you to his world of vibrant personalities. He
strong personal style is to be admired. I have been a fan of Duggie’s for twenty years. Tonight he he generously
donates a print to his audience in Los Angeles.
ARTIST
Nigel Daly
romantic and sensuous paintings I adore, he embodies his ‘self taught’ ideas
and compliments my friends here in Los Angeles. He has a cheerful and wonderful
character that is admired.
Yassi Mazandi
talented and strong from Iran but educated in British style. A debutante who
grew into one of the best sculptures. Still early in her career, but I have
been a fan since the start. I love seeing Yassi in Los Angeles, we usually have
lemon cake with a Starbucks coffee. She studied as a photographer at Beechlawn
College in Oxford, England in the 1980’s and then continued with ceramics and
sculpture at Greenwich House Pottery, New York.
Self taught and experimental in all mediums.
FOLK SINGER AND
FOLK SINGER AND
Lisa Zane, folk
singer, and actress. I have had a crush on Lisa since I met her with my good
friend Michel Comte. Born in Chicago she has beautiful looks. In my play As I
like it, she acted as the opera singer. She has charisma and panache on stage
that few have. I love her French chanson, and ability to change her voice.
Charles Eliasch,
baritone, educated at Harrow School in London, and Mannes College of Music and
now heads towards The Royal Welsh College of Music.
He made his debut
last month at Carnegie Hall singing Shubert Lieder, Bellini and Mozart.
