POP 040/ Friday, 10 July 2009

Today’s Pop is Simon. Preparing for a major retrospective of his work at London’s Photographers Gallery next week, this charming stylist is getting in shape via a secret “balancing the baguette” exercise.

Remember: to divide the world merely into rice eaters and wheat eaters is a simplification.




Other Simon Secrets. A Pop 5:

1. He collects white ceramic toast racks.

2. His mother was a celebrated hotelier.

3. He takes stimulants and then takes walks, often next to rivers while listening to Eno on headphones.

4. He has a drawer in his outdoor office full of tiny, precious light bulbs.

5. His fetish? Green leather shoes, Sir.
