F-words and cigarette butts mar catwalk show

Edited by Ethan Croft

THE graduate show of Central Saint Martins fashion college turned ugly last night when a student and his troupe of models paraded the catwalk with bin bags full of cigarette butts and proceeded to throw them over the audience. They also shouted expletives and lit up cigarettes on the catwalk.

Artist Grayson Perry, actor Virginia Bates and Sarah Mower, Vogue’s chief critic, were among those pelted. We hear Mower was “really not happy”. Damian Hurley, son of Elizabeth, was apparently “very, very mad”, one observer told us.

The artist Evilkebab, left, tells us he spent three months collecting the butts off the street and from rubbish depots. “At the after party they were angry with me. People get so offended,” he said, “but if you get rich and famous, they support it.”

ADRIAN Chiles is proving adept at the art of the literary feud. Last week author Will Self wrote a vicious article about why he hates Chiles, taking issue with the urinal he has in his bathroom. Now Chiles tells Press Gazette he is unfazed by Self’s screed. “I can’t bring myself to be offended by it, although given how abusive it is, I should probably make more of an effort. Might hang it over my urinal,” he mused.

HEADS turned yesterday in Soho as a Rolls with an “HRH” plate pulled up outside burger joint Five Guys on Argyll St.

The car’s security detail looked busy, leading onlookers to wonder — was a peckish royal on a burger run? Five

Guys say they saw the commotion but didn’t serve a burger King yesterday. Just a convenient parking spot next to the Palladium theatre, apparently.
