Weds 14th March: The Fabergé Big Egg Hunt


Leading on from yesterday's post with Mary Katrantzou's Fabergé Egg inspired AW11 collection to an actual giant egg she has decorated with blossom entitled "Teflon". If you are in London at the moment, you may well have come across it and any number of the 200 other artist customized giant colourful shells. So what eggsactly is going on? Its the world's largest egg hunt organised in aid of two charities - Elephant Family (protecting Asian Elephants and their habitat) and Action For Children. You can pick up a map from Selfridges to guide you round the 12 zones across town to locate each designer's work ahead of the final auction next Tuesday 20th March. Whatever field of creativity you are interested in, all disciplines have donated their eggspertise to the project from Peter Blake to the Chapman Brothers in art ....... from Michael Van Der Ham to DVF in fashion.......... from Kate Moross to Moshi Monsters in graphic design ............ from Rob Ryan to Danny Sangra in illustration..................... from Ridley Scott to Quentin Jones in direction .............. from Bompass & Parr to Rhea Thierstein in props .............. from Andrew Logan to Hannah Martin in jewellery ............with Marc Quinn and Zaha Hadid currently on the highest bids.
