Owen Maclaren designed the undercarriage for the Spitfire, Britain’s most famous warplane, and years later applied the same thinking to create the first foldable pram. Aluminium rods enabled the plane undercarriage to retract and fold into the fuselage, so he used the same material for his prams.
Art & Design
Before his fame and as a young student in New York, Tom Ford visited the townhouse of a fellow designer Halston. “I copied everything, the long, low grey couches, everything, from Halston’s apartment for the Gucci store design.” Ford loved the actual Halston place so much that he bought it in 2019.
