Kind of flashy

The indefatigable Alan Yentob is back for another (short) series of Imagine - and this time he's managed to fit in a trip to Venice, following six Iraqi artists to the Biennale. But at 64, Al's showing no signs of slowing down - and was spotted by Oscar (Barry's son) Humphries at a wonderful party. This from Oscar's Vogue diary...

We went to Marco Voena's amazing dinner for Schnabel at a palazzo covered in jasmine. It looked like a film set. His daughter Lola was the DJ and the crowd was the right kind of flashy. Jay Jopling and Alan Yentob were the Brits at this (refreshingly) largely Italian gathering.

Just my sort of do.
