THE cognoscenti in the Art World will be assembling in London this week for Frieze London, from October 17 to 20 in Regent’s Park. Celebrating its eleventh edition, and redesigned for 2013, Frieze London coincides with Frieze Masters and features over 150 of the most exciting galleries today, from Berlin to New York and London to Tokyo. For tickets and information, please visit FRIEZE LONDON.
To find out the real scoop, we asked our friend Fernanda Gilligan, co-founder of Art Set International to help us to pack a last minute bag. Naturally we, shopped NET-A-PORTER, the London company that has taken the city by storm with their SAME DAY DELIVERY! “Shoes, nothing like the right pair to help you see the art more clearly! With all of the hours you will spend on your feet this week covering the ground not only at Frieze London, Frieze Masters and all of the auction houses, galleries and satellite fairs and events (oh my!), tired toes will thank you for starting out in the appropriate and chic footwear.”
Following Fernanda’s sage advice, we started with the Proenza Schouler Rubberized Leather Pumps $675, for great comfort and style. Whether paired with the Joseph Leather-paneled Wool Dress $695 or Michael Van Der Ham Camouflage-Print Textured-Silk Top $510 and J.Crew Eaton Cropped Stretch-Wool Pants $150, your classic, creativity will be on full display. For keeping warm in the London chill, buckle up with Victoria Beckham Denim Leather-Trimmed Wool-Blend Felt Cape $995 and wrap up with Alexander McQueen Printed Silk and Modal-blend Scarf $550. Then pile on the necessary statement accessories, Oscar De la Renta Gold-Plated Crystal Clip Earrings $465, Oscar De la Renta Gold-Plated Crystal Cuff $535, Hervé Van Der Straeten Hammered Gold-Plated Hoop Earrings $190 and Kenneth Jay Lane Hammered Gold-Plated Cuff $140. To look like an art maven, carry along the Chloé The Alice Large Leather Tote $1995, large enough to hold your Stella Mccartney The Falabella Leopard-Print Jacquard Clutch $1000, and Gianvito Rossi Mesh-Paneled Suede Pumps $770 for a fabulous night out on the town.

“Not to be missed: Sarah Lucas at Whitechapel Gallery–raucous, explicit and may not suitable for children – and maybe even adults.” Fernanda Gilligan
