Poppy de Villeneuve at the Soho Grand

Nyloners addicted to the jet-set lifestyle should be sure to make a pit stop at Poppy de Villeneuve’s new photographic exhibition at New York’s hip Soho Grand Hotel.

This Brit girl has style in spades and a lineage to die for: her mother, Jan, was one of the most celebrated models of the 1960s and 1970s, dad, Justin de Villeneuve, discovered and managed the model Twiggy and Poppy herself was photographed by both Mario Testino and Juergen Teller before her 18th birthday.

But she’s now decamped to NY and proved her credentials behind the lens as well. A photographic repetoir shot using her signature Hasselblad is diverse as a series on the life-serving inmates of ‘Angola’, the Louisiana State Penitentiary to commissions for Nanette Lepore’s new fragrance campaign and for Elizabeth Arden. Her editorial work is featured regularly in The Saturday and Sunday Telegraph magazines, The Guardian Weekend, Dazed and Confused, Esquire, W Magazine and both British and American Vogue.

The new exhibition has a musical theme and captures star-struck fans and pulsating crowds watching live performances, rendering them inert in their worship of the gods of rock.

Until 2 September 2009, The Gallery in the Soho Grand Hotel, 310 West Broadway, NY, NY 10013, 212 965 3000, www.sohogrand.com
