James Blunt

Back To Bedlam, the debut album by British singer/songwriter James Blunt, was released in October 2004, on Custard Records, an imprint label partnered with Atlantic Records, and founded by singer/songwriter-come-producer, Linda Perry, who initially found fame with her Bay area band 4 Non-Blondes in the early Nineties with the global smash ‘What’s Up?’.

Nine months following the release of Back To Bedlam, the former ex-soldier found himself at the top of the charts globally with ‘You’re Beautiful’, a self-confessed tale about the balladeer finding himself confronted with seeing an ex-girlfriend on a London Underground train with her new beau.  The song struck a chord with an international audience for its universal message of desperate, lost love, bringing Blunt various accolades including to-date over 14 million sales with his debut release, five Grammy award nominations, two Brit Awards, two Ivor Novellos, two MTV Awards, one Q Award, one MTV Europe Award, and the list goes on.

Following one of the biggest-selling debuts by a British artist ever, James Blunt has embarked on a 20+ year career spawning six additional studio albums, over twenty Top Ten international hits, multi-million selling ‘best of’ compilations, two self-authored books, a feature film documentary, two TV series, various roles in film, a London pub, and that’s just scratching the surface…  Following ‘You’re Beautiful’, the singer/songwriter has ranked up multiple global smashes including ‘Goobdye My Lover’, ‘High’, ‘1973’, ’Stay The Night’, ‘Bonfire Heart’, ‘Monsters’, ‘OK’ and more.  Considered today to be one of Britain’s cherished national treasures, the pop star also finds himself selling out arenas in most corners of the world.  Not too shabby for an ex-soldier who endears millions with his self-depracating humour on social media.

Daniel Roseberry

Daniel Roseberry is an American fashion designer and artist who was born in 1985 in Dallas, Texas. The son of an Episcopalian priest and an artist, Daniel grew up in a conservative household steeped in both religion and art, a tension that would later shape his distinctive design perspective. He has served as the artistic director of Schiaparelli since 2019, and is the first and only American born designer to become a couturier of a historic French maison.

Before moving to Paris, Daniel spent a decade training at Thom Browne in New York, where he ultimately became Design Director for both men’s and women’s collections.

At Schiaparelli, Daniel has earned widespread acclaim for honoring the legacy of the house—the fusion of fashion and art—while leading it into a new golden age. Drawing deeply from founder Elsa Schiaparelli’s fascination with Surrealism, he has reinvented her iconic motifs of anatomy and the natural world through bold new expressions in jewelry, hardware, and silhouette. At the same time, he has continued the house’s tradition of technical innovation, rebellious materials, molded leather, and sculptural metal, further blurring the lines between fashion and fine art.

Under Daniel’s direction, Schiaparelli—once considered the last great “sleeping beauty” of the fashion world—has reemerged as haute couture’s most daring voice, offering a powerful vision of how fashion and art can co-exist in the 21st century. In 2024, he was named CFDA’s International Designer of the Year.
