Meanwhile, Frida Gianinni took the Gucci man on an exotic trip to post-revolutionary Russia, returning with some pretty extravagant greatcoats festooned with Cossack-inspired embroideries...
From the pack of assembled media that were waiting for him, to the protective arm of his bodyguards, Guy Hands must have come over all rock 'n' roll when he pitched up for a meeting with staff at his record company EMI on Tuesday. Hands, though, isn't an artist. His singing career hasn't gone beyond karaoke.
