White linen, not hair, for Jupiter Drawing Room shirts
Not much evidence that the small matter of a global recession is affecting the fortunes or lifestyle choices of the Jupiter Drawing Room, South Africa.
The two-agency brand, which became part of WPP this year, and is headed by the fastidious and fiercely English Graham Warsop, has brought an 18-strong contingent to Cannes for the entire week.
And as part of the "reward" that Warsop unashamedly admits the Cannes trip is, the group went en masse for a day trip to Picasso's castle near Aix-en-Provence the other day.
The castle has been closed for 35 years and remained just as the artist left it but has been opened by his daughter for three months this year.
"It was just amazing," the white linen-clad Warsop told me at thenetworkone party.
With no pretence of having to cut his cloth to suit more subdued times, Warsop is delightfully upbeat. The recession has been good for his group, he claims, because clients are looking for agencies with case studies of work that works.
