Close-up: Steven Isserlis

His famous curls might have silvered, but Steven Isserlis's enthusiasm remains undimmed. For all the sophistication of his playing, for all his honours and awards, "childlike" and "innocent" are two of the greatest qualities of the 49-year-old cellist. Among his heroes is Harpo Marx, "an angel fallen to earth", while his musical favourites include the Czech pigeon-lover, train fanatic and "difficult, lovable, healthy soul", Antonin Dvorak (whose cello concerto Isserlis will be performing on a short tour).

Joss Stone: 'England doesn't like me any more'

Sunday, 20 January 2008

Joss Stone doesn't know what all the fuss was about.

How do I look?: Ozwald Boateng

Saturday, 19 January 2008

I remember having my first suit made for me at five years old; it was a dark purple double-breasted BB1 mohair number designed by my mother. This is pretty amazing, as it's that style that I'm now known for. It seems that at this age I was being sent signals – if you want to call it that – of what would happen in my life later on. When the picture was shown to me by my mother – when I was about 25 – I was just in shock. I thought, "That can't be! I'm making that suit now!"
