GQ videos of their cover shoots have always helped us feel like we’re there, watching Eddie Redmayne work with the best photographers — in this case (Giampaolo “Giampy” Sgura), groomers (Petra Nina Sellge), and stylists (Tobias Frericks) in a London townhouse.
The London location of the GQ Germany photo session with Eddie Redmayne seems apropos of the subject and his interests in art and literary works.
It’s known as the Roger Fry House, located in Fitzrovia near Regent Park, the British Museum, and north of the West End theatre district.
Fry (1866-1934) was a member of the intellectual Bloomsbury Group of authors and artists, with deep roots at Cambridge University (Eddie’s alma mater), and he conducted pioneering sessions at the house, known as the Omega Workshops, to assist artists, writers and designers to publish and display their works independently. Fry was also the first to bring awareness of modern art to Britain.
The building has been honored with one of the English Heritage Blue Plaques that note modest but historic locations in London, and now as the site of an international photo session that showcases its charm — and a great actor, intellectual, and art aficionado.
The new GQ Germany cover with Eddie Redmayne’s first foray into pink suiting caused us to review some of his most eye-catching color choices — made even more charming by the knowledge that he is color-blind. We can’t choose a favorite.
