In Town Last Night: Elle, Nigella et al at ICA fundraiser

To celebrate its sixtieth anniversary as one of London's most distinguished cultural hubs, the ICA hosted its annual gala dinner, 'Figures of Speech', on Wednesday night at the Lawrence Hall, Victoria. Elle Macpherson (left) came along in support, along with socialites Florence Brudenell-Bruce (centre) and Lady Sophia Hesketh (right). Meanwhile domestic goddess Nigella Lawson was among those invited to take to the stage and speak for five minutes on their most treasured possession, in an effort to raise funds for the institute's future artistic projects.
