Skye Sherwin's A Good Look

This subtly kinky Olympics poster by pop artist Allen Jones is currently on show at Pallant House gallery, alongside other artists’ designs for the 1972 Munich Games.

Fashion-cum-art photographer Juergen Teller has declared Lily Cole to be his muse, and a squint at Pixar’s upcoming Brave suggests he’s not the only one.
