Quintessentially, the London-based luxury concierge service founded by Ben Elliot, nephew of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, hosted the New York City premiere of Food, Inc. at the Angelika Film Center. The documentary is based on the best-seller “Fast Food Nation” and explores the industrial production of meat, grains, and vegetables in America. Lauren Bush, Daisy Lowe, and fashion scion Jennifer Missoni attended the screening in Soho.
Presidential granddaughter Lauren was a guest of Time last month at their annual Time “100″ dinner, having been honored in their Green “100″ for her contributions to sustainable design through her Lauren Pierce clothing collection. Best known as the progenitora of the FEED burlap bag, the sales of which benefit the United Nations’ World Food Program, she has committed herself to the cause of feeding the hungry since touring sub-Saharan Africa in 2005. This past April, the former Abercrombie & Fitch model honored Joeland Victoria Osteen of Lakewood Church as they distributed two million dollars worth of food within the tri-state area through Feed the Children.
Daisy, the daughter of Bush’s Gavin Rossdale and Powder’s Pearl Lowe, is the current face of DKNY, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Pringle. Once the girlfriend of producer Mark Ronson, she is currently dating Will Cameron of Blondelle, with whom she starred in a BBC Two television series. She moved to Williamsburg in Brooklyn three weeks ago to pursue greater opportunities within the arts and fashion industry of N.Y.C. as well as to be near her best friend, Nylon columnist Peaches Geldof.
