We're a stylish lot here at W+K. Latest trend-setter to be spotted by the cool-hunters of Shoreditch is our very own Michael Sinclair, pictured here outside the agency in the current issue of Wallpaper.

Found under the noses of Ronny and Holly in reception, the L Gallery is W+K London’s very own exhibition space. Everyone from our finance staff to our Creative Directors are invited to use the L Gallery to let us know a little something about themselves. In the past we’ve had Laura V’s collection of postcards made into houses and Guy’s collection of trainers. This time, Nicholla Longley has had a play with toothpaste, demonstrating that it’s not just an everyday hygiene aid, but also a fantastic art medium… she uses to make sails!
This is
what Nicholla has to say:
"One evening
Coco my daughter, was
brushing her teeth. I
popped downstairs.
Whilst I was downstairs,
she stopped
brushing her teeth, took
the white toothpaste
and squeezed little lines
of toothpaste on to
the bathroom door.
I didn’t notice until the
next morning.
Then I saw what looked
like little white
slugs slithering up and
down the door.
It took me a second to
work out it was
toothpaste.
It looked really gross,
but good. I liked the
fact that real slugs are
horrible, and yet these
toothpaste slugs were
really quite clean
and pleasing to look at. I
also thought
toothpaste was a good
medium to make
sculptures, as it’s quite
pliable but dries
really hard."
