WHITE TRASH  -  52 Piccadilly, W1 : Sats - 3p

Exquisitely fashionable playboy aesthete Dencil of Troy is St.  Martin's  only fashion student never known to have made a garment.  Visibly talented in other fields, he played Paris for Binnie Beaux Arts and cloned Grace Jones for Julien Temple's video epic.

Shares the Toilet That Time Forgot in Camden with three others.  Uncannily modest Bernstock leads an impossibly blameless life though is said to wear ties by Simpsons in secret places.  His accessory company Tinker Tailors numbers Jasper Conran and Bruce Oldfield among its customers.
