When planning Edun’s upcoming fashion show, Bono initially suggested an elaborate outdoor production with models that appeared to be emerging from the water. Ms. Sullivan wondered what would happen if it started raining.
“I felt like a schoolmarm,” says Ms. Sullivan. “I sounded like his math teacher saying, ‘OK now, Bono, let’s just regroup here. We are having a fashion show. Show is the second word. Fashion is the first word.” Ultimately, they compromised: the show is taking place in a semi-outdoor space in Chelsea.
Ms. Hewson confirms the account and says the wonderful thing about her husband is that “he is unencumbered by practicalities.”
Out of Africa, Into Asia
Bono and Ali have put about $20 million of their own money into keeping EDUN alive (WSJ article) http://bit.ly/asUHRz
Happy 28th Wedding Anniversary, Bono & Ali.
August 21st, 1982.
Having lunch with Ali Hewson, the wife of Bono, lead singer of U2, at the Clarence Hotel in Dublin, partly owned by her husband. Their oldest daughter, Jordan, turns up dressed in the typical teenage wardrobe of skinny jeans, bomber jacket and trainers. At 15, she is already a beauty, with huge, blue eyes. “Her dad’s,” beams Ali. “I remember when I saw Bono on stage for the first time and all I could see were his eyes, it was as if they were lit up. They were electrifying. Amazing.”
