Hailing from rural Nebraska, Weiland is now a fixture on New York’s fashion scene. A graduate of Vanderbilt University, his namesake brand has been worn by Gossip Girl’s Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) and Blair Lively (Serena van der Woodsen) and at the 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, his designs were described as the “cool-kid collection.” His is a talent that will soar.

Robert Maxwell (1923 – 1991)
“The Bouncing Czech” was variously an MP, a spy and a media mogul. Before his empire collapsed he stated: “You are as safe with me as you would be in the Bank of England.” He was a notoriously bad tempered beast of a man and in death he remains as large and as colourful as he was alive. Various theories can be found on the internet about him being killed by Mossad, working in a fish and chip shop in Huddersfield and hanging out with Shergar the racehorse. Thankfully, instead, he’s safely been laid to rest on the Mount of Olives.
