DRIVEN | Alfa Romeo 4C Spider
Truth be told, I was unaware what to expect with the Alfa Romeo 4C – and don’t get me wrong, it was nothing against the brand. I myself have been an Alfa Romeo owner, on more than one occasion, and have fallen in love with ‘Italianess’ of the car; the expressive drives and the consistent…

HomeAway | The Whitley Coach House
One very interesting thing about travel is the range of people that you encounter; diverse and disparate they as much form a part of the journey as the location itself. Don’t worry, I shall explain. My first encounter with HomeAway was actually a recent one, when I heard the announcement that they were creating a…

A Taste of English Cricket
The nature of the longer form of Cricket means that professional players spend a substantial amount of time abroad, and if not abroad, away from home. As such the players play dietary roulette, with the crux of their meals depending on the continental cuisine of the country in which they happen to be competing. I…

No.3 | EAU D’ÉGÉE Candle by L’Objet
There is something uplifting about catching nuances of scent, carried on a gentle summer breeze as the fragrant notes of a candle are coerced in waves around the room; this feeling can now be augmented with new fragrance from L’Objet. Based on the sparkling coast of the Aegean, Eau d’Égée’s inspiration is apparent, as the nautical hues rise…

LAYTON by Parfums de Marly
It was 1743, when the French King Louis XV commissioned sculptor Guillaume Coustouin to sculpt his famous masterpiece in memory of his great-grandfather Louis XIV. Now known as “The Marly Horses” it was this magnificent work of art, that laid the foundations for the brand Parfums de Marly. Their parfums are reminiscent of the splendour…

AGI & SAM Spring Summer 2017 x LYNX
Designers Agi & Sam never fail to impress with a collection that is as coherent as it is directional, and for their Spring Summer 2017, they did not disappoint. Entitled “PAUL” this collection represented their investigation into the role of the modern man, and as such the main focus is the House-husband. “Growing up in…

JMF Residence by Ivan Rezende Arquitetura
The Rio Olympics will (hopefully) be taking place this August, and as such all eyes will once again be cast firmly on Brazil. With this in mind we take a look at a residence by Ivan Rezende Arquitetura in Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro. With a large terrace overlooking spectacular views, the JMF Residence is a…

Thinkpiece: The difference between Magazines & Blogs
When we launched the first issue of JOSHUA’s Magazine, I remember the amazement and wonderment that we encountered, people asking “How did you do it?” and I do have to confess in retrospect, I at times wonder myself, with the knowledge gap that I only now realise had existed at the time. But by magazine…

Gucci Cruise 2017 Menswear
As the length of his tenure at the helm of Gucci increases, so does the influence of Alessandro Michele as he works to return to the romantic creativity for which the brand is historically renown. Captured by British art photographer Nick Waplington at Hilles House, the Gucci Cruise 2017 Menswear collection showcases no fewer than 87…

The Grooming Station x Aveda Men
Scroll back a few years and you may recall a time when going to Toni & Guy was the equivalent of ‘grabbing a Costa’ and where hair straighteners were king. Those days – I’m very pleased to report – are far behind us, or at least that’s how it appears, as the art of barbering…

Peter the Apostle & St. Helen the Martyr Chapel
Historically, some of the most awe inspiring spaces have created in the name of religion, but in recent times, these spaces have become more utilitarian, with more Church buildings seemingly being converted for alternative uses. In fact it was only yesterday that I came across a scheme in the UK by the National Churches Trust to…

Y-3 + Virgin Galactic
In January this year Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic project took another step in the direction of finality by announcing a collaboration with Adidas Y-3 to create bespoke space apparel for their flight crew. Apparel aside, much (quite rightly) has been made of the project and more specifically about the $250,000 ticket price. But in truth,…

Creating Amazing: Lexus LC 500
The Lexus LC 500 was originally unveiled at the earlier this year at the Detroit motor show, but in truth this modern rooftop garden in Amsterdam made for an altogether more appropriate setting, befitting of the car’s urban yet elegant aesthetics . Lexus has given the LC 500 classic coupe proportions and produced an exterior…
