    CMYK by The North Face

    The intricacies that goes into digital colour curation are actually pretty undervalued, most notably the base for all digital printing CMYK. Broken down into Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key the four ink printing method actually relates those most often used in colours in combinations. The model actually works by subverting each colour from white light…

    LUMINOUS | Cheeky Smile by JUSBOX

    As far as I’m concerned, fragrance is an artform, a form of expression that transcends the traditional; the fourth dimension I call it, invisible and intangible, yet pertinent. Fragrance has the ability to convey a personality, a mood, a brand message and most importantly— your taste. Used correctly, fragrance is essentially an extension of self.…

    Nike Tech Pack – Fall 2018

    The tracksuit has had a few negative associations to say the least. While ideally worn as a pre (or post) exercise uniform many have seen its credibility take a few hits – unjust to say the least. If anything, the tracksuit has become an ensemble that has been re-invigorated by luxury houses interpretation, adding fits…

    VERTEX | In defence of time

    With no way to tell the time, the world seems to spin on without us. Sure, we can see the shifting clouds overhead, and the darkening of the day, but our place – our purpose – has no orientation when we don’t have the facility to track the seconds ticking by. It’s something we take…

    REIMAGINED | BLACKBIRD INCENSE

    Incense has always been an intriguing type of fragrance to me mainly due to its unique characteristics and ‘tone’ of smell. In its pure incense format, the dense tangibility of scent has seen incense used as an accompaniment for pious ceremony, but the personality of incense goes far beyond the format. Any fan of the…

    ROUND UP | International Men’s Fashion Weeks SS ’19

    International Fashion Weeks and more notably Parisian and Milanese houses are at an interesting point. Decorated in heritage yet fully aware of the casualness that surrounds the industry.

  • Round up | London Fashion Week Men Spring Summer ’19

    Round up | London Fashion Week Men Spring Summer ’19

    When I thought about London Fashion week for Men I’ll be honest I had some hesitation. The reason being? In recent years I felt like it had become a hub for extrovert designers with no intention of creating ensembles that made any sense both metaphorically and aesthetically. It felt like it had just become a…

    Lacoste x Supreme 2018

    Lacoste has many facets to their ensembles. Most notable is their relationship between the court and Rene Lacoste’s resilient, yet ground breaking, approach to tennis wear. But while this will forever be in the history of the brand, a similar rise within streetwear has also assisted to help build their authenticity. Their emphatic influence on…

    Accessories have always needed to blend seamlessly into a wearers life while maintaining a visual point of difference. This is even more poignant in an engagement centric world where excessive logos are king. That said, there is so much to be said for brands that balance authentic product with genuine storytelling.
