    MEVO | The Live Streaming revolution

    I used to think that social media was current enough. You have the ability to tweet or post video updates as “STORIES” on multiple social platforms from Snapchat to Instagram and Facebook, but these ’edits’ of the day are just teasers and the social media audience are primed for a fuller experience immersion; the live…

  • REIMAGINED | BLACKBIRD INCENSE

    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…

    The Rube Golberg Machine by Chivas 18

    There has always been sense of occasion when sharing a glass of whisky among friends, family and nomads. In a society where by most elements require an instantaneous action, we rarely get the time to take note. Encouraging this theory and enabling us to enjoy these moments are Chivas 18, alongside their unique machine curated…

    AUDIOPHILE | ESTELON XC SERIES

    Much in the way fast-food marginalised the restaurant industry, audio streaming has created a “fast-music” segment where there is a higher consumption of tracks as their ease of accessibility goes against frugal listening. Having said that, the way a resurgence of healthy, niche eating has seen restaurants hit back at fast-food segment, gives the music…

  • 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…

    INTERIORS | SHIRAZ Series by Apparatus Studio

    Interior design; it’s only recently that I’ve began to truly understand its real power. I mean I’ve always had an eye for things I like in environments that I frequent, but what has developed is a more “tangible” personal connection with my surrounding space – and it appears that in that I’m not alone. While…

    ROYAL EXCHANGE | Bamford Grooming Department

    The intricacies of the modern high-street retail environment dictate that you tread carefully, and despite the fearless approach of George Bamford, his journey was no different. Having operated for years from their Townhouse in Mayfair, the Bamford offerings have grown – in variety and in depth – resulting in the timely decision to bring the…

    PERPETUAL LUXURY | ROLLS-ROYCE Cullinan

    When you think of Rolls-Royce, the notion of luxury without peer is what instantly comes to mind, and as such it came as some surprise that the brand has an esteemed history in military off-road vehicles; a legacy of endurance, in especially arduous conditions, during especially dangerous times, as an excerpt from ‘The Tank Corps…

    DESIGN | Paul Mathieu x Willer Gallery

    French educated and Los Angeles inspired, Paul Mathieu’s work was destined to have a taste that belies elegance with cross-cultural relevance. By ‘work’ I’m referring to his recent furniture collection exhibited at the Willer Gallery in London. Debuting Mathieu’s Beam and Chateau lighting collections, as well an extended range of materials and finishes in the elegant…

    LEICA | Master & Dynamic for 0.95

    The first Master & Dynamic for 0.95 collaboration saw a collection of muted black accessories to complement the timelessly imperious Leica M range, with nods to the aesthetic of the brand captured in subtle detailing, such as the red Leica AG “dot” embellishments on the earpiece. This new tribute collection to the world’s fastest aperture aspherical…

    DESIGN | Limited-Edition Wenger Wishbone Chair

    “Take a seat” Some of the most reassuring and unnerving words ever spoken, depending both on their context and environment. In this case it is most certainly the former, as the heritage and design language of a Wenger chair belies comfort, and if not at the very least respect. The ever-current Hans J. Wegner would…

    Passavant and Lee

    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. Taking this note are…

    Casa Elíptica by Mário Martins Atelier

    When unveiling the designs for the Casa Eliptica, you would envisage that one of the first questions Architects Mario Martins Atelier faced was “But why..?”. Having seen the finished outcome there can of course be no further questioning, as even the most ardent rationalist would have to attest to its beauty. I am of course…

    TRAVEL | NINE POOLS by WATG

    It truly is magnificent, to be sat by the side of a pool with a picturesque view on holiday, gazing ‘into the unknown’ with that glazed non-purposeful look knowing that your only imperative tasks for the day are what to drink and when to drink it. This is the dream realised by Global hospitality design firm WATG,…
