The Art of Travel — Maserati x Acqua di Parma
Until recently, I found it hard to get excited by collaborations between brands—even if I was an ardent fan of both. Fortunately, as with most trends, eventually the hype dies down, and once it does the noise disperses, and we’re able to enjoy the trend for how it began—its very essence. I’m once again seeing…

Modern Heritage — Malloch’s x John Smedley
It’s 1784. England is on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution and experiencing the driest 12 months on record. The therapeutic thrum of waterwheels and hollow clatter of hooves is the soundtrack of the day. There’s no clanging of construction to mar the mood. No UberX drivers impatiently honking their horns. Only the indistinct chatter…

Lock & Co — The Oldest Hatters in the world
Walking down London’s prestigious St. James Street you can’t help but sense the permanence of the place. I think it’s a sign of quality; permanence. Things and places that remain unwaveringly resolute in their resistance to change often seem ancient, yet still at the forefront of what is considered “great”. Let us call it tradition.…

Gulfstream — Design Takes Space
As I walked through Mayfair and turned down the relative tranquillity of Sackville Street, I suddenly felt the inclination to switch-up, mentally. It was as if my mind thought I was heading to a meeting with hedge fund partners to discuss the condition of my portfolio. I guess in some ways that’s precisely why this…

Manuel Mathieu presents Archipelago
The olfactory is perhaps our most mystical sense. Everyone has been transported or transcended to a profound place or feeling by a nostalgic scent. It’s so affecting because it is typically unannounced, always invisible and yet so psychologically tangible. Scents are also incredibly difficult to attach to other mediums, with scratch ‘n sniff still being…

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.

It is essential that conversation remains direct to its customer yet relevant to the world around it.

Griffin + Woolrich
The approach to outerwear is two-fold for many. By default, it should function as a layer of protection, shielding against the elements, yet by sheer necessity it also has to fit the stylistic approach of the wearer. Not necessarily adhering to trends but taking into account consistency throughout the seasons. Taking this notion to its…

Casely-Hayford Autumn Winter 2018
The concept of the uniform has long been defined how men should dress. While London style has taken many forms over time, with Sartorial composition dominating for long periods. It has always kept the ability to re-invent none the less – while still building on the core foundations of the male wardrobe. Yet it feels…

The North Face® + Comme des Garçons
The colder months are as much about warmth as they are functionality, as wearers seek universal pieces rather than one-off garments. With that thought process in mind the collaboration between The North Face and Comme des Garcons is very much one for the purest. The Outerwear brand has utilised the stylistic expertise of Junya Watanabe…

Aston Martin x Hogan
Collaborations between lifestyle and fashion brands are very much representative of the desire to have items that work simultaneously into our stylistic lives but also our living environment.

The greatest of products are often born by the simplest of ideas and therefore have the most impact on society. With that notion in mind the idea behind ACG (All Conditions Gear) is to provide balance, not only in the current season but also in the forthcoming. As part of the expanding landscape in functional,…

ARCHIVE | Belstaff X Vestiaire Collective
This perception that ‘new’ is better than ‘old’ is being rebuffed at the onset of each new fashion season, as the very heart of what is deemed to be luxury ebbs away with every fad and release. The love and appreciation for the time-honoured tradition of craft and workmanship is making a swift return as fast fashion…
