CULTURE & FASHION
For me its always a pleasure taking a little trip down to London, a place packed full of style, exciting new developments and concepts. Whilst there I was lucky enough to experience one such concept that is growing rapidly in popularity throughout the big city and Europe, this is of course endoSPHÈRES therapy. At Nyumba, number one Sloane Square, I caught up with Pietro Simone to see and try out the treatment for myself.
It’s crazy to think we are in the month of September already and unfortunately, given most of us live here in the U.K, that means the end of the lovely hot weather and blissful sunshine. Now annoying as this may be, don’t consider packing away the sunglasses just yet as with the incoming crisp, Autumn and winter months also brings with it that low piercing sun, something beautiful but tricky, especially during that morning commute. With this in mind, it is the perfect time to consider a new pair of sunglasses in which recently, I caught up with the folks at Black & Lizars to check out their amazing range and pick out something really sharp.
Just now during these summer months I have found myself going a bit daft for brands from across the pond, specifically The Golden State. Recently I had a look at Chief Made, a quirky, street orientated take on the regular pocket square, in which I then decided to order myself one of the stunningly sharp fedora hat’s from another Californian brand, that of Brixton.
When we talk about about handkerchiefs, it is something that usually makes us think of Saville Row and good old Great Britain. The well refined gent tucking one into his breast pocket as he ventures out for the evening. Refreshingly however there is a new handkerchief brand on the scene, all the way from sunny California who have put out a slightly more modern take on this age old accessory. Step forth CHIEF MADE.
Everyday, anniversaries are celebrated throughout the world, and every so often, one comes round which is truly special, worth stopping for and admiring. This year of course we celebrate automotive manufacturing perfection with 50 years of Mercedes AMG.
For me candles are something which gentleman out there still need to explore much more. Online and in high street shops, there is a good range to choose from, all hailing from various countries in mainland Europe. It is extra special however to have a brand much closer to home, one which offers an incredible varied range of scents guaranteed to warm your home and reinvigorate your senses. I’am of course talking about Timeless Candles.
It is a known fact that Italy is a hub of creativity and is considered by many, as the home of fashion, art and design. For me it was no surprise then to see an emergence of an outfit like D.Sign, a startup which has a particular focus on 3D printing absolutely stunning, functional objects for purchase.
We all know the backpack is a very popular accessory just now with statement pieces from high end brands such as Fendi, Valentino and Givenchy visible everywhere we go. Recently however I decided to check out a brand, fresh to the shores of the U.K and drawing inspiration from those vintage alpinist’s and explorers. I’am of course talking about Doughnut Bags.
Summer is now in full bloom and revellers up and down the country are looking for bars and beer gardens to sit in with various refreshing drinks and cocktails to compliment. Delightfully, I was lucky enough this past weekend to check out the perfect summer accompaniment, a little hint of Mexico in the form of the “Patrón The Summer” Cocktail tour.
In this day and age we can get bespoke services in so many items. Mostly it tends to be in shirts, suits and luggage, not so much shoes which is crazy considering the amount of time we spend on our poor old feet throughout the day. Enter then the chaps from BrokenBird Bookmakers, here to take us and our feet into the world of 3D scanned bespoke footwear.
