The Dunhill moment (and interview with Jason Beckley!)
Some time ago, we gave a quick recap of the amazing Dunhill show in Shanghai, for which we were a privileged attendee. In our May Meaning of Life Issue, we give you the whole lowdown, including a special interview with the brains behind the revival, chief visionary officer Jason Beckley. Have a read of the Shanghai show that blew away all assumptions, and our talk with the man behind the newfound attitude: Read more

Ted Baker
It was, to say the least, one of the more ‘unusual’ places to hold a fashion event. The outside terrace Caffeinees, while certainly a pleasant enough place, offers a challenge to a fashion vibe as the highway is roaring nearby. It’s not exactly a Sunday high-tea kind of feel. Still, Ted Baker did their best to make the most of it, rolling out their SS2012 collection entitled the “Great Exhibitionist”. Read more

The very brief history of the tortoiseshell
We like our classics. And as far as classics go, you won’t get any handsomer than the tortoiseshell. While there has been a surge of chunky frames in the past couple of years (readily spotted on every self-proclaimed fashionista or hipster about town), we fully endorse the bespectacled look. Provided, of course, you wear them with lenses, and you dress with manly restraint. Read more

Miuccia’s day out at the museum
In our March Globetrotting Issue, we went to one of the most stylish events of the year: the opening of the Prada 24-Hour Museum in the heart of Paris. Leave it to the world’s most intellectual and eclectic fashion icon to have a party that was the best and most interesting of the year. Our editor-in-chief Sam Coleman went, and schmoozed with some of the world's most famous faces (like, you know, Kate Moss): Read more

Here comes the old men
The first thing that strikes you when flicking through adverts and spreads of the style and fashion pages of any lifestyle magazine is how good the clothes looks on the model. Then, a wave of disappointment as you realise those clothes won't fit on normal mortals like us. Over the last decade, male models have been getting too young and too thin, inching over to the realm of the ridiculous with super-slim cut suits for the rake-thin market.
