PFW: Kanye after-party and Loewe
We hit up Kanye’s West’s after-party in Paris last week – the Roc-a- Fella himself certainly knows how to throw a bash, with guests busy throwing themselves around a go-cart track and dancing to Azealia Banks’ pop-bitch MC-ing. Loewe’s typically blackened and sour-faced AW12 collection was showcased, too – check out our back and front-stage […]
PFW: Lanvin after-party
This AW12 Paris Fashion Week, we hit up the Lanvin after-party and bumped into Pharrell, Dita Von Tease and a horde of Moet-supping party revellers along the way. Here’s what we saw…
RECAP – Paris Fashion Week
In a season filled with designer musical chair sagas (apart from Jean Paul Gaultier taking helm as Creative Director of Diet Coke, which was harmonious), their inflicting drama came through in the clothes.

Kevin Amato – F*ck the Golden Years
Street-stomping reportage photographer Kevin Amato will from tonight exhibit his newest collection, F*ck the Golden Years. The display, hosted at Casa de Costa’s pre-war arthouse in lower Manhattan, studies The Bronx at its most feral and blithe – a scathing realism simmers beneath scenes of play and sun-kissed whimsicality. We caught up with Amato as […]

Wonderkind: Tiia Vanhatapio
A tattoo parlour in Helsinki isn’t an unusual place to find Tiia Vanhatapio, one of Finland’s leading fashion designers. She likes tattoos and in less than an hour her latest ink will have spread across her left forearm. I stand up to shake hands and right away she starts telling me about her new clothing […]
The Worlds of Cartier
Cartier’s newest film short, The Worlds of Cartier, reimagines the brand’s story in various quasi-fantasy forms – from the noirish Parish boutique that its creator Louis ran at 13 rue de la Paix, France, to Jacques’ – his UK-based cohort – store at 175 New Bond Street. Over the pond, Pierre developed the brand from […]
Book Club – High Reads
Talking about the effects of drugs is boring. A person talking about the effects of drugs while they’re ON drugs is worse.
