I SOMETIMES MISS the magnolia blossoms in London and think of them a lot. Things are slowly getting ready to open again here and perhaps, if all goes well, we'll be able to visit them again, along with the wisteria in Notting Hill. This week we're deep in things from the past, for the vintage Sony stereo that P won on an online auction through reckless bidding finally arrived today ...
THERE SEEMS TO be a strange matchstick shortage in England, almost as if everyone here has succumbed to a winter of lockdown by lighting fires all day long in our stone cottages, keeping cosy and making the best of it. That is definitely what we are doing, and I couldn't find any boxes of matches anywhere and had to order mine from Lithuania ...
35-year-old fashion designer Christian Vincent Siriano is perhaps best known for winning the fourth season of American design competition show Project Runway, becoming the series' youngest winner. Siriano studied in London under the direction of fashion luminaries Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen and launched his eponymous collection in 2008, showing each season following at New York Fashion Week.
IN THE PAST WEEK, we ate a little too much, drank a little too much, and watched a lot of holiday films. I did something that was very strange to my being, a thing very foreign to me, a thing normal people refer to as relaxing. For the first time in a very long time, I did not work for five days straight. It was wonderful, actually.
THIS WEEKEND we put up the Christmas lights and watched The Holiday with wine and popcorn. Yes, it might be a little soon, but this year needed cheering up, so we're beginning early. We're also wrapped up in the holiday mayhem that comes with tracking down missing packages and making sure everyone receives everything on time and are in the midst of beginning a brand new ...
WE'VE COVERED the work of Leanne Ford before here at TIG, but this project, with its fieldstone fireplace and log cabin vibe, has drawn our attention to the American interior designer once again. Set in Rustic Canyon, a residential neighbourhood and canyon in eastern Pacific Palisades on the west side of Los Angeles, California ...
If you’ve been listening to The Weeknd’s long-awaited fourth studio album, After Hours, you should know there’s more heartbreak where that came from. A little over a week after releasing the enigmatic collection of breakup songs — presumed to be predominantly about his ex-girlfriend Bella Hadid — the singer surprised listeners on March 29 with three new bonus tracks: “Nothing Compares,” “Missed You,” and “Final Lullaby.”
SOMETIMES THE BEST way to see upcoming trends is through a scroll on our Instagram feed. Lately, we've been seeing warm pinks especially in leather jackets, and often paired with buttery yellows and rust. There are also soft, feathery pinks as well as bold magenta, icing sugar shades as at Elie Saab and dusty, eighties shades on the streets of London. Scroll through for our favourite ways to wear this always lovely shade...
When I first saw images of Oursin (above), the seafood restaurant by the fashion designer Simon Porte Jacquemus and Caviar Kaspia, located on the 2ème étage of the Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées, was immediately reminded of a snippet of film or video I watched with P recently about an artist who constructed his entire home with alcoves and cubbies ...
Hinds’ sophomore album I Don’t Run arrived just under two years ago. The Madrid quartet has moved at a pretty steady clip since they first popped up in the middle of the ’10s, and the release of “Riding Solo” in December hinted we might be on the cusp of another Hinds album.
