THE HOUSE UNDER THE COPPER TENT

Tweet Covered in copper and striking on the inside, this underground house built under a London garden creates with lights and shadows a careful architectural game that leaves no one indifferent. Wedged between two tallest buildings, this London house is not (at all) what it looks like. From the outside, its roof with irregular carp covered with copper is the first thing that catches our attention but, inside, what impacts is its ability to take advantage of the outside light

THE PERFECT DAY IN LONDON

Tweet SHOP HERE Strolling through Burlington Arcade is like stepping back in history: it’s remained largely unchanged since a local aristocrat built it in 1819.

KILGOUR F/W 2015 MENSWEAR

Tweet LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM [JANUARY 12, 2015] – If tomorrow Carlo Brandelli were to lose all his earthly possessions, including the creative directorship of Kilgour (it would be the second time he’s let that go), then he’d be just fine. Beneath his tinted spectacles the designer radiates a total self-assurance that makes one think he’d do very well leading a cult. Which, to some men, is sort of what Brandelli’s Kilgour is and was anyhow. Since today’s outing was the first B

But that isn’t to say that the collection he presented wasn’t mesmerizing; it was simply more pragmatic than Spring. Green cryptically described that show as “a silent protest.” Now, he said, “The silent protest has got loude
