In any other year I would probably be in London today. Think of this guide as an exercise in catharsis, and not only for me. Perhaps you’ll read it and it will inspire you to visit London whenever you can travel again.
We would like to present to you Maison Mihara Yasuhiro’s Fall/Winter 2017 men’s London collection.
This season the designer pursues “Simplicity”. Challenging the interpretation of the word meaning “basic” or “standard”, Mihara approaches simplicity as complexity through deformed detailing and silhouettes built up from classic styles, such as a seven layer military coat.

If art is supposed to reflect the world around us, than the American artist Robert Rauschenberg is an artist par excellence. Rauschenberg was one of the most important artists in the burgeoning, energetic New York art scene of the mid-2oth Century. His ability to gather materials from the dilapidated, grim streets of New York and morphing them into art remains unparalleled, and his influence on the likes of Andy Warhol, who was heavily influenced by Rauschenberg’s silk-screening techniques, is undeniable.
London, United Kingdom – There are now three Dover Street Markets in the world (plus I.T Beijing Market, run by the same company), and none of them located in Dover Street. Following a 200% rent hike in its eponymous location, London’s most forward-thinking mini-department store has moved to Haymarket. The new outlet officially opened last week and is 3 times bigger than the original.
Last week we hosted an event for Alexandre Plokhov at Eizenstein in London.
Eizenstein is a new multi-brand boutique nestled in the heart of Shoreditch. Split over two floors, the design of the store draws its inspiration from Russian Constructivism.
Eizenstein’s premise is to be a blank canvas, pushing the gallery concept, allowing for a carefully curated selection of products.
Their selection encompasses jewellery, accessories, fragrances and a range of womenswear and menswear featuring designers such as forme d’expression, Julius, Uma Wang, DRKSHDW, Alexander Plokhov, LAYER 0 and others.
