THE ACCESSORY

HexClad x Still GIN

Ditching Dry Jan? Us too. We’ll be keeping one of the darkest months of the year lighter with a little help from this HexClad cocktail shaker. It’s been designed in collaboration with Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg's brand Still G.I.N and celebrated industrial designer Ini Archibong. The double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless-steel shaker – available in chrome and gold – costs £89 and has been designed to make your cocktails ice-cold not your hands. Its 740ml capacity makes it just the right size to shake up to two cocktails. Because it’s been made by a premium cookware brand, you can count on it being leakproof too.

THE MONOCHROME STUNNER

Nouvelle Vague

Shot in black and white, Nouvelle Vague is a comedy-drama film directed by Richard Linklater (Before SunriseBoyhood). Starring Guillaume Marbeck as Jean-Luc Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo, it follows the 1959 shooting of Breathless, one of the first feature films of the New Wave of French cinema. It looks absolutely cinematic – and will surely be a must-watch for anyone who loves Paris.

THE COLLECTION

Percival x Champion

Champion and Percival have come together again to create a winter collection that draws inspiration from the golden era of resort style. Merging the athletic heritage of Champion with the contemporary stylings of Percival, the lineup features soft fleece crewnecks with subtle co-branded details and graphic touches, elevated by crisp Oxford shirts and a selection of clean and essential layers that will look as good in the pub as on the slopes.

THE PIT STOP

Kuro Coffee x Harvey Nichols

Kuro Coffee has opened at Harvey Nichols, taking pride of place as the sole hospitality offering within the newly reimagined 125, the ground-floor space that showcases global designers and emerging talent. This is Kuro’s first permanent home outside Notting Hill. It features a bold, minimalist design with deep red walls, clean lines and a sleek, modern counter. Guests can expect the same exceptional coffee blends and premium single-origin offerings, alongside fragrant teas, traditional velvety matcha and baked goods including cakes, cookies and signature cream-filled sakuras.

THE COFFEE-TABLE BOOK

Bang & Olufsen

Bang & Olufsen began not in a design lab but in a farmhouse in Struer, Denmark, where Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen shared a belief: technology should be as beautiful as it is functional. From the sculptural form of its speakers to the tactile refinement of its headphones, every B&O creation remains a testament to craft, acoustic precision and design integrity – nearly a century later. This new Assouline book celebrates the people, passion and timeless aesthetic behind the brand.

THE HOTEL

Chesa Marchetta

Later this month Artfarm – the group behind the Fife Arms in Braemar and the Audley Public House in Mayfair – will open Chesa Marchetta, a 13-bedroom hotel and 46-cover restaurant in the cultural heart of the Engadine, Sils Maria. The historic guesthouse, once frequented by artists including Gerhard Richter and Jean-Michel Basquiat, has been restored over four years by acclaimed architect Luis Laplace, who also designed Artfarm’s Mount St. Restaurant in Mayfair. The hotel will be led by GM Federica Bertolini, who launched the Fife Arms, while the restaurant will be headed by chef Davide Degiovanni (ex-5 Hertford Street, Gordon Ramsay’s Union Street Café), who’s inspired by the pioneering seasonal cooking of the original owners, the Godly family.

THE TRAVEL INSPIRATION

The Mark

The Mark – New York’s most boldly lavish hotel – has unveiled a collaboration with Assouline: a custom book celebrating the hotel’s legendary glamour and coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Jacques Grange’s transformative redesign. Written by New York Times bestselling author Derek Blasberg, the book offers an insider’s look at Grange’s visionary re-imagination, brought to life with bespoke pieces by creative luminaries including Karl Lagerfeld, Guy de Rougemont, Paul Mathieu, and Mattia Bonetti. It also spotlights the extraordinary guests and cultural figures who have shaped the Mark’s mythology, particularly its star-studded role as the unofficial home of the Met Gala.

THE GROOMING LINE

Rick Owens x Selahatin

If one of your new year’s resolutions is to look after your teeth better, may we point you in the direction of Rick Owens’ new line for oral care brand Selahatin? For the collab, Vural developed a custom Selahatin aroma inspired by Rick Owens’ world, with a brief that included the words ‘monochrome’, ‘architectural’ and ‘quietly magnetic’. The result is a minimal olfactory silhouette which opens with sharp verbena and vanilla, cuts through with juniper, dark citrus and rosemary, and settles into black pepper and peppermint for a clean, metallic aftertaste. For a taster of the full range, opt for the travel kit, which includes a whitening toothpaste, a 50ml mouthwash, a concentrated mouth spray, and a handmade horn toothbrush.

THE RESTAURANT

Ronnie’s

American fashion brand Kith has launched its first ever restaurant. Ronnie’s is a Mediterranean-inspired New York bistro named after Kith’s founder, Ronnie Fieg. In the same building as the brand’s London flagship on Regent Street, you can find Ronnie’s through the main entrance or via Kith’s womenswear section on the ground floor, where they’ll be greeted by an elegant cocktail lounge, with vintage-style red leather barstools, serving vesper martinis, old fashioned and spicy margs. The main dining room features family-style booths beneath a gallery of photos dedicated to Kith’s home city – plus there’s a stylish takeaway café and outdoor seating.
