The SLMan Hot List: February
The Collab
Lacoste X Highsnobiety
This is the trainer collab to get excited about. Taking Lacoste’s rich tennis heritage as a starting point, Highsnobiety has added luxury and youth cultural nuances to create the L003 2K24 sneaker – an elevated take on an everyday sports silhouette. The 90s-style yellow and green sole is a perfect balance of subtle and statement.

The Show
Pharrell Williams X Louis Vuitton
It might have happened a couple of weeks ago, but we couldn’t not shout out Pharrell Williams’ latest effort as creative director for Louis Vuitton. Themed around American westerns and ranchwear, his AW24 collection debuted at Paris Fashion Week and is an instant classic – picture detailed but wearable denim jackets, chunky boots made in collaboration with Timberland, and studded belts. As well as creating an eye-catching desert backdrop to the show, the presentation was notable for the models Williams used. Backstage, he said: “[Cowboys] looked like us. They looked like me. They were Black and they were Native American.” Pass us a Stetson.

The Viral Burger
Supernova
The queues speak for themselves. Soho’s Supernova makes a great burger. If you’re yet to join the line, here’s why you should: next-level cheeseburgers, crunchy fries and sundaes, US-style. Wrapped in paper and served in basic surrounds – with pops of colour coming from obligatory red and yellow plastic bottles of ketchup and mustard – these burgers live up to the hype. If you’re looking to sign off from Veganuary in style, this is the place to do it. Want to try out more viral restaurants? Alley Cats, Ria’s and Crisp are all as good at pizza as social media claims – and you can believe the hype around It’s Bagels! in Primrose Hill too.

The Coffee Table Book
Big Sky
Coffee-table book purveyor Assouline has a number of big travel releases for 2024, and first up is Big Sky. The tome is dedicated to Big Sky, Montana – high in the Gallatin National Forest and not far from Yellowstone, it’s a place that’s become synonymous with the great outdoors. Covering skiing to fishing, this slick book is a must-see for anyone contemplating their next big adventure.

The Label
Armani
Armani is the name that’s been all over the red carpet this awards season. The Italian fashion house has dressed everyone from director Martin Scorsese to best actor winner Jeremy Allen White (who wore one of its white tuxes to collect his gong for The Bear), Leonardo DiCaprio, Brendan Fraser, Jeffrey Wright and newcomer Charles Melton, who opted for an open black shirt beneath his velvet tux at this year’s Governors Awards. Formerly of Riverdale, the May December star is being touted as 2024’s answer to Jacob Elordi – and on his red carpet looks alone, we can see why.

The Top-End Deli
The Rex Delicatessen
Last month, the team behind The Fife Arms and Mount St Restaurant opened a farm shop in Mayfair. Now, just round the corner in what’s clearly becoming a bit of a foodie hub, chef Larry Jayasekara has opened The Rex Delicatessen within the Grade II-listed former stables of No38 Bruton Place. His next-level deli serves up homemade to-go products for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all prepped daily – think game terrine, chicken croque monsieur, scotch eggs, beef wellington, lamb hotpot and baked cheesecakes.

The Send Off
Curb Your Enthusiasm
It’s the end of an era, as Larry David signs off his essential sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm. Series 12 will land on Now and Sky Atlantic on 4th February. Toe-curling and hilarious in equal measure, it needs no introduction for its many fans – but if you’ve yet to press play, consider this your reminder to settle in for 24 years’ worth of an all-time great show.
