It’s a modern, fun and stylish Chinese restaurant where the cocktails are sublime, the service is warm, and the food is delicious. ***Favourite store in London?*** For delivering what I want at a price I want, it has to be [COS](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=p6Xs9zyrrlU&mid=47832&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmen). For delivering an experience more akin to a museum tour or art gallery experience, there’s [LN-CC](https://www.ln-cc.com/en-gb/) in Dalston. ***Exercise of choice?*** Very little at the moment, but generally it’s a mix of gym, squash, tennis, urban running (yup, just coined it) and trail running. ***Podcast recommendations?*** I’m obsessed with comedy podcasts. I love [*BudPod*](https://shows.acast.com/budpod) with Phil Wang and Pierre Novellie, [*Perfect Day*](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/perfect-day-with-jessica-knappett/id1744320313) with Jessica Knappett, and [*Wolf & Owl*](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/wolf-owl-with-romesh-ranganathan-and-tom-davis/id1540826523) with Tom Davis and Romesh Ranganathan. ***Go-to labels?*** [Found](https://found.store/), [COS](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=p6Xs9zyrrlU&mid=47832&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmen) and [Barbour](https://www.barbour.com/uk/). ***Dream car?*** Either a [Lancia Stratos](https://www.lanciastratos.com/en/), [Lancia Delta Integrale](https://lanciamc.co.uk/lancia-delta-integrale/) or [Audi Quattro](https://www.audi.co.uk/en/models/etrongt/audi-e-tron-gt/). ![](https://media.slman.com/_v6mHPxoXTXMMUoOhLJI1pf2Q0Y=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F03%2Fsl-man-250325-get-to-know-the-sl-men-5.jpg) [White Collar Fine Striped Shirt, £180 | Eton](https://www.etonshirts.com/gb/en/product/white-collar-striped-twill-shirt); Tie | Vintage; [Raga Space-Dyed Open-Knit Alpaca-Blend Cardigan, £365 | Corridor](https://MrPorter.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4JRj/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrporter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmens%2Fproduct%2Fcorridor%2Fclothing%2Fcardigans%2Fraga-space-dyed-open-knit-alpaca-blend-cardigan%2F1647597347231167); [Como Suit Pants, £99.95 | Les Deux](https://lesdeux.co.uk/products/como-suit-pants-pants-anthrazit) ![](https://media.slman.com/G2vZNvlwbt9_kkmCL74EqzANplY=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F03%2Fsl-man-250325-get-to-know-the-sl-men-3.jpg) [Combed Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt, £90 | James Perse](https://MrPorter.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4JRj/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrporter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmens%2Fproduct%2Fjames-perse%2Fclothing%2Fplain-t-shirts%2Fcombed-cotton-jersey-t-shirt%2F3024088872927410); [Slim-Fit Pinstriped Wool-Blend Seersucker Suit Jacket, £395 | MR P.](https://MrPorter.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4JRj/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrporter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmens%2Fproduct%2Fmr-p%2Fclothing%2Fsuit-jackets%2Fslim-fit-pinstriped-wool-blend-seersucker-suit-jacket%2F1647597350508973); [Philip Tapered Pinstriped Wool-Blend Seersucker Suit Trousers, £195 | MR P.](https://MrPorter.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4JRj/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrporter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmens%2Fproduct%2Fmr-p%2Fclothing%2Fsuit-trousers%2Fphilip-tapered-pinstriped-wool-blend-seersucker-suit-trousers%2F1647597350508971) ![](https://media.slman.com/tT80tdztmEKdw0JNtxEbcHk73CA=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F03%2Fsl-man-250325-get-to-know-the-sl-men-4.jpg) ## Maiya Kati ### model at SLMan & founder of YllCorp ***Best meal you’ve had recently?*** Steak and lobster at [Steak & Lobster](https://www.steakandlobster.com/). ***Exercise of choice?*** I go to the gym. Bench press, press-ups, pull-ups. And I like to stretch in the morning. ***Podcast recommendation?*** There's a Caribbean podcast called [*Rated 18*](https://open.spotify.com/show/5YoJ72vyTuVg8u2w7ID461). They're dynamic. I feel it's just me, my friends and my uncle chilling and laughing. They’re always cussing each other. Nobody is safe. Someone will try to open up about something and they will turn it into a joke. That's just how it is with guys. That's how we deal with things. ***Go-to labels?*** I used to be heavily into [Puma](https://uk.puma.com/uk/en), but now I like [Diesel](https://uk.diesel.com/en/), [AllSaints](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=45532&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allsaints.com%2Fmen.html&LSNSUBSITE=LSNSUBSITE) and [Levi's](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=p6Xs9zyrrlU&mid=53153&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.levi.com%2FGB%2Fen_GB%2F). ***Dream car?*** [Lamborghini Urus](https://www.lamborghini.com/en-en/models/urus). ![](https://media.slman.com/it977ON-f6rgXq1u2MFl5_0YF5Q=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F03%2Fsl-man-250325-get-to-know-the-sl-men-7-new.jpg) [Tellaro Honeycomb Knitted Cotton Polo Shirt, £135 | Wax London](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=31261&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwaxlondon.com%2Fcollections%2Fknitwear%2Fproducts%2Ftellaro-blue-honeycomb-knitted-cotton-polo-shirt); [Haworth Tapered Cropped Pleated Cotton-Twill Trousers, £85 | Frizmworks](https://MrPorter.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4JRj/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrporter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmens%2Fproduct%2Ffrizmworks%2Fclothing%2Fcasual-trousers%2Fhaworth-tapered-cropped-pleated-cotton-twill-trousers%2F1647597344065629); [Suede Penny Loafers, £265 | MR P.](https://MrPorter.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4JRj/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrporter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmens%2Fproduct%2Fmr-p%2Fshoes%2Floafers%2Fsuede-penny-loafers%2F1647597357478649) ## Joe Baker ### commercial team at SLMan ***Preferred coffee spot?*** Some bougie, overpriced café like [Jolene](https://www.jolenen16.com/) or [Popham’s](https://www.pophamsbakery.com/) near Angel, which has this maple and bacon swirl. It’s so delicious. I tried to go yesterday but there were queues for days. ***Best meal you’ve had recently?*** Lunch at [Koya](https://www.koya.co.uk/) in Soho. It just felt like really authentic Japanese food. ***Favourite store in London?*** My favourite place to shop is Redchurch Street in Shoreditch. There are cool stores around there like [Club Monaco](https://www.clubmonaco.com/). ***Exercise of choice?*** Currently, I’m trying to work on my [CrossFit](https://www.crossfit.com/), but I need to start running for the Hackney Half in May. I've done it without training before, so I'll be fine, but I need to start getting some long runs in. I also do yoga and Pilates. ***Podcast recommendation?*** I like [*Easy French*](https://www.easyfrench.fm/) because I’m learning the language, but also [*Modern Wisdom*](https://chriswillx.com/podcast/) by Chris Williams depending on the guests they have, and [*The Rest Is Politics*](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-rest-is-politics/id1611374685) when I can bear to listen to Rory and Alastair. ***Go-to labels?*** [Reiss](https://reiss.prf.hn/click/camref:1100lriSN/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reiss.com%2F), [Massimo Dutti](https://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=359443&a=3296018&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.massimodutti.com%2F), and [Lululemon](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=57911&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lululemon.co.uk%2Fen-gb%2Fhome) for minimalist sports gear. ***Dream car?*** [Mercedes](https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/) 300 SL in silver or white. ![](https://media.slman.com/2PslEmGCPhssaFKY8E2FPj4nGpI=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F03%2Fsl-man-250325-get-to-know-the-sl-men-1.jpg) [Brushed Shetland Crew Neck Jumper, £225 | Drake's](https://www.drakes.com/products/black-brushed-shetland-crew-neck-jumper); [Selvedge Denim Tonal Stitch Five-Pocket Jeans, £295 | Drake's](https://www.drakes.com/products/ecru-12-7oz-selvedge-denim-tonal-stitch-five-pocket-jeans); [Logo-Appliquéd Cotton-Twill Baseball Cap, £60 | Small Talk](https://MrPorter.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4JRj/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrporter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmens%2Fproduct%2Fsmall-talk%2Faccessories%2Fcaps%2Flogo-appliqued-cotton-twill-baseball-cap%2F1647597342843931); [Weejuns Layton Kiltie Moc II Leather Tasselled Loafers, £205 | G.H.

That was cool. I also went to [Kricket](https://kricket.co.uk/) in Brixton which was nice. ***Favourite store in London?*** [Clutch Cafe](https://clutch-cafe.com/). If I could afford it, I would buy most things from there. You’ve just got to be careful you don't go too far down into the Clutch aesthetic – you can become a walking pastiche of that person. But it’s great for jeans. ***Exercise of choice?*** A lot of walking, usually. ***Go-to labels?*** [Our Legacy](https://www.ourlegacy.com/), though ideally about three years ago – it plays into streetwear a lot now but it’s still wicked. I found a cool brand in Copenhagen recently called [Another Aspect](https://www.anotheraspect.org/). The whole setup is like [Aimé Leon Dore](https://www.aimeleondore.com/) but less on the nose of the trends and a little more timeless. [American Vintage](https://www.americanvintage-store.com/gb/en/) is amazing for knits. ***Dream car?*** One of the older [Land Rover Defenders](https://www.landrover.co.uk/defender/index.html). ![](https://media.slman.com/rcfTgqKX7ztOcfPPSftpK3L84Y4=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F03%2Fsl-man-250325-get-to-know-the-sl-men-9.jpg) [Montague Ribbed Organic Cotton Vest, £30 | Wax London](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=31261&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwaxlondon.com%2Fproducts%2Fmontague-white-ribbed-organic-cotton-vest); [Alban Marl Mohair Blend Cardigan, £125 (was £155) | Wax London](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=31261&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwaxlondon.com%2Fproducts%2Falban-grey-marl-mohair-blend-cardigan); [578™ Baggy Jeans, £95 | Levi's](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=53153&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.levi.com%2FGB%2Fen_GB%2Fclothing%2Fmen%2Fjeans%2Floose-jeans%2F578-baggy-jeans%2Fp%2FA47500022); [Wilde Chestnut + White Penny Loafers, £250 | Duke + Dexter](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=45380&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.com%2Fdeeplink%3Fid%3DetT1jgERWYw%26mid%3D45380%26murl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fdukeanddexter.com%252Fproducts%252Fwilde-chestnut-x-white-penny-loafer%26LSNSUBSITE%3DLSNSUBSITE&LSNSUBSITE=LSNSUBSITE) ## Tunde Ogunsina ### founder of Forest Colard & SLMan contributor ***Best meal you’ve had recently?*** It was at [Nipotina](https://nipotinaristorante.com/) in Mayfair. It’s Italian, it’s small and it’s very fairly priced. ***Favourite store in London?*** It would have to be [Our Legacy](https://www.ourlegacy.com/). The store is great. It's always empty, but it's not because they don't sell. It just feels like you've got a personal appointment, which I like. ***Exercise of choice?*** Weight training. But then on the weekends I will run, probably 10km on Saturday, and spin on a Sunday. ***Podcast recommendation?*** [*Ladies Who Launch*](https://weareladieswholaunch.com/) by Rochelle Humes. Everyone should listen to that. ***Go-to labels?*** [Duke & Dexter](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=p6Xs9zyrrlU&mid=45380&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fdukeanddexter.com%2F&LSNSUBSITE=LSNSUBSITE). Big up, Archie. I'm also gonna have to say [Uniqlo](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6771&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uniqlo.com%2Fuk%2Fen%2F). It has these women's trousers a lot of men wear. I didn't want to get sucked in, but I've bought a pair and they’re great. They sit on your waist nicely and they've got a nice silhouette. Uniqlo also has great socks. And can I say [Zara](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=32887&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zara.com%2Fuk%2F)? I think I'm quite good at finding cool pieces there that look like they're not from there. That’s why I love it. ***Dream car?*** I've always wanted a classic[ Aston Martin](https://www.astonmartin.com/en-gb). I could have said Lamborghini though – I do love an [Urus](https://www.lamborghini.com/en-en/models/urus). When I'm 35 and I've got six other cars, an Urus would be an addition.
