The Safari Leisure Jacket

This outfit from The Man with the Golden Gun may be the one most to blame for Roger Moore’s undeserved reputation for always wearing a leisure suit as James Bond.

Unlike Moore’s traditional safari shirts, this one is a structured jacket.

MERCEDES-BENZ A 45 AMG / QUICK TEST

Christopher Shannon harks back to the era of super clubs and badly designed flyers for his latest collection. Spring Summer 2014 “celebrates the anything-goes era of Liverpool & Manchester clubs like Cream, Garlands and Paradise. Influences are drawn from the experimental, post-rave, pre-high street club clothing, updated for our time.” New Era mesh bucket hats, translucent rubber shorts in fluorescents, superb Liberty fabrics in zip heavy outerwear, Kickers remixed and plenty of that laddish flavour you’d expect from Shannon, so much to enjoy

Palm Beach Boheme

James Andrew, Palm Beach from the Mediterranean and Moroccan inspired homes created by Mizner to the Lily Pulitzer frocked beauties strolling barefoot along Worth Avenue, Palm Beach has always had an element of the opulent boheme…. It is, after all, the tropics, and so why not infuse one’s home and wardrobe with a bit of bohemian exoticism! For the interiors I create for my clients, I always try to capture the essence of a place, and Palm Beach makes for the perfect combination of old world elegance and relaxed tropical beach resort – big, bold, and beautiful statements that compliment a number of different architectural styles are a key factor in creating a super chic Palm Beach style – think: rooms tented in batik fabrics, Moroccan furniture with mother of pearl inlay, and a ravishing riot of color. Contrasting exotic and classical elements, I’m playing the part of the Palm Beach boheme.
