Ever since we started GP, there’s been a steady stream of notes from audience members with something on their mind.We recently decided everyone could benefit from seeing some of the highlights from our frequent correspondence on a regular basis.

James Andrew at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute I’ve long been a fan of Mariano Fortuny. A true Rennaisence man, he was an accomplished painter, photographer, couturier, textile designer, stage and lighting designer and the list goes on. McBee and I had the great pleasure of visiting Palazzo Fortuny while on holiday in Venice some years ago—I still feel inspired by the memory of the home/workplace/laboratory where Fortuny pursued his many passions
Mount Gay’s Black Barrel Rum is a small batch from the mind of Master Blender Allen Smith that combines previously aged reserves from both pot and column distillates and finishes them with an extended stay in deeply charred Bourbon oak barrels. The end result is a dark coppery-gold liquid with a nose of citrus, complimented by vanilla and charred wood. ..
Alex Minsky photographed by Michael Stokes To be certain, it was these striking images that made me want to find out more about Alex Minsky—that body had a story to tell, and so I managed to contact him to glean what I could, and indeed it is a story worth hearing! While it is beyond the scope of a single post to tell, here is the outline: Growing up in Southern California, after graduating High School Minsky found himself a bit lost as many a young man is—and like many young men looking for values and adventure, he enlisted with the Marine Corps. It was while stationed in Afghanistan and on a patrol in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, that his truck was hit by an IED. “… that one messed me up pretty bad that night,” Minsky tells us, and so began an arduous recovery

Someone commented that the Boast presentation at the Harvard Club looked like something from The Royal Tanenbaums . Since Boast is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary this year, I’d say that the reverse might be true.
Today sees the opening of Bruce Nauman’s ‘Mindfuck’ show at Hauser & Wirth , Savile Row, London. Colourful, confrontational, humorous in places, Nauman’s work digs deep into the human condition, using psychoanalytic thought to explore the importance of the mind-body split, sex, death and everything in between. Focusing primarily on his neon sculptures and installations, his goal has always been to create ‘art that was just there all at once…like getting hit in the back of the neck with a baseball bat’.

Tincati Milano Happy New Years, y’all. Hopefully 2013 will be the year I can return to blogging a bit more. With a thesis, graduation, moving into New York, and the new gig at Suitsupply taking my focus in 2012, blogging was pushed to the back of my mind
» We wanted to look at an iconic figure that had a nostalgic retro feeling, that wasn’t James bond but had a similar feeling, sensibility and nature. The Milk Tray man was a character that was instantaneously recognisable yet shrouded in mystery and so we wanted to build, update and evolve this character that was assumed rather than known , » excitedly purred Amber Siegel as she introduced the autumn/winter 2012 collection of Baartmans & Siegel back in March.

Digital photography and videography have completely changed the landscape of imaging in all realms of life; creative to scientific to archiving. ”Side By Side” is a documentary investigating what changes have occurred in the modern film industry to utilize the new technological developments brought forward to digital video technology and where that leaves the original reel film mechanism. Reel film seems so bulky, inflexible, and archaic compared to what we can now do with digital film
I’ve been wanting to get a mock neck cardigan for about a year now. Mock necks, as you probably already know, are a kind of neckline that stands up, rather than folds over
We had a peek into his New York office last week, now to take a look into…his MIND. Talking Head’s David Byrne is set to publish How Music Works .

As an exchange student in the south of France, I found the pool table my host family kept in their dining room more impressive than the fresh oysters we ate nightly on that very same table when it was covered with a piece of plywood and a nice swatch of linen.

James Andrew, Rome With so much to do and see in Rome, it is hard to imagine one could possibly ever tire of it! With only a short time there, we had to pick up the pace a bit. We started quite early with a morning stroll through the Orto Botanico botanical gardens, once part of the Palazzo Corsini. Orto Botanico We then went to the nearby Villa Farnesina, which is an early Renaissance villa decorated with the most fabulous frescoes—quite inspirational for any interior designer
Maybe you have been waiting patiently for years on the arrival of a graphic novel that explores the concepts of urbanism and the tenets of modern architecture. Maybe you just like having your mind blown by high-concept manga-style storytelling.

ISAORA brings a “light” inspired collection for Spring 2013. Shapes and textiles reflect the theme in both color and weight.
The thought of flying down to Birmingham, Alabama just to visit Harrison Limited is certainly something that has crossed my mind. At the end of the day I love clothing, but what I really love is retail.
We are repeatedly told that fashion film is the future. As these proclamations echo deep in the recesses my mind, examples that surprise, excite and inspire are most rare
« Lost My Head » is the working title for the Spring/Summer 2013 Christoper Shannon collection, shown during London Collections: Men this past week. The collection inspiration should be pointed out immediately in order to answer that question: « English folklore; the 1970s English folk movement – particularly the 1974 book Native Funk and Flash; photographer James Pearson-Howeʼs exploration of obscure British folk traditions; and the tribal tourist look adopted by hedonistic gap-year backpackers in South-East Asia. » Multi-colored fabrics and patchwork with embellishments across relaxed silhouettes abound
It is the weekend edition of « 00O00h! », so I will be blogging about furniture and furnishings, the thought process and hopefully eventual outcome of what’s actually happening to my new flat. I am still living out of the boxes, and for the past two days at the London Menswear Collections, I was actually more keen on the interior designs of the show locations. Yes nice jackets and shoes, but hot furniture really floats my boat now!

photo by James Nord Joshua Kissi : It is evident that Brazil is a top bucket list destination for many and as expected we were ectastic to experience the country’s culture and people. After 10 strenuous hours from JFK Airport we landed in Sao Paulo, removed our American mindsets and what people told us to expect, we were now ready to soak in the Brazilian culture. We often try to write the majority of our ‘Travel Etiquette’ entires as we’re on our flight back home – while the experience is most fresh on the mind. We would like to thank many of you who followed us via our inspiration page while we were on the ground in Brazil, and now we present the complete article in full
Although conceived in a dark basement over ten years ago, Bon soon established itself as a publication to covet.
Admittedly the British shoemaking industry is not quite the far reaching force it once was but in a beautiful way it has come full circle. With the backlash against the over saturation of the high street in recents years and with only a handful of English shoe factories now remaining (there were 1,871 shoemakers in Northampton alone in 1841), the old pre-industrial way of lasting and burnishing a pair of shoes by hand is re-emerging and becoming ever more relevant to the client who demands individuality.

With it being Easter Sunday we all need something to occupy our mind with something other than the excessive consumption of chocolate shaped in all manner of forms and freshly toasted hot crossed buns.
