Tweed

Last Saturday, London was besieged by a veritable monsoon of breeches and bicycles, 'tally-ho's and 'I say's, lambchops and handlebars (both the 'tache and rather necessary bicycular accouterment), as well over 100 be-tweeded chaps and chapettes embarked on a 20-odd mile two-wheeled saunter through town.

Beginning, aptly enough, with a meander down Saville Row, they rolled at a most gentlemanly pace through the West End, around Regent's Park, along the Embankment and across the City, ending up (after a brief sojourn at Tour de Ville for a spot of tea and cake) at the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club   – where prizes were given for dapperness and moustachioed finesse, and many a cucumber-tinged Hendrick's and tonic was supped in the process.

    Shop windows are the eyes into fashion's seasonal soul, and with Spring firmly on its way in, it's all change. Liberty's Renaissance sees a Safari theme take over the interiors, whilst Selfridges have gone all ancient Rome on us and Topshop are already gearing up for Fashion Week.

  • Alice's Adventures at the Met

    When Alice fell down the rabbit hole last Thursday, who'd have thought she'd end up at the Met Bar?

  • Proud's Christmas Coat

    Proud continued it's theme of seasonal transformation with a typically anarchic take on Yuletide, designed by Russel Sage Studio and Danielle Proud.

  • Red Bull Cola Libre Tasting Party

    We asked you to come and play with us, and come you did; to the rather fabulous Red Bull Space complete with well-stocked bar, DJ booth spinning some 80s power classics, and wrap around terrace to view the poor blighters who hadn't made it in.
