For Canadian rapper, singer and producer NAV, music has always been as much about the process of creating as it has been about the finished record. Long before international recognition, chart success and collaborations with some of hip-hop's biggest names, he was experimenting with beats, engineering tracks and developing a sound that would eventually take him from working behind the scenes to becoming an artist in his own right.

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.” American journalist Jim Bishop certainly had a point. There's something undeniably appealing about a season that makes staying in feel like the new going out. As the clocks go back, the evenings draw in, and the heating makes its long-awaited return, spending an unreasonable amount of time choosing the perfect candle suddenly feels entirely justified. After all, if we're going to spend more time indoors, we

For Spring/Summer 2027, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez explored the meeting point between American pragmatism and Spanish heritage, presenting a collection that brought an unexpected sense of ease to LOEWE's experimental design language.

For Spring/Summer 2027, Michael Rider explored the pleasures and contradictions of getting dressed, bringing colour, character and a renewed sense of spontaneity to CELINE.

From experimental denim and architectural tailoring to traditional craftsmanship and surreal femininity, London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 offered an intriguing mix of emerging talent and established designers. Vingt Sept Magazine revisits nine collections presented during the September 2026 fashion calendar, alongside a collaboration that brought a little New York attitude to the capital.

Wine has a way of making people feel as though there is a right answer. The right grape, the right region, the right words to describe what is in the glass. At Humble Grape Canary Wharf, the experience feels much less like a test and much more like an invitation to be curious. A wine tasting here isn't about proving how much you know, but discovering why a particular bottle has made its way onto the table.

Few foods are more democratic than the kebab. It's the meal we reach for after clubbing, the one we love in the moment and occasionally regret the morning after. It's rescued countless late nights, fuelled post-party journeys home and become part of the fabric of the UK's food culture. But what happens when you take that familiar format, strip away the assumptions around what a kebab should be and give it the attention usually reserved for a more formal restaurant kitchen?

There's a point when skincare stops feeling like self-care and starts feeling like hard work. The cleanser is followed by an acid, the acid by a serum, the serum by a retinoid, then comes another brightening treatment because the pigmentation has not quite shifted. Add a few late nights, too much screen time, a long-haul flight, London pollution, or simply a period when life has been more demanding than usual, and suddenly the skin that once tolerated everything is dry, tight

There are steak restaurants, and then there are places where the steak is only the beginning of the story. At Macellaio RC Soho, the meat comes with a philosophy: respect the animal, understand where it comes from and use as much of it as possible. It's an approach that feels particularly at home in Italy, where food has traditionally been about provenance, generosity and making something memorable from what is available.

Fashion For Harris Reed, five years of presenting during London Fashion Week offered a moment to pause. Rather than looking outward, Loud Whispers looks back at the signatures that have defined the house, then strips them down to their most essential form. Colour is the first thing to disappear. White, ivory, fawn and metallics replace the exuberance often associated with Reed, allowing silhouette, texture and craftsmanship to do the talking. The result is quieter, but certai

Fashion At the Barbican Centre Lakeside, perception was part of the show before the first look appeared at Susan Fang. Silver circles floated above the water, catching fragments of the brutalist architecture, while the invitation itself changed depending on how it was held. At one angle, it revealed the SUSAN FANG four-leaf clover monogram. Turn it, and the image became a heart. It was an appropriately deliberate introduction to Air • Illusion, SUSAN FANG’s Spring/Summer 2027

Fashion For its third show, The Ouze takes jewellery out of the workshop and into the exhibition space, putting the material usually hidden within its making process firmly at the centre of the story. Blue carving wax becomes the starting point for Show 3, surrounding the Spring/Summer 2027 collection with a visual language as much about process as about the finished pieces. Every piece of The Ouze jewellery begins in wax. Carved by hand, it's here that the shape and characte

Lifestyle There's something inherently poetic about Farsi. Even gratitude can become a little more beautiful, with dastet dard nakone, literally “may your hand not hurt”, used as a warm thank you for the effort someone has made. It's a small insight into a language and culture where feeling, hospitality and expression are often intertwined, and it feels like an appropriate place to begin at BAZAR. Set within Harvey Nichols at The Mailbox, BAZAR brings the flavours and spirit

Seven members, seven personalities and a sound that refuses to sit neatly within one category. PSYCHIC FEVER have spent the past four years building an identity that moves between Japanese pop, UK garage, Afrobeats, Y2K R&B and trap, while increasingly taking their music beyond Japan and into a global conversation.

There is something inherently New York about the way Michael Kors approaches fashion. It's polished without being precious, practical without surrendering glamour, and always designed with the woman moving through the city in mind. For Spring/Summer 2027, that instinct found its setting in one of New York's most recognisable cultural spaces, as Kors presented his latest collection in the Sculpture Garden at The Museum of Modern Art.

Minimalism has always been central to the Calvin Klein vocabulary, but for Spring 2027, Veronica Leoni asked what happens when there's almost nothing left to remove. Presented at New York's Terminal Warehouse, her latest Calvin Klein Collection continued the house's exploration of American Minimalism, stripping back familiar wardrobe staples until the focus fell squarely on the woman wearing them.

There are few New York addresses with the cultural currency of The Plaza, and fewer still that could carry quite so much personal meaning for Tommy Hilfiger. For Spring 2027, the designer returned to the legendary Fifth Avenue hotel, not just as a backdrop for his latest collection, but to a place woven into his own history. Once home to Hilfiger and his family, The Plaza became the setting for a very New York interpretation of the American classics that have defined his care

There's something wonderfully satisfying about putting on a mask. Maybe it's the fifteen minutes of enforced stillness, or the promise of waking up with skin that looks a little more rested than before. But the modern mask has moved well beyond the basic sheet options soaked in a gooey serum. Today, we have hydrogel patches for tired eyes, acids designed to resurface dull skin, clay treatments for congestion, barrier formulas for stressed complexions and cooling masks born fr

Tech & Lifestyle Living in a world where technology is advancing faster than most of us can keep up with can be overwhelming. Every few months, there's a new device promising to make us healthier, smarter, more productive or better connected, yet for all the noise, very little technology actually makes us stop and wonder. The interesting stuff is usually found elsewhere, in the products doing something we have not seen before or taking an everyday idea and approaching it in a
