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

Healthy hair is often treated as though it has one universal formula: wash it less, use a good shampoo, avoid too much heat and hope for the best. In reality, hair health is considerably more personal. What works for one person dealing with breakage may not help someone trying to encourage growth, and the routine that keeps fine hair fresh between wash days may be completely wrong for a dry, overprocessed mane.

For years, we were told to have a Hot Girl Summer. Be outside, be booked, be spontaneous, say yes to everything and make sure someone gets the picture. It was fun, glamorous and, if we’re being honest, exhausting. Now, the mood is changing. The Peaceful Girl Era is less interested

Lifestyle Elevate your dinner party with ease this season Some of history’s most memorable moments have happened around a dinner table. Cleopatra’s feast for Mark Antony remains one of history’s great dinner parties. She wagered that she could host the most expensive dinner ever served and, in true Cleopatra fashion, proved her point by dissolving a priceless pearl in vinegar and drinking it. It was extravagant, theatrical and turned the dinner into an experience rather than

When you live in London, you quickly learn the rooftop dining circuit. You know the spots with the impressive views, the reservations that disappear weeks in advance and the promise of an unforgettable evening above one of the world’s most dynamic cities. Yet, if we're honest, the reality can sometimes feel a little underwhelming. Too often, the “view” becomes a backdrop of polished glass buildings, with diners admiring the skyline of neighbouring towers rather than experienc

Returning this July for eleven unforgettable nights, the series brought together an eclectic mix of breakthrough artists and established acts from across the world, proving that London’s cultural identity has never been defined by one sound or one scene. From the experimental energy of The Flaming Lips to the haunting artistry of Agnes Obel, the powerful lyricism of Giggs, the emotional storytelling of Freya Ridings, and the Grammy Award-winning saxophone talent of Venna, the

The Birmingham-born actor is entering a remarkable chapter of her career. While audiences around the world know her as Baela Targaryen in HBO's House of the Dragon, she is simultaneously returning to where her love of performance first began, starring as Eurydice in Hadestown. For Antonia, it feels less like a new beginning and more like a homecoming.

By the time I speak with Remmie Milner, I'm running on four hours of sleep. It's the reality of juggling clients across multiple time zones, and as I apologise for my slightly sleep-deprived state, she laughs and immediately relates. As the mother of a toddler and another child on the way, early mornings and interrupted sleep have become part of her own routine. It's a small moment, but one that quietly sets the tone for the conversation that follows.

Pigmentation is perhaps one of the most frustrating skin concerns to treat. Unlike a breakout, which eventually subsides, or dehydration - often remedied with a good facial and a diligent skincare routine, pigmentation has a tendency to linger. Whether it manifests as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following acne, sun damage acquired from a holiday we thought we'd gotten away with, or the more complex challenge of melasma, it rarely disappears overnight.

For a few hours on a warm London evening, Bloomsbury ceased to be Bloomsbury. Instead, guests were transported thousands of miles away to the dazzling energy of Rio de Janeiro, where sequins shimmered beneath theatrical lighting, champagne flowed freely, and the unmistakable rhythms of Latin America transformed the capital into a carnival of colour, music and movement.

After a week of relentless eighteen-hour days, photoshoots, concerts and a particularly unforgiving London heatwave, my shoulders had reached breaking point. Fortunately, I had an appointment at MASAJ's newly opened Islington clinic, which arrived at exactly the right moment. Having opened its doors in June, the new space marks a significant expansion for the London wellness brand. Larger and more ambitious than its previous locations, the clinic immediately impresses with

There are moments in travel when you feel as though you are witnessing history before everyone else. Madrid has always possessed the ingredients of a world-class city break. Grand boulevards lined with elegant architecture. Exceptional museums. A thriving culinary scene. Luxury shopping that rivals Europe's fashion capitals. Yet this year, the Spanish capital will add another dimension to its appeal when it welcomes the Formula One TAG Heuer Gran Premio de España for the f

For years, sustainable fashion has suffered from a huge image problem. The issue? We were asked to choose between style and sustainability, aesthetics and ethics, desirability and responsibility. The result was a marketplace filled with worthy products that rarely reflected how we actually wanted to look. Or the guilt of a high street number in our holiday carry-ons. Of course, there have been notable exceptions in the fashion sphere. Christopher Raeburn has helped pion

The historic fishing town of Wick is where Old Pulteney has quietly produced whisky for two centuries. It's here that we celebrated their 200th anniversary, marking a remarkable milestone for one of Scotland’s most distinctive single malt producers. To commemorate the occasion, Old Pulteney has released a limited-edition 10-Year-Old Distillery Exclusive. A whisky matured in ex-Bourbon casks before spending time in both Manzanilla and Oloroso sherry casks; a nod to the distill

There's something reassuring about walking into a clinic that doesn't immediately feel clinical. Perhaps it's the geometric mirrors, plush velvet seating and softly illuminated interiors. Or maybe the stylish bar console, curated merchandise displays and the absence of the sterile atmosphere often associated with aesthetic treatments. Whatever the reason, stepping inside WALDOR Clinic in Fitzrovia felt less like entering a medical facility and more like arriving at a conte

Film Marisa Coughlan has always existed slightly outside the lines Hollywood prefers to draw. Actor, writer, observer; her career resists singular definition, instead moving between roles with a kind of instinctive ease that feels less like reinvention and more like a refusal to be contained by one version of herself. In an industry once defined by gatekeepers and carefully controlled entry points, Coughlan came up through a system that has since dissolved and reformed into s

There's a new place in town, and we will for sure be placing it on our 2026 bucket list. As Formula 1 continues its shift towards elevated lifestyle experiences, Silverstone’s unveiling of The Vale marked a new chapter in race-day hospitality; one rooted not only in speed and spectacle, but in intimacy, precision and importantly: gastronomy. The launch event, held at Trivet ahead of the 2026 British Grand Prix, offered an early glimpse into what is set to become the circuit’s

Often regarded as an institution for steak since its 2006 launch, Hawksmoor was founded by two friends united by a shared appreciation for British carnivorous fare. Two decades on, it remains quietly assured within London’s dining landscape, never chasing attention, yet never out of it.

For years, the LED face mask has occupied an almost untouchable position within the beauty industry. It became the skincare equivalent of a status symbol: futuristic-looking, expensive enough to suggest efficacy, and regularly photographed alongside silk robes, green juices and marble bathrooms across social media. But somewhere between the aesthetics of wellness and the endless promises of “glass skin,” many consumers quietly realised something uncomfortable: not every LED

Nxdia doesn’t wait for things to make sense before writing about them. Lovemesick comes straight from the middle of it, not after the dust has settled, but while everything still feels a bit chaotic. There’s no attempt to tidy it up or turn it into something more palatable. Instead, it leans into the mess, the need for validation, staying longer than you should, pulling away when things get real. It’s honest without trying to be perfect. Speaking to them, that same energy car

Fresh from a triumphant win at this year’s Laurence Olivier Awards, the West End sensation Kinky Boots had everyone talking. From lead actor Johannes Radebe's blood-red acrylics on the night to its flamboyant return to the West End with an electrifying red carpet, the production has once again injected the city with the very spirit of fun and razzle-dazzle it is known for.

Music In an industry that often rewards overthinking, HEYOON is choosing something far more instinctive. With the release of her new EP seriously unserious (…and then some), the global pop artist leans into a freer, more playful chapter, one that prioritises energy, movement and emotional release over perfection. Having already built an international following through her time in Now United, and later carving out a distinct solo identity with a string of well-received release

Film Hannah Cheramy isn’t interested in overplaying a moment. There’s something quieter about the way she works, more about what sits underneath than what’s immediately shown. It’s a quality that’s become especially clear in her role as Julie in FROM, where strength often shows up in subtle, internal ways rather than big, dramatic beats. Acting wasn’t always a set path for her, but once From came into her life, it shifted everything, turning something she loved into something
