Gretha Hausmann-Ferreira

Natural Horsemanship

We sat down to speak with Gretha Hausmann-Ferreira, Olympic Grand Prix dressage rider and Gabriele Metz, special interest journalist and manager of the Hund & Pferd Dortmund at Hofgut Sachtenhorst, to hear why they preach and – of course – practice the concept of Natural Horsemanship.

The Cillian Murphy Edition

Our cover star is Cillian Murphy, an actor at what may be the absolute peak of his powers. I first came across Cillian’s commanding screen presence during his collaborative years with director Danny Boyle – seeing him stagger around an apocalyptically abandoned South Bank in 28 Days Later was a regular treat in my former student house – and it has been thrilling to watch him grow from strength to strength, leading him towards what many (depending, again, on which side of the 2023 culture war you took up arms) would argue to be the movie of the year.

The Short Stay Property Roundtable

To explore the prevailing wind of the latest travel destinations is one thing. To unpick the essence of luxury travel and hospitality, to unravel the nature of what a whole new generation of high-end holidaymakers are seeking, and to understand what is driving the shifting sands of travel trends is something else entirely.

Wrist Appeal

As ever, we’ve flitted our way from expo to horology maison, our eyes peeled and our hearts open to the releases that set pulses racing. From eye-watering complications, dial details and design flourishes aplenty to the sleekly minimalist and deceptively understated, we give you our pick for the season.

Ben Williams – I am a man

Inspired by the Memphis Sanitation Strikes of 1968, I AM A MAN sits somewhere between a protest record and a wish list for a potential future, made all the more potent when set against the continuing turbulence of past and present. It is, simply put, a fantastic listen with a truly broad appeal, both a meditation on identity and an expression of artistic confidence.

The Siretti List

The Sirreti List

Homes that orbit the top and ultra-luxury rentals market have to be faultless, flawless and in the most pristine locations to get on the books of the world’s foremost travel curators. As such, it’s remarkable that –  at least, until now – there has been no professional measurement or recognition at this loftiest of levels.

Robert Bösch

Robert Bösch Engiadina

Robert Bösch is not afraid of the intensity of the Engadin light and the grandiosity of the nearby mountains. Even as a young mountaineer, he was often in the Engadin and for years now has been spending a lot of time at his home in Maloja, from where he has roamed the area and climbed many mountain peaks.

Cortina d’Ampezzo

Deep in the Veneto valleys of Northern Italy sits The Queen of the Dolomites, Cortina d’Ampezzo. There’s no angle of approach to the region that won’t leave you overwhelmed by the colossal mountains fortifying this beautiful region.

Digital Profiling – The Marque

“The impression you make online is as powerful as the one you make in person,” claims The Marque, a service designed for high-profile professionals to take control of their digital narrative and brand. From chairpeople to TV personalities, its client list has steadily grown into a who’s-who of global gravitas.

The Sojourn

Having spent what felt like an eternity at home in ‘athleisure’ wear, we are certainly applauding a much more sartorial sojourn this AW season. To this end, we’ve tasked Stylist Adam Telling, Photographer Barney Oats and model Cameron Mackintosh to head out on a winter sojourn in the incredibly fetching Mercedes Benz SL R107.

The Odds of Normality

With the world reopening and the global pandemic taking a backseat in our list of daily concerns, the masses have decided to reclaim all that has been restricted. Throughout 2021, Heathrow saw its lowest number of passengers since 1972, at a mere 19.4 million. Compare this to the pre-pandemic numbers of around 80 million a year and we can reaffirm the obvious, we all adore travel. However, with this relaxation (despite passengers still facing a minefield of punitive measures) on the rules of travel, international bookings have skyrocketed over the last six months. As we go from staring at the screen to wrapping it around our eyes, we grow ever…

Lagerfeld: The CHANEL shows

I met Karl Lagerfeld for the first time in 2006 because (again) of Stephen and James. Harper’s Bazaar had commissioned me to shoot his portrait in various iconic New York locations. It was very nerve-racking; there were a lot of models and a lot that could go wrong.
