The wellness industry has surged to a staggering $6.32 trillion, with 2024 delivering many new health innovations. Looking ahead, 2025 promises even more developments – some game-changing, but others controversial.
Think of Howard Shore’s The Lord of the Rings score, where the violin gently weaves through “Concerning Hobbits,” painting an idyllic portrait of Middle-earth. Or Ennio Morricone’s “Gabriel’s Oboe” from The Mission, where the violin’s melancholic rise is nothing short of transcendental.
Audio is the defining factor in cinematic immersion. A Bang & Olufsen Beolab 90 speaker system or a KEF Blade One Meta, paired with a Trinnov Altitude 32 AV Processor, delivers multi-directional, high-resolution sound. Dolby Atmos spatial audio ensures an enveloping experience, capturing every nuanced effect, from whispering dialogue to dynamic action sequences.
Water has long held a sacred place in architectural storytelling—its fluidity symbolizing life, renewal, and harmony. From the reflective pools of ancient Persian gardens to the grand fountains of Renaissance Europe, humanity’s affinity for integrating water into the built environment transcends eras and cultures.
Spiritual guidance used to reside in temples, texts, and the wisdom of sages. The once-esoteric rituals of astrology, tarot, and divination now unfold in pixels and code. Consider the paradigm shift: where seekers once journeyed to consult oracles, they now engage with digital platforms looking for insights.
The Land Rover Defender is a British icon. Its significance goes far beyond its purpose of getting from A to B—its quintessential Britishness is on a par with Queen Elizabeth II, afternoon tea and aggressive politeness. It was used by armed forces on the frontline, driven by royalty, and is now owned by families across the UK.
about a decade ago when I started working in climate, very few economists in governments were actively engaged. Now, I routinely engage with people in important ministries of government that both care and can potentially do something about it, given the right tools.
15 years in, Holland Cooper isn’t chasing trends, it’s building legacy: expanding into bespoke ateliers, menswear and a new 70,000 sq ft headquarters, all without a single external investor. We join Jade at the Cheltenham Festival as she shares insights into her strategic vision, the challenges of scaling a British luxury brand, and her approach to sustainable growth in a competitive market. Want to know why betting on yourself might be the most rewarding wager of all?
This is most evident in our cover star Jade Holland Cooper, whose designs are blazing new trails (although with plenty of timeless appeal) in the world of equestrian-adjacent fashion and beyond. Hers is a tale as old as time, told anew with ferociously literal horsepower: inspiration, heritage, foresight, hard work and relentless dedication, all resulting in something really rather remarkable.

At its inception, Revolut was a simple prepaid card and app designed to facilitate cost-effective currency exchanges for globetrotters. I haven’t, thankfully, had to call in the Winter sports insurance for a chopper ride off the mountain, but it’s a very slim card to zip into a ski jacket.
The proliferation of stablecoins, particularly those pegged to fiat currencies, has catalyzed adoption across transactional and settlement layers. These instruments offer a bridge between crypto-native liquidity and traditional finance, addressing key frictions around volatility and compliance.
I slip my slightly clammy hand gingerly into the slot, ease some pressure and pull gently skyward. That scissor-door entry is nothing less than muted pornography. So effortless in its execution, it’s part of the recipe that makes the Aventador just that little bit more special.
Quality, innovation and – by god, in this case – style. Casio’s reputation precedes it when it comes to its product development and, crucially, its product refinement. Their first electronic keyboard, The Casiotone CT-201, was birthed by Toshio Kashio and his team in January 1980.
Fresh from four days in Scotland driving the simply astonishing Ferrari F8 Spider, there are times in one’s life where you have to sit back, take some time, and genuinely let an experience wash over you. You need to take it in. Revel in it. The smells, the sights, the sheer visceral nature of it.
Like many Swiss watchmaking dynasties, Alpina can trace its founding back to the turn of the nineteenth century – 1883 to be precise – by Gottlieb Hauser, a watchmaker in Winterthur, who also established the Swiss Watchmakers Corporation (Union Horlogère Suisse).
It wasn’t until Stacia Suttles turned 19 and stepped into a boxing ring for the first time, that the amateur fighter realised she was exceptionally gifted in the combat sport.
I scanned the horizon of the Finnish race circuit but Charlie was possibly doing a few laps in the 500hp V8 110. “Let me see if I can find him Tony”. “Cool man”. This was the first of a handful of semi awkward exchanges I would have with Tony Hawk that week as we crossed from Finland into Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Austria and Monaco.
