Charles Rennie Macintosh is one of the most famous designers in the history of Glasgow. His influence has spread far and wide, and almost everywhere you look nowadays there's something ‘acintosh’to catch the eye. Macintosh believed that design could be functional, beautiful, but not always symmetrical (although much of the modern day Macintosh ornamental pieces are symmetrical), and that philosophy is evident in all of [...]
Suits: In A Legal Mind, the new American TV series, is about one of Manhattan's top corporate lawyers (Gabriel Macht) who sets out to recruit a new hotshot associate and hires the only guy that impresses him - a brilliant but unmotivated college dropout (Patrick J. Adams). Though he isn't actually a lawyer, this legal prodigy has the book smarts of a Harvard law grad and the street smarts of a hustler. However, in order to serve justice and save their jobs, both these unconventional thinkers mus [...]
With the recent news of Daniel Craig's marriage to Rachel Weiz, I thought it would be appropriate to take a look at how to achieve the style of James Bond; a character whom Craig has been able to demonstrate his brilliant sartorial prowess in the last two Bond films Quantum of Solace (2008) and Casino Royale (2006). 
The waistcoat ... a much under-estimated and overlooked male garmentThe waistcoat is a historic and fashionable garment with a chequered past. Who would have thought that the now-so-humble waistcoat had such an illustrious past? In the beginning it was worn as an extra layer against the cold, wet and spillages of daily life. It evolved into the defining garment of the powerful and mighty, the domain of Royalty and Lords, whilst lesser mortals wore the humble smock. Late [...]

At 29-years-old, I am a little young to remember the television series Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister when they were first broadcast that first time around back in the 1980s. But I still watch the reruns of both Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister at every opportunity I get. On July 6th 2011 the hugely popular stage version of the show began a limited 10-week run at the London Apollo theatre. I remember very fondly when I first watched the series reruns back in [...]

The newly married Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have just undertaken their first official overseas Royal engagement, with a tour of Canada and the US.Kate, understandably, seems to generate the most column inches with talk of her inimitable, classic style, but if one looks closely at William, the same can also be said of him. And so he will be the focus of a special three part blog taking in the Royal visit to North America. The two pictures below are the starting point for my dis [...]

First bursting onto our screens in 2001 after the success of J.K Rowlings’novels, Harry Potter. The star, Daniel Radcliffe, was hardly renowned as a style icon. He was, of course, only a boy at the time. His clothing was very relaxed and boyish, as you would expect. Even in the movies, we witnessed a School Uniform look. Flannel trousers, V-neck sweater, shirt, tie and of course a Blazer. Pictured below.
