Back in 2016 I wrote a post entitled 5 brands I wouldn’t be seen dead in, so I thought I would take a look back at it and see if they have changed at all or if there are any new entrants….Superdry Superdry Absolutely no question that my feelings on Superdry remain, if anything they […]
I was in London on Saturday to take in some proper non league football. But non league football with a difference. Clapton Community FC V Stonewall FC. You may or may not be aware of the story around Clapton Community FC. I am probably not in the best position to do it justice here, but […]
I remember years ago reading a little quick fire interview with one of the guys from Gang of Four and in answer to a question around his least favourite song or most overrated song, his answer was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. It was the first time I had ever come across any one being negative […]
It was quite a round about way that I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, but then I suppose most diagnoses are. I had been in Hamburg for the weekend when I woke up covered in spots. Being relatively used to skin complaints and allergies, I assumed it had been a reaction to the Greek food […]

Everything is politics. And do […]
I was reading The Sunday Times this weekend. I read it quite regularly, the same way I do The Telegraph, as they are the papers my parents choose to read. I also think it’s incredibly important to read all sorts of things, particularly things you are pretty sure aren’t meant for you and your beliefs. […]
The clash of high fashion and street wear is surely at its height, with trainers having led the way and a particular designer and brand getting there before anyone else – Yohji Yamamoto and adidas. The Y-3 range was breaking boundaries before the little rich kids of Bristol and London had even clapped eyes on a […]
The Duke & Dexter Story Duke & Dexter are just the sort of brand that I adore, modern and contemporary but with a (sartorial) foot firmly in tradition. Launched in 2014, the footwear label has risen to prominence as one of the finest purveyors of quality footwear out there. Specialising in traditional, smart British footwear […]
