TREND INSPIRATION
MRS ROBINSON
The 1970’s stormed ahead in the inspirational era stakes this season, and while for men everything from Woodstock worthy hair and beards to cardigans is in vogue, taking a slightly earlier point of reference Dustin Hoffman in Mrs Robinson is good retro inspiration for the more refined male dresser. Think collegiate style blazers in herringbone, anything in corduroy (the fabric of the season), loafers and retro styled accessories. Make them mustard, burgundy or blue to tick all boxes.
MOOD: THE EDITION LONDON
The EDITION hotel group is the brainchild of Studio 54 founder Ian Schrager, and global hotelier Marriott International. Established in 2013 the collection’s ethos is to mix authentic boutique design with top level food, and a personalised service. The London EDITION in bohemian Fitzrovia balances a historic building, a hotel since 1909, with a sophisticated design sensibility. Stay in one of the 173 unique rooms designed with a wood panelled private yacht feel or the 2000 square foot penthouse apartment with wrap around terrace giving 360-degree views of London, and executive butler service. Dine at Jason Atherton’s Berners Tavern restaurant with its decor in the muted colour palette of a Dutch master, and walls hung with a curated collection of art, or take a meeting at the 2000 square foot events space. To relax, sample a cocktail by bar manager Davide Segat in the wood panelled manor house style Punch Room. editionhotels.com/london
