New Open Art Fair Duke Of York Square Chelsea

New Open Art Fair Duke Of York Square Chelsea

There will be thousands of objects at the  Open Art Fair from an eclectic and inter- disciplinary mix of dealers, to surprise and delight visitors who relish ‘intellectual and decorative shopping’.
 
This apt phrase comes from a new book (The Man in the Red Coat by Julian Barnes)  true story of three French grandees of the Belle Epoque (1880s and 90s), a prince, a baron, and innovative  surgeon  to the great and good:  all three dedicated  aesthetes, aware that the West End of London would be the most promising destination for a treasure hunt. .    .

At The ‘Champions League’ Of Communicators In Milan

At The ‘Champions League’ Of Communicators In Milan

Back in late 2018 when I took a plane to Italy’s fashion capital, Milan, little did I realise that an event I attended among a host of top listed on the Borsa Italiana and some unquoted companies would prove key to a story I penned on an advertising debacle that one major Italian fashion house had unwittingly caused in China.

DS7 Crossback - Life Is Too Short To Drive Boring Cars

DS7 Crossback - Life Is Too Short To Drive Boring Cars

In 2009 PSA the parent company of Peugeot Citroen and now Vauxhall resurrected the DS name. They used it to denote certain models in the range as premium: for example the Citroen DS3 Citroen DS4 Crossback. It was always part of the Citroen range, then in 2015 PSA decided that they would make the DS a stand-alone luxury brand, a halo brand if you will.
On face value, the DS7 Crossback is just a large SUV. There are a lot of them about, 5 seats, nice interior, nothing particularly unusual or special.

Tastes of Italy: Volcanic Wines For An Explosive Festive Season

Tastes of Italy: Volcanic Wines For An Explosive Festive Season

Christmas and New  Year are all about tradition from the religious aspects leading through to two occasions when memorable dinners are de rigueur.  For these festivities, you can justify exploring beyond the normal choices. For me, the best wines are those fresh discoveries; they add new, pleasurable and exciting experiences to the dinners.

Brugal 1888 Rum-Cuba Libre-Santo Libre Cocktails

Brugal 1888 Rum-Cuba Libre-Santo Libre Cocktails

I recently stumbled across Brugal 1888 Rum.
Brugal 1888 is a genuinely impressive rum. It is produced in the Dominican Republic and combines the rich flavours of bourbon and sherry casks through a double-aging process.
This double aging process means that 1888 is first matured in hand-picked ex-bourbon American oak casks, then in European oak, first-fill sherry casks. The bourbon is certainly recognisable, and in Brugals’ own words; “This blend of two worlds gives 1888 a complex yet balanced spirit that stimulates the senses and evolves in the glass.”

Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones with Bluetooth

Sony WF-1000XM3 Headphones
There is a huge choice of wireless headphones out there these days. Sony's WF-1000XM3 is at the premium end of this spectrum of choice and from the moment you unbox these headphones, you can feel the exceptional quality.
Sound quality is excellent. It's a quality sound with very good noise cancelling.
The bass is solid and the mid range equally strong. There is a depth and separation to the sound that means you can clearly identify individual instruments.
