I am absolutly in love with this new company who are putting a lot of streetwear brands to shame with their amazing attention to detail and unique aesthetic. With Y’oh, strong African prints sit next to wax cotton and military twill lining. The first range dropped recently and I am excited to see how this label will grow from season to season.

For many years, Sam Arkus was a well-known tailor at 60 Berwick St, Soho, in London. I’ve walked past this store many times and wondered to myself, ‘is it open? Is it derelict?’ There are stories of him still living there. To my surprise, a new designer boutique has recently opened there and transformed this place into a store and gallery called Digitaria. Stavros Karelis and Eleftheria Arapoglou have created a fantastic fashion forward clothing space featuring their many delectable pieces for women and men. This is a must to visit, where you can pick up an original item of clothing and experience mystical loveliness downstairs in the gallery.

Set in a remote Chinese village in the 1920s during a cholera outbreak and with a revolution bubbling in the background, The Painted Veil is a wonderfully tortured love story which excels on all levels.

Designed by the late architect Enric Miralles it has a floating ceramic roof that drapes the bustling market below in a parental way. The coloured ceramics, of course, represent the smorgasbord of fruit and vegetables on sale within and enable a majestic view, not only for Google, but also to its immediate neighbours overlooking the site.

It’s pretty bold to release a 25 track double CD as your first album, but singer-songwriter Benji Hughes doesn’t care. Themes of love and heartbreak run though the album and his folk-tinged pop draws comparisons to Beck, The Eels and The Magnetic Fields. [portrait by Vanessa Prager]

And I wanted the art to be dark, but sarcastic, mystical and inspiring, all in the same glance. These shirts are about long nights with good friends, being spontaneous, and letting the street lights guide you home’. Read more
