The vibe is, without a doubt, luxury but with an unconventional twist. Head up from the entrance and the theme, according to the hotel, is Future Noir. It makes sense given the hotel rises up between two of Sydney’s motorways. On the escalator to the third floor, electric blue lighting means you can pretend you are an extra in Blade Runner.

At the request of founders, James, and Hayley Baillie, the original architect of Southern Ocean, Max Pritchard returned with his team to recreate 2.0. The original Lodge, which was the flagship of luxury collective, Baillie Lodges, was devastatingly burnt to the ground in bush fires in 2020, bar a sculpture of a kangaroo which sat in the lobby. More than a decade on, Pritchard has taken the opportunity to install cutting edge technology, setting new benchmarks for environmental sustainability in the tourism industry in everything from rainwater capture to solar power. 45,000 biodiverse native plants have been propagated on-site and planted to form a natural buffer from the surrounding wilderness. And of course, there is vastly upgraded fire prevention infrastructure. Source link

Outside, a queue of smartly dressed punters were fighting for a blue knight on horseback logo stamp, and inside tuna tartare, artichokes and greasy, delicious ham-and-cheese toasties were eagerly passed around. Those who made it in the building were faced with London’s art honchos — Tristram Hunt, director of the V&A; curator Victoria Broackes; and Victoria Siddall, the board director of Frieze, all present. Plus, Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, the model and Italian aristo; bright young things Sydney Lima, Rhea Dillon and Isaac Benigson; and, of course, Burberry’s creative director, Daniel Lee, were all along for the ride.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan urged young people to vote on May 2 (Stefan Rousseau/PA)PA WireMayor since 2016, previously Labour MP for Tooting. Former lawyer, married with two adult daughters. Political pugilist who finds it hard to resist a verbal punch-up with the Tories. Often deflects criticism of his record by blaming the Government. Seeking to be first London mayor to serve three terms.Policy: Free school meals for primary school childrenWhat’s achievable? Introduced as a one-year “emergency” measure to ease the cost of living crisis, free school meals proved so popular that Mr Khan wants to make them permanent. What’s unspoken is that he would have faced a political backlash had he axed them. But the £140 million annual cost — currently drawn from City Hall reserves and business rates...

I moved here in 1984 and it was crazy. I had been working for Interview Magazine in New York and I came to shoot the scene happening in London. There was this cultural explosion happening with Leigh Bowery, Trojan and Michael Clark and Culture Club. We were in Taboo, and I fell in with people like Princess Julia, Jeffrey Hinton, John Maybury, the director, and Stevie and David from BodyMap. I was sleeping on their couches, I had no idea they were at the epicentre of creative London. I thought I’d seen it all in New York, but London was next level wildness. I learnt an important lesson in those years: a sense of originality. If you copied someone else's work you were looked down upon. It was not cool. Everyone had their own creative voice — today, so much is made from mood boards off Instag...

For Rita’s first foray as a beauty brand co-founder, she’s tackling the former gripe, pairing with beauty entrepreneur Anna Lahey of Vida Glow success to launch TYPEBEA, a clinically-proven four product range to promote hair growth and reduce loss. The key ingredient is Baicapil, a plant-based complex that combats hair loss and stimulates growth, and the hero product is the Overnight Boosting Peptide scalp serum, which during clinical trials was proven to reduce hair loss and promote growth by up to 60% in three months. Because the serum is the most active and potent, it comes in at £43 — though having tested it I would say you don’t need a lot to spread it across your scalp from the pipette, so it should last you a while — and the shampoo, conditioner, and hydra-gloss treatments are all u...

The Pig at Bridge Place is a Grade II-listed English heritage mansion with 10-acre grounds in the Nailbourne Valley, a Potting Shed spa and the cutest patio in the kitchen garden where the best possible flatbreads are baked in the pizza oven. With 31 individually styled rooms and stand-alone suites and huts, it’s hard to imagine this cute, country house retreat segued from Jacobean manor to nightclub. Nowadays, the only noise likely to wake you is the birdsong or babbling stream. Robin’s wife, Judy, has excelled at conjuring a characterful look for the main house suites, which feel a step up from their signature rustic-upcycled shtick. The main hotel has the original features (including a ghost, rumour has it, if that’s your kink), exposed beams, vintage furnishings and eclectic decor. If ...

Robin Deselow, author of When the Music's Over: The Story of Political Pop, says that while smaller artists are vocal about important causes more often, most big stars tend to avoid politics, far more than they used to. “In the 1980s, which was the most political era for popstars, you knew who your audience were and they were going to agree with you” he says.
