Projects
- Ethos Review, contributing piece for YogiTimes.comSoho's vegetarian buffet revisited on Eastcastle Street A redesign of the lukewarm hotel buffet has been long overdue in Britain. Enter Ethos - Soho’s Scandi-chic meat-free, weigh as you go, all day vegetable smorgasbord. Tucked off Oxford Street, the white-marbled tables and counters are surrounded by fairy-lit silver birch with a log fire at the back of the woodland. It’s 1 p.m. and swarms of London’s media set are circling the three counters of the buffet, which are all vegetarian-friendly.
- 'Best of Sofar Sounds 2017' for I the StylistUnless displaced in a huge field and tagged with a Glastonbury wristband, Londoners are notoriously allergic to strangers. Hence i the stylist’s surprise at the London-born, increasingly popular Sofar Sounds gigs. The brainchild of Rocky Start and Rafe Offer, the recipe? One intimate sitting room, three artists and a room full of strangers. One year short of their 10th anniversary, Sofar Sounds are currently hosting ‘in more than 350 cities around the world’. International success aside, Sofar are focused on developing unsigned talent through artist-focused, small-scale living room concert; the specific location of which they share on the day via text. In 2016 i the stylist fell for Martin Luke Brown’s cover of Nina Simone’s ‘I Wish I Knew How’. Little did we know what 2017 had in store… So if you’re looking to try something new, look no further!
