This year we are celebrating the 14th edition of London Fashion Week Men’s (LFWM), where more than 40 UK-based and international designers such as Craig Green, Alexander McQueen and Liam Hodges will showcase their Spring/Summer 2020 collections at the Truman Brewery in London’s East End. Just in time before LFWM starts off, London Fashion Week Men’s has launched a campaign to celebrate the creatives that make up the British fashion scene. Shot by London-based photographer Markn, the photo series called “This Is London,” features the metropole’s creatives that have contributed to it’s status of diversity and multi-cultural background. Some of the creatives captured are Oliver Spencer, David Gandy, Angelo Van Mol (creative director at Band Of Outsiders), Lucien Clarke (professional skater), as well as GQ's Dylan Jones, and CEO of the British Fashion Council Caroline Rush. Showcasing different styles and identities, it's a faithful celebration of London's unique identity in an ever demanding industry. Caroline Rush told the media: “London is a city that is globally recognised for its creative talent and businesses. We’re extremely excited to launch this campaign for LFWM June 2019 and to celebrate not only the designers, but also the broader creative community who all play a vital role in our industry’s culture and reputation.” We are stunned by the strong representation of our British creative community and the campaign definitely gives us a little taste of what is just about to come.

Still life photography certainly reflects more than just some fruits in a bowl: While the French refer to it as “nature morte,” or 'dead nature', we at Larsson & Jennings believe that this kind of photography reflects a way more lively nature than you might think. Hence we want to introduce you to four of our favourite contemporary artists whose work reflect everything from commercial over natural to romanticised elements.  ALICIA @queridamaldita Joss McKinley @jossmckinley Jacob Reischel @jacobreischel Sophie Tajan @sophietajan

Tell us about your role at Larsson & Jennings. What do you enjoy most about your job? So I lead the marketing and e-comm function at Larsson & Jennings. In reality, what this means is that every day I try and think of ways to make our experiences better with our customers. This keeps the day job really varied and exciting, but also hands on. I really enjoy making it worth while for our customers. Sometimes we get it wrong - on these occasions i play down the corporate BS. One evening over Christmas I was talking to a customer and had the kids running around in front of me. I actually told the customer that rather than spending the evening playing with my children I was focused to helping them resolve their issue. What does your typical week look like? Well most days I’m tied to a nursery run so everything starts off hectics. Time keeps me focused, I run my clock precisely, or try to. ;) Mondays kick start the week, performance, data analytics. Marketing is much more of a science these days. I like to check up on customer feedback but importantly I check in with the team, weekend antics and all that, largely over a cup of coffee. The rest of the week is an enigma. We are a small team so we have the pleasure of really shaping what we do in the week and largely my job is to support the team. Tuesdays start with ‘How can I help?’ and so on for the rest of the week, but usually they never ask for it. :( So I’m left to my devices; much of which focuses on projects, site updates, product development type stuff. Usually my week is so varied, each day I forget to eat, which is such a shame when you work in the heart of covent garden. But hey, it keeps me trim. What does travelling mean to you? Wow, ok traveling means a lot to me. In as much as I’ve not been that fortunate to do a lot of it. Asides from a couple of long trips to the USA and Australia there are so many parts of the world I haven’t seen. Consequently, I can be a bit of a nightmare, because when I do get the chance to visit somewhere, I want to be sure I’ve seen everything. I’m not the beach and a book type, but I love to explore. I will always try to learn the language and love the local food. To my detriment I’ll spend more time trying to find hidden local gems rather than the tourist hotspots. Although these days, with one 2 and one 4 year old, they don’t like to walk far. Ultimately travel allows us to absorb and escape the everyday and it’s a pleasure to share it with the family. Three words that best describe your personality? Upbeat, visionary, obsessive. Where would you go if you could time travel? Weirdly, back to school. I’d love to do school all over again knowing what I do now. It’s not just an excuse to ace the grades but I think I was undersold the potential. I think life is tough when you grow up in such a modern and fast-paced society. Let’s slow it down and make well informed choices. School has the potential to not sell subjects but dreams and I think I missed that. Best song(s) of all time? Everlong - Foo Fighters When doves cry - Prince I’ve Got A Woman - Ray Charles Teardrops - Massive Attack Careless Whisper - George Michael Life on Mars - Bowie  What would be the title of your biography? And he did it my way… The most inspiring place you’ve ever been to? There is a small underground network of the most beautifully formed sandstone caves north west of the Grand Canyon called Antelope Canyon. I love the paternation and colour that has been formed over hundreds of centuries. Your favourite quote? “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” - Einstein A chilled day by the beach or a wild hiking tour in the mountains? Mountains, mountains, mountains. Your guilty pleasure? Baywatch…

June is here and the sun is in your sign! This means now is the perfect time for you to shine bright while getting in touch with the bundle of mixed emotions that you’ve been holding within. Learning to listen more to your inner voice while setting your priorities right should be at the top of your to-do list in June. Apart from that? Simply enjoy the start of Summer and don’t stress about organising your finances too much. When Venus enters your sign on 8th June you’ll get that extra boost of confidence, making you want to breathe in the fresh scent of Spring and dress in a bright, happy colours. And while the sun isn’t merely shining from within your heart, our LJXII Lugano Milanese 33mm in gold and satin-white will reflect this unbreakable positive mood on the outside. SHOP HERE
