The Long & the Short of it for T.M.Lewin Competition winner.

                                                    

                                               T.M.Lewin competition winner
With the recent tropical conditions we’ve been enjoying, a pair of shorts will have been the go-to option for dapper chaps wanting to retain their cool in the heat wave. But for Mark Johnson this is the default, indeed the only, choice, something that prompted his daughter Holly to nominate him for the T.M.Lewin Makeover your Man Competition run in the SS13 edition of VQ Magazine.

“He’s never out of shorts,” said a slightly exasperated Holly. “Whether there’s 8 inches of snow or 80 degrees of heat, he’s always in shorts! I’m getting married in December, and he’s working overtime to help pay for the wedding. I’d love him to give me away in something gorgeous – without showing his knees!”

And so it was that Mr Johnson and his family, along with over 100 other nominees and their guests, attended the winner’s event at VQ’s T.M.Lewin store on Tuesday 23rd July. The 200 competition entries had been narrowed down to a shortlist of five by a panel of judges from T.M.Lewin, Victoria Quarter and the other stores involved in the competition Kiehl’s, Charbonnel et Walker, Westrow Hair - Official Page and Official Nicholas Deakins; and with a serendipity that sometimes accompanies events such as these, Mr Johnson was selected as the winner.

Mr Johnson won a suit, shirt and tie of his choice from T.M.Lewin, shoes of his choice from Nicholas Deakins, a full hair overhaul with one of Westrow Hair’s award-winning stylists, a facial and luxury grooming hamper from Kiehl's and a luxury chocolate hamper from Charbonnel et Walker along with Afternoon Tea for Two at Harvey Nichols.

The runners up were Gerard Dowries and Mark Scott who each won a luxury goodie bag.

After the draw, Mr Johnson said, “I was surprised when Holly told me she had entered me for the competition, and I certainly never expected to win! It’s fantastic. Holly’s planning a black & white theme for her wedding, so I’m sure she’ll be coming along to help me make the right choices!”

Paul Baxby, Manager of the VQ T.M.Lewin store commented, “We had a great response to the competition and an excellent attendance on the night. Mr Johnson was a worthy winner and I’m looking forward to seeing him in the store soon to select his suit, shirt & tie.”

Introducing the Rosamund Bag Collection Autumn Winter 2013 at L.K.Bennett

Introducing the Rosamund Bag Collection Autumn Winter 2013
British accessible luxury brand L.K.Bennett teams up with celebrated British actress and current L.K.Bennett campaign face, Rosamund Pike, to launch the Rosamund Bag Collection Autumn Winter 2013.
Rosamund Pike worked closely with the L.K.Bennett design team over six months to develop the capsule collection which showcases her unquestionable taste and refined British style. The bags, named in honour of Rosamund, the Rosie, Rosamund and Rosa draw on her love for classic British films, with the attitude of Julie Christie in the opening scene of ‘Darling’ a particular inspiration. The colour palette was designed to be ‘good enough to eat’ with brightly coloured, vibrant tangerine and dark bitter chocolate brown.
Made in Italy from soft calf skin leather, the smooth and grained leathers in the bags work together, adding texture and richness to a modern and design-led range. Inside; the bag features suede-like lining and outside; a bespoke hardware in brushed matt gold adds to the luxurious aesthetic. The zip, with a safety pin design detail, is inspired by Rosamund’s most treasured jewellery possession - her safety pin earring.
The luxurious collection is available in three sizes with one statement design and boasts six colour choices; white, navy, green, orange, black and chocolate/black.
These bags are launching in store on Wednesday 17th July.

Harvey Nichols Cocktail of the Month: July

Harvey Nichols Cocktail of the Month: July
The Cocktail of the Month for July reflects the latest installation at the Harvey Nichols London Flagship store, the stunning Courvoisier Terrace.
Made with Courvoisier Exclusif, the winning cocktail ‘Imperial Infusion’ was designed by our Edinburgh Bar Team and is a delicious combination of beautiful bitter flavours that leave the taste buds craving more.
Whilst perhaps not so pleasing on the eye, this Courvoisier based cocktail is undoubtedly one of the finest combinations, truly thirst-quenching and a refreshing alternative to the flowery and fruity summer offerings.
So be sure to visit the Harvey Nichols 4th Floor Bar this July, and sip something a little different this summer.
Why not mix one up at home?

-35ml Courvoisier Exclusif
-2 level bar spoons Agave syrup
-15ml Bitter Truth Apricot Liqueur
-10ml Lemon Juice
-Peach Bitters

Method
Place agave syrup and bitters into a rocks glass with the lemon juice and dissolve by stirring with a few cubes of ice. Add the cognac and liqueur a bit at a time and stir with a couple of ice cubes. Finish off (as you would with an Old Fashioned) with an orange twist garnish.

Imperial Infusion is available in all Harvey Nichols Bars from 1 July and Courvoisier Exclusif available from their Wine Shops.
