Designer Alexander Amosu recently launched his Luxury Bespoke Suit Line called ‘Alexander Amosu’ whilst unveiling the most expensive suit in the world costing a massive £70, 000! The one-off creation is made from gold thread, Himalayan Pashmina, Qiviuk and Vicuna and took 80 hours to complete and includes over 5000 stitches. Being treated like an Oscar winning actor, the suit was escorted to Pall Mall for the event in its very own top of the range armoured range rover, built to withstand even the most extreme attack. The suit itself is absolutely gorgeous, simple and classic! Any man would be delighted to adorn such a masterpiece!

Nestled just off Balham high road in southwest London is Sam Harrison’s latest dining venture.
Previously known as the Balham Kitchen & Bar (part of the Soho House Group) it now sees Sam team up with Rick Stein and Rebecca Mascarenhas to create ‘Harrison’s’ - a stylish local brassiere that is all about fresh food, fantastic ingredients and quality service.
Despite having only just opened last October it has already established a healthy reputation for itself. The restaurant was buzzing when I visited last Tuesday evening with a crowd made up of trendy locals catching up over cocktails and dinner.

We recently got invited to go and trial the delights of the Brouge restaurant in Richmond, a modern Belgian bistro with a slight British influence. It’s the second restaurant in the chain, its sister being in Twickenham (just down the road).
Having never been to a Belgian restaurant before we arrived at the restaurant with no pre-conceptions to what we’d find. Obviously we’d checked out the web site which portrayed the place well.
If you’ve never been to Richmond, we definitely advise you do. It’s absolutely stunning in the summer and sitting next to the River Thames with a cold pint in your hand simply can’t be beaten.
Anyway… I digress. The restaurant is situated right near the river in the basement of Waterstones book shop. This means it offers many of the architectural characteristics of what you’d imagine a classic wine cellar would – high ceilings, archways, cubby holes and good acoustics!
