My first book: a coffee table hardback about recreating the magical atmosphere of Wes Anderson's best-loved movies with stylish interiors in your own home.

Each chapter in this unique interiors book partners a best-loved Wes Anderson movie with a popular interior design aesthetic. So whether you're in the market for a cottagecore kitchen straight out of Fantastic Mr Fox or you want to inject your dining room with some Asteroid City-style Americana, there is something here whatever your aesthetic...

At the height of summer, Wet Leg made their debut on Tiny Desk, NPR’s megaviral video series that’s become a rite of passage for artists in the streaming era. Frontwoman Rhian Teasdale (left) crooned about romantic ecstasy into a house phone, rocking hair the colour of the Pink Stuff, American football shoulder pads, and hot pants emblazoned with the word “Wet”. With 2.8 million views and counting, their recording is one of Tiny’s biggest watches of the year. But for Teasdale, it was less a v...

I interviewed Jade Thirlwall as part of this collaborative Q&A for the cover of British GQ

Record scratch. Freeze frame. You're probably wondering how you got yourself into this situation. One minute you were 14 years old and debating if a girl would ever even look at you. And now? Now you're faced with the task of buying a real-life woman a set of lingerie — because she wants you to see her with it on and everything! First of all, kudos. Secondly, you must listen very carefully to the instructions to follow: they concern how to buy lingerie.
Make no mistake, this is no flowers and...

How often do you hear the words ‘so and so deserves more recognition’? If you go anywhere filled with people on the nose candy, probably quite often… perhaps even in self-referential terms. But here’s the thing: Baxter Dury, whose latest album Allbarone is a retro-futuristic dance record filled with arch, playful lyrics, actually does deserve more recognition.
Like his dad (Ian of Blockhead and ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’ fame), Dury is a singular musician. A self-styled “bohemian” and be...

Who knew, when Lana Del Rey dropped “Video Games” on YouTube back in 2011 that she’d flourish into one of the most exciting songwriters we have today? Well, Tumblr kids probably could have told you, but really there were signs of it from early on, when Born To Die fused vintage soul, ‘80s hip-hop and ’90s trip-hop with her now-signature lyrical storytelling, introducing us to damsels and rascals alike. By 2019's Norman Fucking Rockwell, Lana Del Rey's songs were showing a capacity for genius ...

Hey, so, have you been stored away in moth balls for the last ten years, or have you heard about the aphrodisiac quality of the grey jogger? Dump 5" shorts and Henleys (just for now, mind) because this is one of the hottest things a man can wear. It's a well-documented phenomenon. TikTok knows it, GQ editors know it, and it's received wisdom in fuck boy circles. Fortuitous, considering one of the best pairs is just £14 in the Gymshark sale for Cyber Monday.

Earlier this year, British canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals announced that he’d been barred from competing in his sport after creating an OnlyFans account. His claim that he was being forced to choose between his Olympic dreams and sex work was widely covered by the media, shining a light on both the growing popularity of the controversial subscription site and the struggles of being a low-paid athlete in Britain.
Adams and his brother – who also canoes and makes OnlyFans videos – moved to Staf...

Ever battered a meathead before feeding him to a crocodile? Doubtful, considering you'd probably be wearing the wrong jeans for it. But in the new remake of 1989 classic Road House, Jake Gyllenhaal makes it work, paying tribute to Patrick Swayze's turn as bouncer Elwood Dalton by dispatching half a dozen goons in impossibly tight denim blues.
The next time a bar brawl rolls around, would a pair of 501s see you through? The professional hard man class would need something more… bespoke. “I wou...

Want to feel like you've been splitting lumber and shifting timber? While at the same time cutting a figure that looks an awful lot like Mr Bradley Cooper, star of The Hangover and A Star Is Born? There's a clothing item for that! What you'll be wanting in this situation is an overshirt, the fleecier brother of the workwear chore jacket — as worn formerly by French 19th-century labourers and latterly by Cooper on the New York streets.
This week, courtesy of the best Black Friday fashion deals...

Every once in a while, a man comes along who makes you feel like you can be better. Look better, dress better, maybe even treat your mum a bit better. Michael B. Jordan is one of those men. Yes, he's handsome. Yes, he's jacked. Yes, he's talented. But he's also just a nice guy who wears nice clothes, oftentimes in interesting ways.
For example, last week he was spotted at a special screening of Sinners wearing a full wool set from Ami Paris. It's not the craziest thing you've ever seen, but i...

Will you tell us when talking about Casino Royale (which came out in 2006!?) starts to age us. Actually, don't. We won't stop talking about it anyway, even if we live to its 80th anniversary (unlikely). The crumbling Venice house. The Aston Martin DBS flip. The chase in Miami airport. And, something that we can all imitate without having to sign a waiver: the perfect Sunspel T-shirt. Which is on sale as part of the best Black Friday clothing deals, in case you were in the market.
A gorgeous T...

Question is, when did we stop getting dressed to play golf? Perhaps 1997 when Tiger Woods stroked his way to his first majors win in full Nike? Or maybe when drab lycra became the norm for all sportswear in the 2010s?
Whenever it was, we lost our way. Come 2025, with the feelgood afterglow of Rory McIlroy's GOAT-making Masters win still shining brightly, now's the time to rediscover the glory days. Specifically, the ones when Kevin Costner wore pleated trousers and knitted ties at pro-ams.
Ke...

What kind of clothing would you collect if you had the pulling power of an A-lister? You could go Jacob Elordi and pick up every single Bottega Veneta bag, load up on Nike Dunks like Ben Affleck, or make like Callum Turner in New York this autumn by wearing your new favourite zip-up jumper in four different colours.
The jumper in question? That's a wool-blend number by Axel Arigato, which achieves a fine compromise between cool and cosy with an exposed zip, dropped shoulders, high-set pockets...

Did you know that humankind invented luggage with wheels after we went to the moon? (1970 and 1969 respectively, for all you quizzers out there.) A wild thought on first consideration, right? And yet the implied engineering superiority of wheelie luggage makes a lot of sense – because, while space travel is impressive and all, a manageable suitcase is much, much more useful.
You'll feel this truth particularly acutely if a) you've let go of your childhood obsession with astronauts, and b) you...
