New In - Feb 23
Moving into the month of February, let's get into our next set of recommendations – some for now and others for planning purposes: a conscious unisex salon, a different approach to a footballing podcast, and a low-key photography exhibition.
Another Aspect @ Møntergade 5a
As one door shuts, another door opens. Another Aspect is closing up its original store, but in the interim, between launching their new, larger venue, the Copenhagen-based menswear brand has a short-stay pop-up on Møntergade 5a that runs until the end of Feb. Their core values centre around clothing built on longevity, making considered purchases and a modern customer experience.
Eugene Schlumberger @ Pop Recs
We’ll treat you with a double rec for the shorter month of February. Exhibited at Pop Recs in Sunderland, photographer Eugene Schlumberger captures northern modernist architecture. His work will be on show starting on Feb 16 and running for the next few months. While there, you must try the cafe’s veggie roast on a Sunday - they take bookings via. Instagram. They’re dog friendly, and it’s run by a top-notch team.
The Academy Award-winning short film tells the story of a mother who finds herself increasingly frustrated by the mundane day-to-day routines of life. A young couple moves in next door, and alongside her partner, they discover that everything is visible from their window. They end up living vicariously through their new neighbours, building a false narrative. Featuring: Maria Dizzia of Martha Marcy May Marlene, Orange Is the New Black, and The Staircase.
Sign onto Morning Movement with Clod Ensemble led by Monique Jonas. The interdisciplinary performance charity is providing two online sessions with the dancer and choreographer on 6 / 13 Mar [9am - 9.30am], but there’s more to choose from on the broader series. It compasses breathwork with something a little more physical – a rare kickstart to your day. And it’s free!
No Place Like Home is a football magazine that collaborates with writers, photographers, and creatives with a love for the game. We recently found ourselves deep diving into their ‘in conversation with’ podcast, which explores untold stories, grassroots level organisations committed to positive change and making one of the most popular sports accessible to all.
Where black comedy meets horror, the film takes place in an exclusive restaurant on a private island. From wealthy food critics to high-profile business partners, handpicked guests are invited to dine through a series of tasting dishes presented by a cult of chefs. What starts as a seemingly elegant evening meal takes a sinister turn with each course. Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult lead the stellar cast, and Disney+ is where you can watch.
It’s your chance to experience a slice of the New York art scene from the comfort of your own home but with a hint of educational value. MoMA’s online courses are free to enrol and focus on modern and contemporary art. Learners will hear from artists and designers using the MoMA collection as a reference point.
We get it. You want to shop second-hand but are on the hunt for a specific book. Alibris is the solution. The online store has a network of independent sellers globally, many of whom are listed in the UK, where you’ll also find rare editions and vinyl if that’s your thing.
Based in London Fields, Glasshouse is a gender-neutral, sustainable salon that prides itself on using gentle products and natural ingredients. The cohort of talented stylists are experts in their field and are the friendliest bunch. You even get a beverage from a selection of herbal teas and organic wines upon arrival. A calm retreat in bustling London, the space also houses a shop supporting independent businesses across lifestyle and wellness products. Their online store is great for those not in the area, too.
Founded by actress Dakota Johnson and former Netflix development exec Ro Donnelly, TeaTime is a production company and curatorial platform celebrating escapism entertainment in various forms. Their first feature film, Am I Okay? directed by comedian Tig Notaro, premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. On Instagram, TeaTime shares film, TV, literature, art, and music recommendations while collaborating with other brands to tap into its audience's taste buds.
