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 forward 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 a new, larger venue, the Copenhagen-based menswear brand is hosting a short-stay pop-up on Møntergade 5a that runs until the end of February. Their core values centre around clothing built on longevity, making considered purchases and a modern customer experience.
Eugene Schlumberger @ Pop Recs
For the shorter month of Feb, we’ll treat you with a double rec. Exhibited at Pop Recs in Sunderland, photographer Eugene Schlumberger captures northern, modernist architecture and his work will be on show from February 16th and running for the next few months. While you’re there, you have to 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 (Martha Marcy May Marlene, Orange Is The New Black, 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 the 6th & 13th of March (9.00 - 9.30) but there’s more to choose from in the wider series. It compasses breathwork with something a little more physical - a unique kickstart to your day. And it’s free!
No Place Like Home is a football magazine and collaboration between writers, photographers and creatives with a love for the game. We recently found ourselves taking a deep dive 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. Handpicked guests from wealthy food critics to high-profile business partners are invited to dine through a series of tasting dishes, presented by a cult of chefs. What starts off 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. The Museum of Modern Art’s online courses is 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 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 on arrival from a selection of herbal teas and organic wines. A calm retreat in bustling London, the space also houses a shop supporting independent businesses across lifestyle and wellness products. For those not in the area, their online store is great 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 and they share film, TV, literature, art and music recommendations on their Instagram while collaborating with other brands to tap into their taste buds.
