Words: Jemima Wilson
This week, our Editor’s Picks list rounds up the most desirable new launches, sure to make a stylish statement – whether it’s turning up to a beach club on Riva’s impressive new 50Metri yacht, or donning Le Alfré’s smart Oxford Shirt for an important business meeting. Often, though, perfecting the finer details makes the best impression, so be sure to use Dr Sebagh’s Instant Fix Eye Gel to give your complexion a flawless finish, and don’t forget a spritz of Brioni’s new Eau de Parfum for a subtle, yet alluring scent. Take a look…
Back to business: Le Alfré Blue Contrast Oxford Shirt
Le Alfré is named after a ‘classic lad’ named Alfré, who had a love for traditional menswear, but didn’t feel it embodied a style that embraced a fun, cool aesthetic for today’s contemporary gent. Inspired by the iconic style of the 80’s “Banker Shirt”, but giving it cooler, more current look, Le Alfré has redesigned the power shirt for the modern businessman.
Day to night: Mulberry Heritage Day Clipper
Established in 1971, the roots of Mulberry are in Somerset, England, where Mulberry’s founder, Roger Saul, established the brand with just £500 from his mother, and a logo designed by his sister. A mix of town and country style, timeless design and traditional quality characterises everything the brand produces, including its new overnight bag crafted from a durable Eco Scotchgrain leather.
The long run: On Running The Roger Advantage
The third tennis-inspired sneaker to join On Running’s collection co-created with Roger Federer, THE ROGER Advantage is distinguished by its clean lines, minimal stitching and ultra-smooth matt faux leather. It features concealed CloudTec® elements – the brand’s trademark sensation of running on clouds for the most comfortable, versatile sneaker ever made.
Size matters: Riva Superyachts Division Riva 50Metri

Quick fix: Dr Sebagh Instant Fix Eye Lift Gel
