Pitti Uomo Menswear AW23 Gnomes Scrapbook

menswear Pitti uomo trends gnomecoreMinus the fishing rod, and pond, the fashion gnomes were out in force at the recent Jan 2023 Pitti Uomo. Florence was a buzz with folkloric fortezza folk who seem to have fixated on the beanie with a slightly pointier top.

Gnomecore has become a major trend and it's easy to see why. All you really need is a baggie beanie. The men's industry, including, buyers and brand managers, like a trend that's easy and you can make your own. With Italian temperatures plummeting, it's also practical. There's no trend like gnome!

Menswear Trend The Kitchen Sink

menswear trend drainer sink elon musk loewe coat

When Elon Musk walked into Twitter HQ, after buying the company, he was carrying a sink. It was reportedly a pun on 'Let that sink in', but it could quite easily be taken that Twitter cost him everything but the kitchen sink and here it is!

It seems that sinks are in, or more specifically drainers. JW Anderson, creative director of Loewe, has decorated one half of an overcoat with stainless steel drain holes for the SS23 season. Next, should we be expecting a Fairy Liquid matching bag, or should we leave that to Anya Hindmarch? 

Perfectly ventilated or money down the drain?!

Get The Look Bones and All Floral Cowboy Shirt

get the look bones and all timothee chalamet menswearTheChicGeek says, “I know it’s cool to wear somebody else’s clothes today, but how about somebody you’ve just ate?! Timothée Chalamet plays a blood thirsty cannibal in Luca Guadagnino’s new film, Bones and All, and his wardrobe seems to consist of whatever is left over from his pickings.

While not exactly a snip, it could be seen as an investment, and leave you looking good enough to eat! Sorry.

Tried & Tested Aire Ancient Baths London

review tried tested aire ancient spa londonDestinations all over the world, Aire Ancient Baths London, opened in 2021, features numerous pools, such as Caldarium (Hot Bath /40ºC), Frigidarium (Cold Bath / 14ºC and Ice Bath 10ºC), Tepidarium (Warm Bath / 36ºC), Balneum (Bath of Thousand Jets), Vaporium (Steam Bath) and Flotation (Salt-water pool with salt the density of the Dead Sea), plus optional treatments in a listed Georgian townhouse.

TheChicGeek says, “The most welcome of London icebergs, Aire Ancient Baths, under an unassuming Georgian townhouse, is a cavernous wonderland of water and heat. The former home of Peter Pan’s JM Barrie, has, just two levels below the ground, a listed brick cellar that was almost made for these ‘ancient’ baths.

Close to where Father Thames once lapped the end of the street, this quiet road, just around the corner from Embankment Tube, feels almost dream like as you descend the stairs into this subterranean feast of tranquility. The website doesn’t do it justice.

A member of staff passes you along the journey, through the changing rooms - you have to wearing a swimsuit & water socks - to a quick tour of the dimly lit bathes, and then collect you for you treatment upstairs. I don’t envy them the job of recognising people they don’t know in the dimly lit pools. This was the only sticking point. It was quite a long wait for a member of staff to welcome me and I was conscious of my treatment with no watch or clock for any idea of time.

What awaits is a perfectly lit, like a Hollywood film, group of pools, which offer plenty of options to make the visit feel special and premium. The candles and music make it an instant switch off from the world upstairs. I was thinking it was like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the way it went from 18th century townhouse to ancient candle-lit baths underneath.

review tried tested aire ancient spa londonThe steam room was perfectly super-hot and the salt water pool was like being back in the womb! Each pool’s name was lit from behind by candles. Somebody must spend hours everyday lighting these, but it’s so worth it.

Couldn’t fault the design, and, also, it was busy enough to have atmosphere, but not busy enough to be annoying and not find your own spaces.

The treatments take place in the upper floors of the townhouse, and there is a lift to take you directly from the spa there. I had a 30 minute body massage which was perfectly fine.

I’d totally recommend this place as a treat for yourself or somebody else and if I see another one on my travels I’d happily check it out.”

Entry starts at £98pp to have free run of the baths for 90 minutes. I had a 30mins massage and experience at £170
