The Hottest Event at Henley: Christabel's x Chinawhite

Sponsored by Moët & Chandon and Rock Angel by Whispering Angel, the Chinawhite Group and the cult member's club, Christabel's, will be collaborating at this year's annual Henley Royal Regatta. The perfect alliance, Christabel's has become known as the somewhat naughty new kid on the block, with its infamous tagline, 'Good girls go to Annabel's, bad girls go to Christabel's'. With live bands, burlesque performances, and a commitment to creative freedom, Christabel's has operated in various locations including Fulham Town Hall, Fitzrovia, and Soho, providing a sanctuary for London's alternative and avant-garde. Chinawhite is also synonymous with high-profile nightlife. The nightclub has attracted A-listers such as Leonardo Di Caprio, Kate Moss, and Tom Cruise throughout its illustrious history. Notable for introducing Ibiza vibes and hedonism to the British Summer Season, Chinawhite's 2-acre enclosure at the Cartier Polo has become a legend in itself. For nine years, Chinawhite have also added their trademark spice to the Henley Royal Regatta, with last year's Henley enclosure attracting the likes of Made In Chelsea's Sophie Hermann, Hum Fleming, Daisy Lewis, Jamie Winston, Noelle Reno and Martha Sitwell.

The Sybarite’s Oscars Best Dressed List

Without a shadow of a doubt, the Academy Awards are the biggest night out in Hollywood, with the calibre of outfits to match. It’s the truest form of “Hollywood Glamour”, owed to a dress code rumoured to be the strictest of its kind. This year, the 95th edition of the Academy Awards gave us no less than an award-winning performance, dramatic moments, comedy, tears, and dreams coming true - does it get any better than that?

Bringing Back Boujis: Get Ready for B London

They’ve hosted rockstars and royalty during their wildest nights out. Now, the team behind Mahiki, Raffles Chelsea, and the once happening Boujis, brings B London to the fold, with a view to capturing the best of old and new. For those unfamiliar with Boujis, the significance of B London’s upcoming launch - geared for March of this year - is rooted heavily in the once popular club which closed in 2016. During its epic run, made memorable by the drove of celebrities passing in and out of its doors, Boujis made headlines for high class drama perpetrated by none other than its clientele. This included Princes William and Harry, commonly caught by paparazzi stumbling from the club in the early hours of the morning. Speaking to veteran nightclub owner and B London partner, Carlo Carello, it’d be remiss of The Sybarite not to enquire about his knowledge of the royals, who are, as expected at this time, a little on the contentious side of public opinion. “To be honest, I’ll be brutal,” he said. “I’d love to stay away from Harry and William right now. There’s too much out there.”

Review of The Snowman at the Peacock Theatre

There is no doubt that this is a children’s Christmas classic, I remember watching it as a child and now I’m all grown up and taking my own two little people! After a magical walk looking at the Christmas lights, we headed to the theatre in the heart of London’s West End; full of excited children, nostalgic parents and many cuddly snowmen. The Snowman is directed by Bill Alexander and features music and lyrics by Howard Blake, including the famous song ‘Walking in the Air’, spectacular design by Ruari Murchison, magical lighting by Tim Mitchell, and amazing choreography by Robert North.

Featuring The Galaxy Yacht for Monaco Yacht Show 2022

Since 1991, the Monaco Yacht Show has been committed to promoting creative excellence in the world of superyachting, granting few the privilege of visiting a spectacular exhibition of the world's most luxurious (and expensive) superyachts. Held in Port Hercules, Monaco Yacht Show is Europe's biggest in-water display of large yachts; a sumptuous display of wealth, craftsmanship & expertise. The Galaxy superyacht is the epitome of what the Monaco Yacht Show represents: stylish, luxurious and chic. After undergoing a severe transformation, Galaxy is no longer just another white Superyacht gracing the ocean along the french riviera. Described by Njord by Bergman as, "a destination, a marvel that touches all your body's senses and excites and embraces you with its energy each step you take onboard", this beautiful superyacht is certainly a sight for sore eyes.

Review of Ada \ contemporary art gallery presents, cross...

April 22, 2021 (Accra, Ghana) – Accra-based ADA \ contemporary art gallery, specialized in the work of emerging artists across Africa and its diaspora, unveils its fourth consecutive debut solo exhibition since opening in October 2020 – Cross Hatching Affluence, an exhibition by emerging Ghanaian artist Hamid Nii Nortey (b. 1987). On view from May 6 – June 16, 2021 in person and online, the selection of 20 new figurative paintings acts as a mirror onto the Ghanaian capital’s fast-evolving urban and social landscape, thereby reappropriating a narrative long dominated by socioeconomic and political hardship.

Review of Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors Room at The Tate Modern

This year-long, focused exhibition showcases these much-loved works by one of the most celebrated artists working today. Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirror Rooms is a rare chance to experience two major installations alongside fascinating early documentation of Kusama’s experimental performances and events, as well as a brand-new sculptural work that continues the theme of endless replication. The exhibition features Infinity Mirrored Room - Filled with the Brilliance of Life, one of Kusama’s largest installations to date and originally created for her 2012 retrospective at Tate Modern. In this immersive work, mirrored walls and a shallow pool of water endlessly multiply a constellation of tiny, suspended lights tocreate a feeling of infinite space. This is shown alongside Chandelier of Grief another whole-room installation in which the viewer disappears into a seemingly boundless universe of rotating chandeliers.

MYBA Charter Show 2022 – the superyacht event of the year

It's been well over a decade since I was in Barcelona, and in recent years, I'd begun to hear vague whispers around London, a sort of polite secret the well-heeled and well-informed would occasionally share, that Barcelona was the 'new hottest' city in Europe. Greatness as a destination, is fragile, hard to achieve, and almost certainly anathema to widespread popularity; too many people, too exploited, and the character and charm evaporate under the tramp of the thronging masses. As you may well imagine then, I'm a little conflicted to write that yes, the rumours are true: Barcelona sits atop my estimation as one of the greatest cultural & luxury destinations in Europe.

Featuring Pattern Language art gallery by Squeak Carnwath

Jane Lombard Gallery will be hosting Pattern Language, an exhibition of new paintings by Squeak Carnwath.  The artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery, Pattern Language presents the viewer with intricate visual archives that entangle public observation and private introspection. The exhibition will be on view from April 29th to June 4th, with an opening reception April 29th from 5 - 7 PM. "Pattern recognition is an essential part of the human experience. We pull from memory to make sense of the world around us. Recognizable patterns allow us to understand common rhythms between people, places, and cultures, understanding the new through the familiar by assigning identity and meaning." As an artist, Carnwath paints her own thoughts and observations, often connected to politics and personal narratives, knowing others will create their own recognitions within her compositions.
