Ponytail Journal
+ Supplies

During an exclusive photo shoot in a secret island in Thailand to mark Dragon boat holiday and kick off the summer travel season, I shared my take on the perfect luggage mission to capture the three relaxing moments during vacation. Partnering up with Yoox, I made a special Ponytail flavoured selection from their Spring Summer 16 collection that would float our kinda salty sailin’ boat.

Our friend Nigel Cabourn’s favourite summer hang out in Japan is only a hop-skip-and-a-jump away from Tokyo, where the echo of cicada calls in the city are swept away with the fresh sea air on the coast. We took a local train out to the volcanic sand covered beaches of Hayama to discover the colourful seaside culture that wonderfully describes the eclectic patchwork of Japanese summer culture. It’s full of bamboo, Hawaiian prints, kayaking, and banana juice spiked with Malibu.

A great fabric has the power to elevate design and give life to it, thanks to the way it was made, or perhaps the history it carries within its fibres. When we get dressed we should consider the appropriateness of a fabric to the occasion, climate, or perhaps the mood we might be in that day.

Let’s move the spotlight over a few steps to All General Made in the UK where founders Jamie and Anna are taking advantage of Britain’s family run tanneries like Joseph Clayton & Sons, as well as world renowned leathers from the US and Italy to celebrate their love for creation. Lauren looks at their British vegetable tanned wallet that became her daily drag around.

To welcome the balmy world of W’menswear Spring Summer 17 to our Universe, we shot a short film to celebrate moments, creation, and stinky train rides with little dialogue.

We all know that unless we’ve managed to grow a money tree in the backyard, the investment shoe should be something that speaks to newness, while balanced with the timelessness of familiarity.

Buying denim, or buying a pair of jeans is a really big decision for a lot of us. It’s that pair that you hope will flatter you in all the right places, last for a good long while, and also a style that you won’t get sick of a few weeks in. Choosing denim is not only about fit, but it’s about colour, wash, stitching, pockets, crotch, weight, and don’t be embarrassed if you have no idea what this word ’selvedge’ even means, or why people are so obsessed with raw denim. Don’t worry, Ponytail got-cha-back.
