Just a small selection of my favourite #milandesigns from #milandesignweek (and by “week” I mean Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and by “designs” I mean chic grandfathers carrying their wives’ leather totes)

Well Q1 reports are in and it’s looking more & more conclusive: the gods of spring are out (Coach Wade warning on slide 14 for those scrolling next to impressionable wives or girlfriends)

Warm sand and grey sleet, bitter wind and beach reads, long runs and 60 lbs. of Portuguese tarts before noon, etc. etc. — balance was the operative word of the month 🤝

If your autumn wasn’t defined by culmination, integration, and (mostly importantly) fruitionizing, then I’ve got news for you buddy: your 2026 is already a step behind me and Timmy’s

The new school of Leo Woodall, for @sharpmagazine ’s Winter 2026 cover story. ♌️ Following @nurembergfilm ’s TIFF premiere this fall, I chatted with the young British star about transitioning from romcom heartthrob to a far darker, historical role alongside Rami Malek and Russell Crowe. Leo talks about learning from the heavyweight actors, how “Peaky Blinders” inspired his career, and living through every actor’s worst nightmare ahead of one of his biggest scenes in the film. Huge kudos to the team for this really stunning shoot (ft. a very cool vintage Range Rover) — you can dive into the full production and read the cover story at the link in my bio!

OCH x AGO — interviewed by me for SHARP’s November style feature. 🎨 With the NBA preseason tipping off this week, I sat down with @youngoch following what was a very, very big summer for Toronto’s young star. He got married and, later this year, is expecting his first child. He’s also the guy being asked to guard the Raptors’ best opposing player, from it’s Luka to KD to Ant. In his (very limited) spare time, he’s learning French and practicing daily. He’s also started his own foundation back in Kansas, where he became a hero after leading KU back to a National Championship in 2022. To sum it up: there’s a lot going on in the world of Ochai Agbaji. Heading into his fourth NBA season, Och talks fashion, parenthood, his identity in the league, and how to reset the Raptors’ culture in the heat of a rebuild.

Stranger Things ends next month! September ended this week! So now feels like the right time (sandwiched neatly in between) to drop our September cover star, @finnwolfhardofficial . We’ve seen him grow up in front of our very eyes and, dare I say, he’s entering his most exciting chapter yet. Interviewed by the one and only @calummarsh , Finn knows you want to ask about Stranger Things. But an artist in what seems like the truest sense of the word, the 22-year-old is already looking ahead. He just released his debut album (cool), launched his solo international tour (very cool), and saw his feature film “Hell of a Summer,” the comic slasher he co-wrote and co-directed with his friend, hit theatres this year (very, very cool). He also looks great in a Loro Piana suit and a Tiffany broach (coolest of all).

@f1movie hits theatres today, led by SHARP Summer cover star @damsonidris ! 🏎️🏎️🏎️ Incredible job by the team on putting this profile together. My personal benchmark for the most exciting covers/shoots/stories is usually: “Would it be easier or harder to get this person a year from now?” If it’d be definitively harder, that’s usually a sign that we made a good bet. Right now, Damson feels like the epitome of a “good bet” in Hollywood. I can’t wait to see what he’s up to next year. In the meantime, you can find him gracing our summer issue on newsstands now.

Quick trip to the city of lights aka the city of brotherly love aka Brooklyn for long runs, sore walks, and chronic eavesdropping 🤝 1:17:34, 25th/24,461 at the lovely Brooklyn Half — we’ll be back!

Bits & pieces from spring! 💐 Cover stories tend to get the most shine whenever an issue drops, and rightfully so. But it’s usually the smaller stories that end up being the most fun. With SHARP Spring on the shelves, here are a few of my favourite pieces from the issue: 1-4: For our culture feature, I interviewed Sonny Vacarro — the godfather of sports marketing and the man who signed MJ to Nike — for his new memoir. This man is so genuinely sweet, wise beyond measure, and probably still has the ear of your favourite athlete. His life is like something out of a Jack Kerouac novel (with more gambling) and one I’m so happy to we got highlight. Also, shoutout to our AD @cameron.morse for literally breaking the spine of the book and going full arts-and-crafts mode to cut out hi-res archive pictures that are otherwise almost impossible to track down. 5-7: Our watch editor interviewed Sotheby’s Global Head of Watches on the art of high-stakes auctions. Such a cool interview from someone who works with some of the rarest watches on earth and beautiful photos from @brentgoldsmith taken in his Manhattan office. Very Wall Street. 8-9: Our resident food writer, @puredanforth , got his boots on the ground in Athens to report on how the wine scene is changing drastically alongside the ancient city. What does that mean for a culture so rooted in winemaking? Working with Peter is such a fun ride in and of itself: you never know whether he’s across the world or a few blocks away working at Dreyfus. You also don’t know precisely when you’ll get the story, but when you do, it’s going to be written with the colour that only someone actually in the industry can deliver. 10-11: Style writer @benzirk does it again, this time interviewing menswear wunderkind @nolandanielwhite to offer guys the blueprint to dressing up in 2025, shot in Montreal by @lawrencefafard . Also, such a perfect job by @bananahales and @saharxnooraei to make the styling direction come to life alongside Nolan. 12: Ed’s letter! There are so many fun little bits in this issue and a million people who help put it together. But these are just a few of snippets. Check it out on newsstands now! 🪴
