MR PORTER and director Mr Matthew Vaughn have created a bespoke collection from Ms Arianne Phillips’ costume design for Kingsman. The focus is on British heritage, with cloths sourced from traditional mills and hand-picked collaborations with classic brands.
It is not often that you get blown away by a new fragrance. At StylePilot we’ve tried the Golden Serenade by JUSBOX. We fell in love with its strong body, its unique notes of pure oud oil, amber and saffron.
This extrait de parfum is a unique fragrance. Wearing it is a real statement itself.
It is inspired by the first gold record that was awarded to Glenn Miller and his band in 1942 for the sales of 1 million records.
THE JUSBOX PERFUMES BRAND
Jusbox is an exclusive range of perfumes whose concept is based on the similarity between perfume and music. Music is indeed the key inspiration for all their fragrances.
Music and Perfume share a similar and extraordinary power: intensely and yet involuntarily they both have the ability to bring back the most hidden emotions and memories. A smell that marked a specific moment in your life comes back and suddenly makes unforgettable memories re-emerge. In the same way, hearing a song that meant so much to you instantly touches your soul, recalling moments you thought you had forgotten.
It is no coincidence that music and perfume both speak the common language of notes. The perfumer, just like the musician, plays notes and accords to compose superb and touching harmonies. Sometimes the language of perfumery may appear difficult and hard to decode and this is why Jusbox makes use of the language of music, usually more familiar, in order to make everyone clearly understand the true essence of its perfumes.
A COLLECTION OF NOTES
Icons Collection takes its inspiration from musical and generational icons emerging from social, historic, cultural and artistic contexts, lending their voice to the messages, emotions, ideas and trends of their times.
Genres Collection interprets the characteristic rhythm, the emotional force, character and historical and cultural background of a musical genre. Musical genres are the soul of a nation, of generations and social and political movements and are indelibly ingrained within us.
Music Matters is inspired by the benefits that both music and perfume can have on our soul. It doesn’t matter which genre, music has the power to inspire multiple responses – physiological, emotional, cognitive and behavioural – at a very personal level. In the same way, scents can be used to enhance and improve our well being, thanks to the aromatherapy effects of its ingredients.
PACKAGING
Everything in the world of Jusbox is ispired by music, even the packaging. The squared, modern, elegant, ergonomic bottle is a 78 ml to pay homage to the first phonographic disc that was 78 rpm. On its top, the cap celebrates the most well known auditory mean in the history of music: the vinyl. The rigid soft touch box is similar as shape and opening to a CD box. Inside you will find a leaflet that explains the inspiration and mood of each perfume.

This November, River Island debuts an exclusive collaboration with multi-platinum selling artist Olly Murs, combining affordable luxury with contemporary wardrobe staples. Olly Murs x River Island channels Murs’ flair for understated cool in to a fourteen-piece collection of premium tops, trousers, outerwear and tailoring; realising his creative vision through luxe textures and rich colour, underpinned by bold geometric print.
In Olly’s own words: “I have always loved clothes, but for me to do a fashion collaboration, it had to be authentic and River Island seemed like the perfect fit. The brand has always been close to my heart and my earliest memories of payday shopping with my mates at the local store in Essex make this collaboration all the more personal to me. I was fully immersed in the design process to ensure that every piece was true to my style. I have loved every minute of it and I can’t wait to share the collection with my fans.”
Elegant day-to-night dressing and is core to the smart-casual aesthetic of the range. The bronze Harrington jackets and single-breasted dinner jacket are lightly structured, cut from butter-soft velvet and just as easily paired with a premium cotton tee or a fitted turtleneck. The slim fit and narrow notch lapels of the check single breasted suit is complimented by modern styling, teaming trainers with a lightweight knit.
Luxurious, fine gauge knitwear is a signature Olly Murs look. Block panel crew-neck knits in icy blue and rich brown are statement pieces in the range, offset by the understated elegance of the merino wool polos in the range in black and mustard, an essential weekend look when layered with the ice blue overcoat tailored trousers in houndstooth, black or check.
Arresting prints offset the muted chic of the other separates in the range. Two unique styles in bold chevron and geometric print in icy blue and cool grey are applied to louche viscose shirts. The voluminous drape of the shirting compliments the sharp, clean lines of tailored trousers, completing the look with crisp white trainers or tie-bar leather loafers.
Olly Murs x River Island is available at riverisland.com and in selected stores.

Woven overlay mixes and gym tech pique fabrics are finished with slick coated zips. Made to be worn oversized, reflective design details ensure night visibility fusing urban styling with practicality.
The ‘Active’ Collection
SuperdrySport’s AW18 ‘Active’ range encapsulates your essential go-to gym product. Sweat-wicking and ventilated materials allow quick drying and breathable separates ideal for both indoor and outdoor training. Fluo brights and neons give an energy injection: women’s mesh panel leggings in block colours and sci-fi graphics give a tough yet feminine edge. 3D print techniques can be seen across the menswear collection with key product including a thermal winter training zip hood and pant, ideal for those icy early morning runs.
The ‘Performance’ Collection
The introduction of compression fabrics will ensure SuperdrySport’s ‘Performance’ wear has your back during high energy exercise. Training, goal orientated product includes lightweight layers, heat reflecting patterns and waterproof/windproof lamination. Bonded and taped seams ensure maximum movement, support and comfort.
