Words: Gentleman's Journal
Welcome to the summer 2024 edition of Gentleman’s Journal, best enjoyed from the comfort of a poolside lounger or palm-fringed beach.
It all kicks off in our Portfolio section, in which we detail where to go, what to buy, and how to live. Discover the latest in the world of watches; find your next holiday-ready pair of swim shorts and sunglasses; learn how to channel the timeless elegance of The Talented Mr Ripley; try your hand at making a summer cocktail or two; revisit iconic retro trainer styles and indulge in a spot of escapism with our pick of the most glamorous reads.
The fun continues in House Notes, where we chart Nike’s recent downturn in fortune, before sitting down with party photographer Dafydd Jones to talk about the highs and lows of late-20th-century New York. We also sample some of the best sushi in London; offer up tips on talking to a sommelier; tap up singer-songwriter Jake Bugg for his ultimate summer playlist; reveal Santiago Lastra’s recipe for langoustine tacos; and head to Cap Ferrat for a Méhari safari.
In our Features pages, cover star Charles Leclerc is as cool and collected as every one of his Netflix appearances would have you believe, despite his jam-packed schedule of media appearances and motivational speeches, not to mention his day job of ripping around race tracks as a Formula 1 driver. We also sit down with former Tory MP Rory Stewart; meet emerging actor Ben Hardy; unpack the biggest art fraud in history; and reflect on the storied history of the iconic Marbella Club.
To round things off, our Society section sees an interview with Spencer Matthews, who’s about to run 30 marathons in 30 days; a round-up of some of the summer’s best parties; and a Q&A with Vinnie Jones. Happy reading and have a wonderful summer.
