Premier was out and about again this past weekend, this time we ventured out to Southend and to the Slam Dunk festival in Hatfield. Here’s Tom’s report – jealous, us? Oh yessss!“Super Sunny Sunday at Slam Dunk Festival in Hatfield! Thousands of tattooed and pierced teen rockers with multicoloured hair moshed all day in the amazing sunshine! Whether you’r e14-17 and just drinking soft drinks or over 18 and on the Jaegerbombs this festival had something for any die hard festival goer.
Lots of fun to be had inside too with a cool Dupstep room and ambient lighting in the main room!

I’ll definitely be back for more Slam Dunkin awsomeness next year!” – Tom Berry

And then we had a beautiful Saturday spent scouting in the Essex seaside resort of Southend on Sea. Julien and I marched up and down the promenade checking out the Essex talent which was out in full force due to the Southend Airshow. The Adventure Island funfair was exiting and multicoloured with superb performance of the cast of Oliver. We finished of the day with a well deserved ice-cream!

Hello dearest Premier friends, we hope you’re all as lucky as we are, sitting in an office on ground level, a ton of windows and a fun team to enjoy the first signs of the Great British Summer… obviously not having to sit in an office would be even better… like being a model for instance…

Premier’s summer of fun continued this weekend with Anthony & Jake at the Lakefest. Although the weekend weather wasn’t kind to our scouts Anthony & Jake, they had a great time at Lakefest near Tewkesbury despite it. A lovely family festival with great music, yummy food, and, well, a lake! After scouring the crowds, they jumped into the lake themselves (protected only by a bubble). There is nowhere a Premier scout won’t go! We’ll be back next year!!

Leomie Anderson ventured out to beautiful Austria, Vienna to be exact, to celebrate one of the biggest events ever to happen in this idyllic city, the 20th Life Ball – with Bill Clinton, Antonio Banderas etc to name a few celebs… she told us it was the most fun she’s had in quite some time!

This Philip Tracey hat (above) was originally designed for and worn by Grace Jones!!

Sasha looking adorable and stunning in this editorial by Lara Jade for Institute Magazine.

And the lovely Tom Berry went up to Derby and headed to the Bearded Theory Festival… here’s his report:
I spent my weekend at the Bearded Theory festival in my home town of Derby. Set in the grounds of the beautiful stately home of Kedleston hall the festival was small but jam packed with fun for all the family. Whether you wanted the action of the big bands on the main stage, the intimateness of the acoustic sessions in the smaller tents or the loud trance beats in the dark rave tent! Also lots of games and activities to keep the kids entertained whilst mum and dad lets their dreadlocked hair down. What a great way to start off the festival season!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today we have decided we will brace the cold British summer with grace and simply ignore it all. We shall do so with a few gorgeous cocktails and songs like “Kokomo” or “Escape”. We’re also quite jealous seeing those brand new Church shoes on Aidan’s foot… they’re quite major we think…

Another fabulous individual we can’t help but be just a tiny bit jealous is Portia Freeman, we’ve been following her every step in this month’s TODAY I’m WEARING on VOGUE.COM. Slightly obessed now…
Now let us show you some new imagery and wish you all a fabulous weekend!!

John Pearson, what can we say… men want to be him, women want to be with him… and Harold Magazine caught up with the man himself for a quick interview of what exactly drives Mr Pearson. Take note, Girls & Boys

HAROLD meets with Vogue’s top male model of all time, John Pearson.

Dear John,
HAROLD wants to know….

H: The strangest or most unique thing you’ve spent money on?
JP: I once bought a poem from a girl on a Cuban beach…

H: Signature Scent?
JP: Pure extract of Lotus oil from India that I’m going to market – JP25 – everyone wants to hug me when I wear the slightest dab… proper hug!

H: Best pair of jeans?
JP: Has to be Levis – Capital E slim. I went to buy a second pair last Saturday only to be told they were discontinued 2 years ago. I knew I ought to have bought in bulk..

H: Best grooming tip you can share with mankind
JP: Less is more… use a moisturizer, not fussed on what kind… there, I’ve said it!

H: The one luxury item you couldn’t live without
JP: A fine fitting Savile Row suit – mine’s a Kilgour.

H: In your eyes, who is the ultimate beauty?
JP: After my daughter and wife…wow, Meryl Streep was the first to come to mind, then Audrey Hepburn. I think Marion Cotillard is rather gorgeous and of course Turly, Christy Turlington , she’s a timeless beauty – it’s always a balance of the outside and inside… soul, grace, confidence and intelligence – and a penchant for laughter!

H: Camping or luxury hotel in Hong Kong?
JP: Camping in the right location with the right crew with a self made fire and endless night sky is always going to win.

H: What’s the coolest place you’ve jet-setted to?

JP: I’m very fortunate to have experienced many such trips but scuba diving under a full moon in the Seychelles was not too shabby…Cuba 20 years ago was amazing…too many to list…

H: What do you wear to check the time?
JP: Timex Marine issue with black face and strap. Always wanted one when I was a kid and then JCrew reissued them a few years ago – Brilliant!

H: What is your favourite place to dine in Europe?
JP: Amongst the olive trees at the Santa Catarina Hotel in Amalfi – it’s where I took my wife on our honeymoon many years ago…..and many memorable evenings at the Ivy in London.

H: What’s hanging on your walls?
JP: We collect photographs so, Kurt Markus, Lartigue, Giacomelli, Lee Miller, Bailey…..

H: Favorite set of wheels?
My Silver 67 VW Karman Ghia…I’ve had her for 26 years…and I’m loving the all electric Model S Tesla.

H: Man-bag?
JP: I’ve just commandeered a man bag that was a gift from Louis Vuitton to my wife…black leather, simple, elegant, masculine – she didn’t want me to pinch it but why not? It needs to work and it’ll get better with age, develop a patina/character….

H: Favourite album of all time?
JP: This is way too difficult a question…David Bowie’s Hunky Dory comes close..

H: Who’s your favourite designer?
JP: Talking clothes? I love Saint Laurent and have just today received a very nice 3 piece suit by Oliver Spencer – cotton twill – a tad eccentric with great touches inside and out – makes me feel like a contemporary Graham Greene.

H: Where do you stay in your favourite city?
JP: I’ve friends in many of my favourite cities and so it’s nice to spend time with them but I do love Claridges in London.
