Sir David Frost for Dunhill

" My father often used to talk about that old proverb, 'Even a stopped clock is right twice a day'. In other words, everybody you meet has something to teach you-if you take the trouble to find it. The most unlikely person can enlighten your life. That's tremendously important for the self-worth of the people you meet, as well as your own.

There are all sorts of ways in which we're not equal, but we are all equal in what we can strive for. When I interviewed Senator Robert Kennedy back in 1968-the last interview he gave before his assassination- I asked him how he would like to be remembered. he replied, " Well, there is a line of Albert Camus that says, 'This is a world in which children suffer.' I'd like to have made a contribution to lessening that suffering." Kennedy spoke a lot about making a contribution. He used to say: " For if we do not do this, then who will do this?" It's so simple: if you have a talent, you have a duty to use it to the full.

Making a contribution and making a difference-they should be linked-is not only something that famous people can do, or that dead politicians can be quoted on. It  is something that everyone can do in their own lives..."

Can we check in please....?

One of the local residents at Gudbrandsjuvet, Knut Slinning, is building a landscape hotel.
Basically each room is a detached small independent house with one, or sometimes two of the walls constructed in glass. The landscape in which these rooms are placed is by most people considered spectacularly beautiful and varied and the topography allows a layout where no room looks at another. In this way every room gets its own surprising view of a dramatic piece of landscape, always changing with the weather and the time of the day and the season.

MAX it

Foot-length dresses, skirts, jumpsuits, trousers - anything. Here Tibi (left) and Marc Jacobs (right) create a feminine, casual yet glamorous look. Acne (bottom) mixes air with edge and gets magic.

Roka approves. All autumn/winter 2011/2012.

Super simple!

So simple, but so right! Loving that some poeple can look just look effortlessly cool wearing a tank top or sleeved jersey top. Sourced from The Sartorialist.
