I started watching Clarkson’s Farm the other night, the Top Gear of agriculture hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, who bought a 1000 acre estate in the Cotswolds in 2008 and then decided to farm it himself in 2019 when the local guy who managed it retired. In the first episode Jeremy buys a huge Lamborghini tractor, which is basically the only triumphant moment in the battle of man vs. nature that follows. You get the sense that Jeremy deeply regrets pitching the series in the first place. Meanwhile I'm hooked on browsing Lamborghini tractors online.

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

Made a WhatsApp group with all my film friends in it and have been using it coordinate going to screenings. It's so much fun! There's loads of little independent screenings happening where I live and some very good independent cinemas, but even if all you have is a TV you should start a film club too. This evening I'm off to an old pub that's been converted into an events space to watch The Garden by Derek Jarman 😎

Czech photographer Marie Tomanova has dope style and takes beautiful flicks documenting NYC youth culture. She has a new monograph out at the end of September called New York, New York that I can’t wait to get. (Full disclosure: I’m in it lmao.) Marie has one of the most infectious senses of optimism that I’ve ever encountered, and her first book, Young American, caught fire when it came out in 2019 because of how hopeful and empowered her subjects appear. Like Young American, NY, NY is probably going to sell out and become one of those rare coffee table books that occasionally comes up on Japanese eBay for $1,000, so shoutout to Antwaun Sargent who’s bringing me back a copy from the Rencontres d'Arles photo festival where it was announced.

I went out of town for almost a month recently, and the only thing I wished I had packed was my Goshi exfoliating towel. I hang it in my shower and use it a couple times a week and it makes my skin feel clean clean. It’s the best $15 you’ll ever spend on grooming. The one I have is a limited edition Golf Wang x Goshi collaboration, which is hilarious, but Tyler has great skin so it checks out. My other exfoliation tip is Byredo hand scrub, which make your hands feel super soft and smell incredible.

Maryam Nassir Zadeh’s menswear, which she designs with stylist Thistle Brown, is extremely underrated. I would buy this sweater vest in every color if I could. It’s the ideal weight and shape (slightly cropped and boxy) for wearing over a T-shirt, especially if you go up one size. I hate when my close friends and I wear the same thing, but we all have an MNZ sweater vest and I don’t even mind.
