  • Millennial Gent Awards 2019

    We have reached the end of 2019 and 2020 has dawned. So it’s time for a very swift look back at the year that was – and what we can learn from those people who took the ride with us. Hardest Worker in the Room – Dwayne Johnson The artist formerly known as The Rock…

  • 20 rules for 2020

    Ah, New Year’s Day. It is one of our great traditions. As a new year – and a new decade – dawn, we customarily greet it with a hangover and a list of ‘new year, new me’ resolutions which will have been largely confined to the forgotten waste paper bin of life before Spring’s blossoms…

  • Looking ahead to 2020

    We are almost back in the Twenties. 2019 was an interesting year for me and Millennial Gent. In the early summer I took redundancy from the magazine I was working for and went freelance.

  • A night with Jeff Goldblum at Pryzm

    Jeff Goldblum is in his element. Sharply dressed, the Hollywood megastar is holding court in front of a packed ballroom at Kingston’s Pryzm nightclub. “Thank you all for coming out tonight to Pryzm,” he purrs, before greeting a lady in the front row: “Hey don’t I know you? Didn’t we meet yesterday? You’re from Nat…

  • Timex gives style a Batman twist

    If you are looking for a new day-wear watch, Timex might just have answered your prayers with this, the Allied Three GMT ‘Batman’. Earlier this year, Rolex caused a stir at Baselworld with its GMT Master II (126710) in Batman colours. Before it launched, the watch already had three years of backorders, making it almost…
