November's favourites: 4+1 men perfumes for winter 2019
Sexy, elegant or spicy here are some of our favourite perfumes for this winter.
Dollar Shave Club Blueprint 201

Diptyque Eau de Minthé

Montblanc Explorer Eau de Parfum
Herb (clary sage) on wood (cedar) on grass (vetiver)—like Big Sur in a bottle.
Floris Vert Fougère
A tenacious, multi-faceted fragrance reflecting a journey embarked upon by the Floris perfumers in pursuit of reimagining the iconic Fougère; the archetype of bold perfumery.
Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur

Theo-Mass Lexileictous: 'The Ice Age' Exhibition - Exclusive photojournal
Theo-Mass has presented his latest exhibition in Limassol, Cyprus and we were lucky enough to be at the opening -last Friday the 8th of November.
Eins gallery is pleased to present Theo-Mass Lexileictous’ solo exhibition entitled The Ice Age. This body of work is the consummation of three years of investigation into our distanced and complex relationship with the environment and nature, and the ephemeral, while questioning digital and physical fabrication processes to understand our evolving relationship to matter.
Theo-Mass’ work explores the boundaries between the digital and the existent, the relationship between the human and the machine, and its distinctive aesthetic, which focuses and experiments with the sensory experience of light, space and form. He works across a range of mediums, from sculpture, installation, photography to film, crossing boundaries between disciplines. Exploring the ever-changing nature of materiality and the meaning of substance in a Postdigital era, this work addresses these issues; however, unlike his previous works, it is removed from the technological and machine made.
‘The Ice Age’ presents 3 new performative sculptural hybrid objects which constantly evolve and change, an approach that generates a network of dynamic and unpredictable living situations that unfold in real-time.
Parts of the exhibition are still open until the 18th of November. Discover them around the old town of Limassol. Find out more online.

Prada x Adidas: The top collaboration of 2020 is coming soon
The rumor had been swelling since last month. It's now official since Prada and adidas have announced, on Instagram, preparing a duet project.
On social media, the tandem released the same snapshot of two adidas sneaker boxes in a Prada shopping bag . Should we expect new pairs of sneakers, a reinterpretation of an iconic sportswear brand or a line of clothing made from the signature nylon of the Italian company? Case to follow.

REY EXCLUSIVE: Interview with the Fashion Editor Luca Falcioni
The new Men’s Fashion Editor of Schön! Magazine talks exclusively on REY.
The Italian stylist who managed to put his name in some of the most important fashion publications ( Wonderland, Vogue, L’Officiel and more), talks to REY about fashion and styling, his personal experience in fashion and many more.
After studying and working in Rome, Luca moved to London to work in fashion. For him everything started at Selfridges where he used to work. His passion for fashion made his clients to want more and more from him and his personal styling skills push him to search more about it.
Was it easy for you to get the first job as a fashion stylist? How have you started your fashion journey?
My first experience in fashion was as an intern in the Fendi Head Office in Rome. I spent 6 months working on: digitisation of the brand's historical archive, rearranging and making a selection of sketches by Karl Lagerfeld, organising exhibitions of furs in Japan, dealing with the restoration of ready-to-wear and accessories from the archive (only to mention a few). It was an incredible experience! I learned a lot from it and definitely made me understand how to deal with different situations in the world of work. My strength of will and curiosity have always guided me during my journey. After the internship I moved to London looking for a new adventure. I started working for Selfridges, famous luxury department store in Central London, as a client advisor first and then as a manager. After years on the shop floor dealing with clothes and styling clients, from all over the world, I suddenly understood that styling was my real passion. Mixing and matching different garments and brands I was able to express myself creating looks. So I decided to look for an internship in the editorial business and Wonderland was my start up. I was in charge of 4 different publications (Wonderland, Man About Town, Rollacoaster and Gaytimes). I started just shooting for online. I was constantly experimenting with styling and working with different artists and after few months I started shooting printed projects. From that moment on, I have never stopped: covers, editorials, worldwide campaigns (Swatch, Netflix, Fiorucci, Police just to name a few) and celebrities.
How would you describe yourself as a stylist? What is your vision?
My personal style is sexy, rock n’ roll which influences my work too. On set I use lot of leather, transparent garments, ripped denim, animalier prints, lace and accessories. I love making models/ talents feel confident and sensual. I have created my own aesthetic through the idea of beauty that I have developed over the experiences and the years. Once Sofia Loren said :'A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view’. Italia is love, sex and culture. Being Italian definitely has influenced my vision.
Editorial or Celebrity styling?
I like both! When I am on set with models i don’t have any filters, I can let my imagination runs wild. They follow my directions and wear whatever I want.
Completely different when I style celebrities, they have their own brand to consider. My job is to make them happy and confident spotlighting their personalities. It is definitely more challenging than models. But I am an Aries, I love challenges!
In your job you have to study about fashion and search for ideas all the time. How do you find inspiration for your projects?
My main sources of inspiration are: music, art, cinema and fashion. Living in this era where technology is fundamental, social media definitely influence and inspire my work too. Even my country has been influenced me through: the origins, history, culture, and therefore its cinema, its literature and the characters that were its icons.
Have you found your muse? Any other models we should watch?
Personally I have more than one. I always discover new people who are a source of artistic inspiration. Right now I am obsessed with : Zendaya, Rosalia, Lizzo and Billie Ellish. They are all strong, stylish and talented women. In terms of model I am obsessed with : Aweng Chuol (who I shot for Collectible Dry), Fernando Lindez, Alton Maison, Mica Argañaraz.
You have worked with a lot of celebrities. Which collaboration was your favourite and why?
Few months ago I worked on one of the most memorable projects I've done so far. I styled the worldwide campaign for Police ( brand that produces sunglasses and accessories) with Lewis Hamilton. The formula one driver has been five times Formula One World Champion. He is often considered the best driver of his generation and widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport. Fast cars are not just his interest, he is also really into fashion. Lewis has teamed up with the American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger to create his own line called TommyXLewis and he did the same with Police designing his own sunglasses collection.
Styling and spending time with him on set was really inspiring. Unfortunately I can’t tell you more… the campaign is coming out soon. Can’t wait to share it with all of you!
Even shooting one of the main character from Game of Thrones : Maisie Williams. She was so lovely on set and she looked stunning wearing all Moschino for the cover story. I decided to make her completely different than the character she played in the famous series. She was colourful, sexy and confident. Stay tuned more celebrities and amazing projects are coming out soon.
Do you follow the trends? Which look is your favourite for this autumn/winter? (menswear)
it all depends if i am into the trend. I always try to propose stories that represent me and my vision.
My favourite trends for Autumn/ Winter are : grunge, dyed hair, cargo pants, military and oversize tailoring.
Favourite new designers?
Marinne Serre, Richard Quinn, Dilara Findikoglu Daniel Flewtcher, CMMN and John Lawrence Sullivan.
I’m also obsessed with Daniel Lee, the new creative director of Bottega Veneta. I really like his vision, his daring and courageous creativity.
Favourite SS20 collections?
Prada, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Ludovic De Saint Sernin.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a career in fashion?
First of all choose an area of fashion where you would like to work. Fashion jobs include everything from: photography, styling, merchandising, buying to designing. Try your hardest to get as much experience as possible : internships are always a good way to start.
Don’t give up. Life rewards those who work hard at it.
Any future plans or project you would like to share with us…
I am travelling a lot this year and I have a lot of stories and a couple of campaign dropping soon. Look out for them across my channels below:

TASOS XIARCHO x REY Magazine
He is one of the most inspirational dancers and choreographers in Greece.
We fell in love with his eccentric style and attitude and we couldn’t wait until the moment of his collaboration with REY.
He works for some of the biggest names in Greece like Tamta and Eleni Foureira and he usually doesn’t stop on the choreography part as he loves creating the whole image of the projects he produces ( including styling and art direction).
Tasos Xiarcho is a true artist and we are sure he will always excel in Greece and Europe.
