The shining winter issue of DORIAN has descended from above. We’ve met KARL LAGERFELD, the most powerful man in fashion, and tween idol megastars JUSTIN BIEBER, TAYLOR LAUTNER and ROBERT PATTINSON. The issue also features a luxe gift guide and lots of high style winter fashion. We also travel to a SECRET CELEBRITY HIDEAWAY, give HOME DNA TESTS a go and try to find out if JESUS actually was GAY(!?).

Red Model Management invited us over for a cocktailparty at their office with a view over Chelsea in New York where some of their hottest and most booked models attended. Christophe Sanchez-Vale, agent for the men’s division, took us around their office to introduce us to their newest male model Kim Kraglund from Denmark, and the sweet model Nykhor Paul. Some photographers behind these model shoots as Joseph Bleu, who said he’s a big fan of Dorian, enjoyed champagne among peers such as Renie Saliba, Gary Lupton and the team behind models.com.
It was a beautiful view to enjoy among the people from the fashion industry and we don’t just talk about the view.

It truly is the festive season with a virtual explosion of lovely fashion events. A few favourites has been the intimate dinner with Spalt PR and german, urban fashion brand New Yorker at F12 and Thomas Hägg’s Dockers flagship store opening at PK-Huset – making a wonderful addition to the department store’s offer.
RMPR hosted J Lindeberg‘s new coffee table photo book launch aswell as a lavish evening for Swedish suit masters Cavaliere with master chef Gert Klötzke, at Stockholm’s historical Skansen, where we learned about the brand’s advanced skills and the spring collection; slim silouettes in a sea of blue hues, contrasted by crisp white, coloured pinstripes or a lot of checkered fabrics – silk, wool or jersey – all from iconic fabric makers Loro Piana and Cerruti – and always with a coloured pocket square! We were also fortunate enough to create our own suit jacket, before we all helped make dinner. It was hilarous to see ten top fashion individuals trying to execute Gert Klötzke’s instructions. The outcome was a delicious three course triumph with hand made sausage, perfectly cooked duck breast and panna cotta. Klick image for gallery.
