100 Beards #PinItForwardUK

 photo pinterest.jpg

This month, Pinterest launched it's UK 'Pin it Forward' campaign. Despite this being the first official launch in Europe, the site already has a pretty huge following. I joined in 2011 and very quickly got into the swing using the site to source inspiration for my work. Pinterest is so visual, it seems perfectly engineered for a photographers use.

With a few boozy Pinterest get-togethers in London last month, I've truly re-integrated into the pinning world. It's been incredible to meet so many bloggers & vloggers in person who are also Pinterest aficionados. Through the banter at the Pin it Forward UK campaign launch, I spotted a few pinners who are top of my follow list...namely Dvora, Individualism and Menswear Style.

You can follow me on Pinterest here @GarconJon - the next blogger on the #PinItForwardUK campaign is My Car Gossip.

Jimmy Choo Men's Store Opening: Dover Street, London

There seems to be some kind of revolution around the #Selfie these days. Although I don't usually dabble in such activities (my Instagram is proof) I was caught red handed at the Jimmy Choo men's store opening on Dover Street last night. Myself and the charming Nick Bain & Neil Thornton were snapped, mid-pose in front of their latest range of footwear.

Sartorial 7: Shimla Jewellery

 photo sartorial7IMG_6176.jpg

Sartorial 7 is a new mens style collective, assembled as a discussion group on style, menswear and London culture. Made up of 7 men in the industry, our first meeting in Shoreditch was filmed by Threads TV and centred around the launch of Shimla's mens jewellery line. Meeting in the luxurious wood-lined boardroom of Coffin on Cake, we opened the drinks cabinate, let the whiskey flow and cut no corners in our first discussion.
