New beginnings and my big excuse

  Didn't I mention something about consistency only a few months ago. I'm terrible aren't I. So here is my excuse. All 228 pages of MFMs first digital magazine which launched on Friday. As a few of you are aware I've been writing for MFM for a few years now and in September was made Style Director for the online base. Within a few weeks into my tenure as SD myself and Editor in-chief Paul McGregor were making plans to launch a printed and digital magazine. It was an idea we've both talked about for sometime and saw potential in the marketplace for a publication that would appeal to the average joe and to the sartorially cultured. It's based around our passion for menswear and wanting to share that whether you know your Thom Browne from your Thom Sweeney or you've taking a new found interest in mens fashion. Inclusivity is the key word. Anyway enough of the hard sale check it out for yourself as it's available from the App Store and Google Play for £1.99. Would love to hear your feedback so please feel free to get in touch by commenting on here or on twitter @danielrhone.

So that's a big chunk of my excuse out of the way for going AWOL again, but there's a significant piece of news I need to notify on. I have a new job. One that I have pursuing for a while now (other chunk of the excuse!) I am now Personal Shopper for Topman at their flagship position in Oxford Circus, London. The role is something I'm extremely passionate about and working day to day with a menswear retailer that leads the way on the high street in terms of business model and offer with a personal shopping service that is unrivaled, I am truly over the moon with the opportunity I've been given. For any of you that don't know about the Topman PS service it's free with no obligation on spend. All we ask is you have a specification that we can work with and ideally you pre book with our PS booking team (bookings@topman.com). Expect a few posts to be Topman personal shopping related in a tasteful manor of course. 

So there's my excuse. Hope I'm off the hook. Time management has also been assessed so you should see a more regular post pattern soon enough.. The proof is in the posting.
