Posted on 26/04/2012 by Fashion Team
FAIRY-TALE-CASTLE

Looking at these photos you may think you are looking at images from one of the many popular fantasy films out there today, think Lord of the Rings or Snow White, when really you’re looking at Germany’s stunning Neuschwanstein Castle. The castle was built in the late 1800’s and was opened to the public in 1886, as it was originally supposed to be a retreat for King Ludwig the 2nd of Bavaria, but he died before it was ever completed. These breath taking photos show only a small amount of the impact the castle has, not only in size but [...]

The video below is a short vignette of a book being created using traditional printing methods. Made for the Daily Telegraph, film maker, Glen Milner captures the fascinating and almost mesmeric processes of Suzanne St. Albans’ book – ‘Mango and Mimosa’ being printed and made-up at Smith-Settle Printers in Leeds, England. www.julesb.co.uk

B ADVENTUROUS: BUENOS AIRES – POLO & PANTOMIME

Posted on 25/04/2012 by Product Editor
BUENOS-AIRES

This week in Jules B H/O we’ve been travel lusting over a place famous for its unique blend of cosmopolitan culture, friendly Porteños, delicious food and buzzing nightlife. There’s nowhere quite like Buenos Aires, Argentina… As the largest city and capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires sits on the western shores of the estuary of the Rio de la Plata, but from photographs you probably wouldn’t immediately place its buildings as South American. Instead the city is renowned for its European style architecture due to historically, the high number of Italian immigrants, and rich cultural life where one minute you’ll find [...]
