‘The Stylemate’ magazine: Issue 4
The latest issue of The Stylemate magazine from Lifestylehotels explores the shifting landscape of modern identity. Moving beyond outdated ideals of strength and stoicism, it examines how masculinity is being reshaped through emotion, individuality and self-expression. From music and personal stories to essays and sensory experiences, it traces a more nuanced perspective – one that embraces vulnerability as much as confidence. This edition reflects on what it means to define oneself today, revealing that identity is no longer fixed but continuously reimagined and expressed by living on one’s own terms.

The Monocle Book of Japan
Japan may be one of the world’s biggest economies, a global leader in everything from architecture to food and a country whose brands have flourished around the world, but it remains a bit of a mystery. Somehow it is simultaneously familiar and hard to fathom or it has been, until now. This book is the culmination of years of reporting across the country by Monocle and it delivers a unique insight into the people, places and products that define Japan. Whether you’re planning a visit or simply curious, The Monocle Book of Japan will unpack the nation for you. We’ll take you from snowy Hokkaido in the north to the tropical southern islands of Okinawa and, along the way, deep-dive into the worlds of culture, design, retail and more. It’s Japan revealed as never before.
