Q: What’s the one piece in your wardrobe you could never part with?

A: Honestly, it’s not just one – it’s every dress I own. They each hold memories, whether it was my graduation or a random Saturday that turned out better than expected.

Scarlet is the culture editor for the Brummell website and has contributed to publications such as Secret Trips.

Q: If you could own any piece of art in the world (no price tag attached), which one would you choose?

Ian has been a feature writer and travel journalist for longer than he can remember, covering stories and destinations from Antarctica to Korea, Haiti to Easter Island, Eswatini to Uzbekistan. During this time, he has been a magazine editor, Guardian columnist, regular contributor to The Times and Sunday Times, as well as appearing in the Financial Times, Telegraph and various glossy magazines – including Brummell for the past 17 years.

Q: What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever packed in your suitcase?

A: A huge plastic goose. I bought her in Arkansas on a Midwest road trip during autumn hunting season, where I saved her from becoming a decoy to attract other birds. She travelled between the front seats for 4,000 miles and we became too close to part. She didn’t fit in my case so had to go as check-in luggage with her own label. We’ve now been together for 25 years.

Q: What’s the one piece in your wardrobe you could never part with?

A: I never leave the house without my coral earring. It’s that perfect touch of red that instantly lifts any look and always reminds me of Sicily, my home.

He is also the men’s style editor for Country & Town House and a regular contributor to Brummell, where he’s usually scribbling about men’s style and watches.

Q: If you had to swap wardrobes with any historical figure, who would it be and why?

A: Probably HH Yeshwant Rao Holkar II, the Maharaja of Indore. He and his wife had such an exacting sense of style that blended both traditional South Asian dress and the latest western attire. Just look at the photos taken of them by Man Ray.

Q: What’s the most memorable car you’ve ever driven, and why?

A: I have been lucky enough to drive two Formula One cars, an AGS V10 and a Renault R30. They confirmed my belief that F1 stars really do earn their money.

Lucy is a luxury lifestyle writer specialising in food and drink, travel, wellness and motoring.

Q: You’re on a road trip with unlimited fuel and no speed limits – what car are you driving and where are you heading?

A: An early 1965 Porsche 911 along the Kirkstone Pass in the Lake District. All those challenging hairpin bends and steep gradients make for an exhilarating ride.

Q: What’s the best style advice you’ve ever received?

A: When I was starting out, my first proper job was for Paul Smith. He showed me, in how he dressed, that you could combine traditional clothes with modern designs. Jeans with tailored jackets, and suits with cowboy shirts. He opened my eyes to a way of dressing that is characterful but also not trying too hard.

Chris has written about many subjects: language for the Guardian, skiing for The Telegraph, Mediterranean restaurants for The Times, TV for Zoo Weekly and just about everything for Esquire. After several decades, he has finally settled on fine wines and spirits as his main topic of writing, editing the monthly Brummell Drinks Club newsletter.

Q: What’s your most controversial drink opinion?

A: The old fashioned is the most overrated cocktail. Whisky companies love to call it a “cocktail where the whisky cannot hide”, intimating that their whisky is such high quality, but hide is exactly what the whisky does – behind a numbing blanket of sweetness. Give me a Manhattan, any day.

Laura has been writing about watches for about 12 years. She writes for a variety of publications, including Brummell, on everything from the technical – how Patek Philippe was able to make a world time that can be set backwards – to the historical – why Breguet’s Type XX remains one of the most iconic pilot’s watches to date.

Q: What’s the first watch you ever owned, and what made it special?

A: It was a red Snoopy watch. It was manual wind and Snoopy’s hands were the hour and minute indicators. I am forever regretful I don’t still have it.

Q: What’s the one book, article or interview that changed the way you think?

A: I was going to say Joan Didion, but it’s a cliché. So I’ll be truthful and say John Fante’s Ask the Dust, although I haven’t read it for a long time.

Lucy is Brummell’s publisher and writes about travel, food and drink for the website in her time off.

Q: If you could only eat one cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be and where would you have it?

Q: What’s the best style advice you’ve ever received?

A: The best style advice I’ve ever received is to never underestimate the power of accessories. A simple outfit can go from good to great with the right finishing touches. It’s the details that make your look yours.

Former editor at luxury lifestyle group Quintessentially, Georgie has an interest in all things food and travel. She has written for publications such as Culture Trip, Atlas by Etihad and Food and Travel.

Q: What’s your most controversial food opinion?

A: Nine times out of 10, starters are far better than main courses. And I’d even go so far as to say the bread course is often better than the starters (current favourite: the tear and share loaf at Mauro Colagreco at Raffles at The OWO, which comes with a Pablo Neruda poem. Obviously.).
