Timelessly designed, endlessly elegant and infinitely beautiful—the forth annual sets the stage on any coffee table from it's cover to content.

Greeted by the edgy nouveau styling of the Black Wraith—Roll-Royce answer to combating our traditional view of one of Britain’s most famous marques and defining the 4th Accouter Annual’s theme of challenging conventions. Featuring another 216 pages of heavyweight uncoated stock, sandwiched between a new Wicotex Brillianta case bound cover and foil detailing with pale grey Colorplan end sheets.

Features for the annual included the secluded luxury port retreats of the world and the glass moulded collections of Alexa Lixfield and Anna Torfs. Bizarre and unusual dining establishments like the gastronomic theatricality of Sublimotion, the delights of Disfrutar, and exquisite craft of insouciant sushi virtuoso Masa. Editorial covering the obtuse investments of digital currency and graffiti art. As well as an all new calendar of the key social events of the year to follow.

For the first time featuring two shoots from Accouter regular Alex James; two polar ends of the spectrum. Elena M (Body London) dressed in white attire and bathed in the projected scenes and video of clouds and skylines in the attic loft of London’s down town. Contrasted by Maddie Seisay (Lenis Models) drenched in smothering shadow, glittering golden jewellery and bejewelled silver necklaces from William & Son’s silversmiths.
