'You Don't Need More Talent. You Need More Rejection' Says Jason Arasheben
Before he was designing championship rings, custom pieces for A$AP Rocky and Michael Jackson, or building one of the most influential jewellery houses in America, Jason Arasheben was a law student walking into nail salons with a bag of hair accessories, hoping someone would say yes. Most didn't. It didn't matter. For the man now known as Jason of Beverly Hills, rejection became the foundation of everything that followed. In conversation with Roe, he discusses immigration, ent


The Odyssey Is a Film Where Poor People Literally See Less.
The Odyssey has been everywhere over the past few weeks. On every feed, in every group conversation, and somewhere in the middle of all that noise, I found myself thinking about something I'd genuinely never considered before about cinema. Not about the story, but about its format. Nolan shot the whole thing on IMAX 70mm, a first for a feature film. That's obviously historic and impressive, except the way he intended you to see it exists in only 41 theatres on the entire plan


We've Replaced Dating With Endless Messaging.
I met this guy. A lovely guy. The sort of guy you start imagining a future with. He's charming, funny, kind, caring... the list goes on. And from my perspective, it would seem as though the interest is mutual. He initiated plans for our first holiday together, extended the invitation for me to meet his family, and has even expressed how much he likes my mother. On paper, you might conclude that perhaps we're dating. Maybe even in a healthy relationship. You and I would both b


The Older Women Get, the Younger They're Expected to Look.
The fashion and wellness habits of 2000s magazines are back in force, pressuring women to be unnaturally thin and to use Botox to battle the visible signs of ageing. These standards have reappeared after almost a decade of the industry becoming more inclusive and kinder to both models and consumers. So why are intelligent and successful women now going to such lengths to look much younger than they are, and can something be done about it? Comedian Nikki Glaser, 42, makes a po


Ronnie's: Fashion Doesn't Need Another Perfume. It Needs a Great Sandwich.
When Ronnie Fieg took a job at his local shoe shop, David Z, at the tender age of 13, he already had a plan: he knew that some of the greatest visionaries succeed through passion, persistence, and creative impetus, but also by starting early. It was the 90s, a different time. Pre-internet, pre-influencer era. In New York, David Z was the place to be for sneakerheads, a place where the cultural mix was a genuine convergence of fashion, artists and everyday shoppers. A time whe


The Clean Girl Era Didn’t Empower Women. It Gave Us Another Standard to Fail.
The image of Hailey Bieber smoking in Interview Magazine has been analysed by numerous publications. But to understand what it really means, a feminist lens is necessary. Is smoking back? Is the queen of the clean girl aesthetic promoting this seemingly off-brand habit? The moment captured is not about her potentially having a secret nicotine habit. It represents something much deeper. The problem with our culture today is that we don’t care about how women are feeling. The o


Maybe Gen Z Isn’t Bad at Love. Maybe Everyone Before Us Just Settled.
New York Times bestselling author, philosopher and social critic Bell Hooks explores the notion of love in her 2001 book 'All About Love: New Visions'. Succinctly, she states that “love saves us only if we want to be saved”. For many children, their first introduction to the idea of romantic love is through film and television. When we’ve watched endless Disney princesses find their Prince Charming, is it really our fault that we may hold unrealistic expectations for love? Me


Gen Z Has Replaced Night Club With a Wellness Club.
It seems as though every launch or gathering now comes with a wellness twist; Pilates pop-ups, matcha tastings, daytime DJ sets. So when did late-night bar hopping give way to sober raves? For Gen Z and millennials, “going out” no longer has to mean staying out. Fitness and wellbeing have evolved from solo pursuits into social rituals, with Pilates replacing pre-drinks and coffee raves standing in for late-night dance floors. Alcohol is swapped for coffee, matcha and non-alc


Your Dream Life Isn’t Yours Anymore. Social Media Is Rewriting Your Ambitions.
When you were a kid and someone asked what your dream job was, you probably gave the simplest answers: “teacher”, “doctor”, or “vet”. As children, we had a very two-dimensional view of our dreams and aspirations. So you can imagine my surprise when I recently asked my nephews what their dream jobs would be, and the five and seven-year-olds both responded with, “YouTuber!” It wasn’t the answer itself that surprised me. Being a YouTuber has proven to be a successful career path
