The City Magazine
January arrives like an unwelcome visitor after the festivities of the previous month. A somewhat sharp shock following the excesses of New Year’s Eve, the return to the office can be a tough ask for even the most committed of workers, and those long dark months from January to March always feel like a bit of an ordeal. Still, onward and upward... And there will be plenty to look forward to this year – World Cup anyone? Oh, wait... I said look forward to.... Well, there will be numerous other sporting diversions to amuse and distract. Andy Murray will defend his Wimbledon title – likely to be gripping stuff – while the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will see Sir Chris Hoy attempt to compete one last time for gold on home soil before his rumoured retirement. It’s the stuff great headlines are made of. Elsewhere, in the business world, reports of an economic upturn mean good things for UK banks (p. 76) while the opening of American Psycho the musical in Islington should provide a rather humorous look at life (and death) in the rat race, (p. 24). We are honoured this month to feature Pierce Brosnan as our cover star. His exclusive shoot for Hackett with renowned photographer Terry O’Neill has produced a series of striking images, which capture not only Brosnan’s warmth and style, but his charisma and playful side too (p. 12). Our fashion shoot provides inspiration for stylish winter woollens to keep out the cold (p. 40) and Ben Fogle reminds us that, however hard that morning commute might be, it’s nothing compared to walking across cracking crevasse fields, with a mile-long drop beneath you (p. 19). Terrifying stuff.
