PARIS FASHION WEEK MEN’S
WHERE? Paris, France
WHEN? January 17 – 21
Pitti peacocks take note. There is no judgement cast
here. Street style photographers will be kept busy as
dandies from around the world show up in Paris to
strut their own style and also get up close with the new
collections of some of the world’s biggest labels and
independent sartorial craftsmen.
5
AUSTRALIAN OPEN
WHERE? Melbourne, Australia
WHEN? January 15-28
Roger Federer is the reigning champion of the
Australian Open. But the one who you should punt on
Novak Djokovic. The Serbian has won six of the last 10
Australian Opens and he looks set to return to his
winning streak in 2018. There’s a great deal of
speculation on whether Serena Williams will make her
tennis comeback this month – a pregnant Williams won
the Australian Open last year, becoming a 23-time
Grand Slam Champion. We’ll wait and see.
7
SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
WHERE? Park City, USA
WHEN? January 18 – 28
With the Weinstein scandal looming large, film
festivals and award ceremonies towards the end of
2017 and 2018 are expectedly muted. However,
expect Sundance to make some noise – in a good
way. From indie, noir to borderline mainstream,
there are several films that will be showcased at one
of the most high-profile film festivals of the year.
8
WHERE? Davos, Switzerland
WHEN? January 23 – 26
WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
There’s a good reason that the neologism
“Davos Man” has taken root in popular
culture. Wealthy businessmen, world
leaders and the 0.1 of the 0.1 financial
elite will show up at the alpine ski resort in
Davos in January to discuss, dissect
and commit to economic policies that
will impact the lives of hundreds of
millions, if not billions of people. The
key theme of the big debate at Davos
this year is “Responsive and Responsible
Leadership”
