The Bite Magazine - issue 16

o say it has been a trying few months for the UK with the fallout of the Brexit referendum leave vote and a change in people’s regard for each other, would be an understatement.With the resignation of David Cameron as Prime Minister and Teresa May set to take over the reins as the second woman of power in the UK, after Margaret Thatcher, can we truly remain confident in our leadership? Although we are not a political magazine, this very question must be running through many people’s minds. Let’s hope that as a nation we will be able to thrive in our independence from the European Union and that our future will be a bright one. Going onto a much happier note, we got the opportunity to discover more about sensational singer FKA Twigs whose status as actor Robert Pattinson’s fianceé seems to be getting more press than her actual singing and performance.We try to understand the thinking mind of KanyeWest who seems displeased all the time and discover why it took so long for his latest album to be released.We pay tribute to boxing legend Muhammad Ali who sadly passed away on 3 rd June this year with our reviews on both the gallery exhibition in Ladbroke Grove and the I AmThe Greatest exhibition at the O2 in North Greenwich. The amazing punk era pioneer VivienneWestwood is the subject of our major designer profile who is still going strong at the age of 75 and we also feature the forever sensational Kate Moss in our model profile. We get introduced to up-and-coming artist Daniel Warnecke whose amazing paintings and miniature figurines simply take our breaths away. Although, it wasn’t intentional, we ended up featuring two of the best vodkas on the market: Belvedere and New Amsterdam whose distinguished iconographies really stand out. Each one has its own unique story to tell and a wonderful collection of delicious cocktail ideas that I’m sure we will be trying out very soon. As always we bring you our reviews of the best restaurants in the city and beyond. In this issue, we had the privilege of enjoying the cuisine of TheWallace Restaurant in Marylebone and Mint Leaf in Haymarket which both provided amazing experiences. The legend of Coco Chanel is celebrated in the Chanel Catwalk:The Complete Karl Lagerfeld Collections which thanks to the creative director revived the dormant fashion house in 1983. Ford has revamped yet another one of their vintage models, presenting the all-new Ford GT whose forerunner, the GT40 made history on the racetrack from 1966 to 1969, while PayPal creator Elon Musk beat potential competition to produce the fully all- electric saloon Tesla Model S that has surprised some car enthusiasts but has also been received positively. With so much, much more packed into our summer 2016 issue, there will be plenty of content and images to keep you fully engaged.
