Cultural Catalysts is our series amplifying creative stories and journeys from across the globe. This month we spoke to Botswana-based designer Peter Mabeo about what drives him, from finding influences in expansive environments, to the limitations of the obsession with doing one’s best work. “The idea of finding inspiration and sticking with it towards concept realisation has a kind of static sense to it,” says Mabeo on his process. “Ideas are a reaction to surroundings and to experience that I interpret.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eJG_Q4jE

The Business of Fashion 500 Gala has become a staple on the Paris Fashion Week party circuit in Paris, held at the Shangri-La where crowds gather outside to catch a glimpse of red carpet arrivals. We worked with BoF to ensure that the focus also remains on The BoF 500 itself; an important moment for the business within the year that represents their values of inclusiveness and championing emerging talent within the industry. While achieving media cut-through during a busy fashion week, stories also focussed on new entrants to the index, resulting in global coverage for BoF. In The New York Times, Imran Amed says of the event, “people get to meet the people they’ve admired from afar, people get to meet people they don’t know, people get to reconnect with old friends they haven’t seen.” 🖋 Liam Johnson Guests hailed from over 35 countries from across the world.

As Singapore Design Week 26 September - 6 October (DesignSingapore Council) approaches, multi-award winning architect, Leonard Ng speaks to Financial Times on how he used his work helping Singapore become a garden city and how this translates into the design of his home space. “Nature is inherently beautiful,” he says. “Nature doesn’t require design, and the best we can do is learn from it. But even if we can only produce a poor facsimile of nature, how do we do that in an authentic and faithful manner? That’s what I strive to do as a designer.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ekACw3yB

“Why hadn’t anybody built a brand around university nostalgia? We figured out quickly that it’s easy to say and hard to do – which is actually a great recipe for a new business” – Graduate Hotels’ Ben Weprin on Wondery How I Built This with Guy Raz. 🔊 Weprin talks about how he decided to take people’s best college memories and spin them into a new business. “Our motto is ‘we are all students’ the idea that we continue to learn and evolve and you never really graduate.” Listen now: https://lnkd.in/e28k53VF

Genevieve has lived in London for 26 years. “I never get tired of what this amazing city has to offer. The ever-evolving galleries, libraries, independent shops, restaurants and bars. London can be exhilarating, inspiring and surprising. The size and sprawl of London means it can also be very tiring and a little overwhelming, particularly when trying to cover so much ground during London Design Festival.” Read the full guide which includes Maison Assouline, Toklas, 180 Studios and more https://lnkd.in/evWUsZpZ
