    For a chef often credited with defining modern British cuisine, Fergus Henderson is modest beyond belief. “We obviously had some effect, which is a nice warm feeling,” he offers reluctantly about St. John, which has been coined Britain’s most influential restaurant.

    How to Be a Tastemaker

    A witty and elegantly curated lifestyle guide from the perspective of creative vanguards.

    Bringing together the opinions, attitudes, and achievements of contemporary culture’s most influential icons, How to Be a Tastemaker offers a glance into not only the work, but also the inner lives of individuals paving the way in their fields. Our hyper-connected society mocks conventional notions of taste, which is why Claudia Schiffer’s modelling advice or discovering Laila Gohar’s life-defining motto can have sizable cultural impacts.

    What is good taste, after all, but having the honesty to announce your ways of thinking and feeling? Through in-depth profiles, How to Be a Tastemaker opens up the world of industry-leaders to learn how they’ve made it to where they are—from major life-changing moments and big ideas, down to the books, playlists, and holiday destinations that have enriched their lives.
