ROADMAP Michael McDermott UNTIL THEN Our club dre
ams are on pause, beats in fields are on the back burner and the ‘summer of raves’ has yet to cross the Irish Sea, though we suspect it will. In the meantime, we reflect and take stock. Photographer Karl Magee has compiled Until Then, a photo book of club culture from parties and festivals he’s been at including Electric Picnic, Life, Body & Soul and clubs like Wigwam and Tengu.

On a sidenote, we’d still like a proper breakdown of the €2.6m running costs for Pieta House’s annual Darkness into Light fundraiser which were highlighted this summer. €10 plus delivery bitsdotunderscore.bigcartel.com/product/untilthen-photo-book WISH YOU WERE THERE? A summer of staycations means the foreign becomes even more exotic and tantalisingly beyond reach for us. It should, hopefully, make us appreciate travel and question how we frame its purpose and meaning. Whilst we do that, the allure of images from abroad will still whet our appetite for sunshine and shades. Greek fashion designer Mary Katrantzou’s new resort capsule collection Mary-Mare (we all know a few of these) is based on postage stamps and seashell prints emblazoned on natural fabrics such as cotton, linen and silk. You can shop the collection or send a digital card (£15) from hot vacay spots such as Portofino or the Côte d’Azur. shop.marykatrantzou.com Something seedy… lockdown has led to the greening of many fingers with access to a patch of ground or balcony in the city.
