Theo James Means Business in Church's Campaign
LONDON — Theo James is back with Church's for another campaign in his recurring role as an English gentleman. This time, the British actor means business as he moves around an Oxfordshire manor.

Did Trump's Latest Tariff Move Give Shoe Shoppers A Holiday Reprieve? The campaign is titled 'A Day in the Life,' with James in his silk pajamas and robe as he enjoys a cup of tea with a pair of boots on. It's an oddly eccentric image that feels naturally English. In another shot, the actor is in a suit and tie with a paper airplane in his hand resting his sleek black boots on a wooden desk. James roams around the manor on a bike and then rests up in bed with pages of a newspaper around him — all while wearing a selection of smart Church's shoes. The role of an English gentleman is nothing new to James. He's the star of Netflix's 'The Gentlemen,' playing Edward 'Eddie' Horniman, the new 10th Duke of Halstead, who overnight goes from being a United Nations peacekeeping officer to a duke to a gentleman gangster, swapping his camouflage uniform and plaid shirts for fisherman jackets, car coats and sharp smoking suits. The busy actor has been getting busier as of late as he recently partnered with Ed Templeton, cofounder of Carousel on Charlotte Street, to open Lupa, a Roman-style neighborhood restaurant in Highbury. James and Templeton have enlisted a helping hand in the kitchen from chef Naz Hassan, a former head chef at Pidgin in Hackney.

This week in 1967: The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Although their previous studio album, Revolver, is now the more acclaimed, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is arguably The Beatles' most famous work and the one that had the most influence on the music and society of its time. It had no track breaks, a message in the run-off groove and was developed loosely from Paul McCartney's concept of an album by a fictitious band. The lyrics were printed on a lavish gatefold sleeve, with its famous front cover by Peter Blake, reflecting the tenor of the time and opening doors of both perception and excess. Having retired from touring, the band was free to use the recording studio to the ultimate, with no time or financial restrictions and limited only by their own creativity. From the suite-like 'A Day In The Life', with that long thunderous chord coaxed from a bewildered orchestra, to the alleged-and-denied drug references in 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds', the beautiful 'She's Leaving Home', the sentimentality of 'When I'm Sixty Four' and George Harrison's mystical wig-out 'Within You Without You', it sparked argument and amazement in equal measure. Originally, the album was to include 'Penny Lane' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever', but that didn't stop it from becoming a benchmark; the term 'their Sgt Pepper' later applied across the board to any band's supreme lifetime achievement.
