If Max Chilton were a chocolate bar, he’d be Dairy Milk. He is smooth and silky and swaddled in the glossypurple lining of a Ralph Lauren suit. Dairy Milk also happens to be his greatest luxury, the one thing he would take with him to a desert island. ‘Though there’d have to be a fridge, he says, deadpan. ‘I wouldn’t want a melted one.’

At London’s exciting new House of Illustration for a limited period is an exhibition displaying the work of McCauley (Mac) Conner, an illustrator from the golden era of advertising and Mad Men, when Manhattan was the world’s media capital. Mac Conner : A New York Life offers a tantalizing glimpse into a world of cocktails, sky scrapers, Cadillacs, made-to-measure suits, Trilby hats and cut-to-the-chase slogans, all of which created a heady mix of fashion and glamour that became a byword for success. Now a spritely 101, Mac is testament to the fact that life in the fast lane never did him any harm and the show includes a film of Mac – still drawing and painting – talking about his life and work. Over 70 of Mac’s original artworks are on display, capturing a vision of America during a thriving, post-war period, reflected in its glossy, positive, upbeat commercial campaigns. These are works that metro lovers of fifties nostalgia will covet, as collectible and desirable as vinyl or a retro watch.

Marbella was once an unspoilt paradise for the jet-set until apartment blocks and retail outlets began tobesmirch the coastline. Soon valleys were brutally truncated by highways and citrus groves bulldozed to make way for golf courses. The princes, movie stars, playboys and plutocrats left and the footballers, bank robbersand package tourists swarmed in. Puerto Banus, built in 1970 and intended to be a marina to rival San Tropez,is now little more than Big-Brands-on-Sea where African merchants hawk their tawdry fake accessories to the crowds.

‘I strongly recommend making reservations,’ says Lady Rotherwick, hostess of the Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire, which runs from the 6-9th of August. ‘Reservations?’ If I recall, the whole point of music festivals is to get there (sober) and at some point - a few days later, who knows how you did it? - get back. But reservations? Indeed, if you troll through the Wilderness website, you could easily wonder whether you’vestumbled onto the Salzburg Music Festival. Holland Park Opera? Wellbeing? Talk tents? Ottolenghi?

Long regarded as a glorified retirement village for British pensioners or a stopping off point for stag, hen and – apparently, it’s a thing – ‘hag’ parties en route to Horrormelinos and beyond, Málaga is fighting back. And it’s using culture to do it.

“Every now and again, even in a man’s world, fashion marries form and function to create something unique, and very weird. Take the kilt as a case in point, and then take the Goggle Jacket. Do not, on any account, put the two together.“

“Trying to explain Black Sky Thinking is harder than it sounds. It’s actually my first question to Rachel Armstrong, a former GP and current senior lecturer in architecture and design at Greenwich University, who is so passionate about thought and science and nature and everything good on this earth that I think she finds it hard to distill it into the snappy ten-word sentence I’m after. Maybe Black Sky Thinking is too complicated to be summarised so simply.“
