As the Editor-in-Chief of No Chaser Magazine, I’ve always believed that style has the unique power to unite us across borders, cultures, and backgrounds. Our annual event, SESSION, encapsulates that ethos—bringing together like-minded individuals from around the world who understand that true style is about connection, not division. This year’s SESSION (three) was no exception. Held at the breathtaking Tenuta D’arbia, nearly 90 minutes outside the bustling heart of Florence, the event offered an unforgettable evening dedicated to celebrating our shared passion for style and culture.
What made this year’s gathering even more special was the mystery that surrounded it. Guests arrived with no clear idea of where they were headed, trusting us implicitly to guide them toward a memorable experience. That trust is at the core of the No Chaser philosophy: an openness to the unknown, a willingness to let go and immerse oneself in the moment. When they arrived at Tenuta D’arbia, greeted by the rolling hills of Tuscany, the beauty of the setting set the tone for an evening of discovery, dialogue, and celebration.
This year, we also had the privilege of partnering with The Co-Op Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing young talent in the fashion industry. Together, we made it possible for two budding fashion students to join us in Florence and Milan for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Their presence at SESSION (three) was a reminder that while style is a form of self-expression, it is also a form of mentorship, a way to pass on passion and knowledge to the next generation. These students had the chance to engage with fashion insiders whose passions aligned with their own, forging connections that will shape their careers and perspectives.
We would like to extend our deepest thanks to all our sponsors (Lawrenzo K Custom Clothier, Mokief, Hat of Cain, Jabs, Pineider, Hubbard Clothing Co., La Tigre, Athens Bespoke, Samuelsohn, Ascot’s Father, St Johns Fragrance, without whom this event would not have been possible. A special thank you to Style by Sarai, our partner for SESSION (three), Darryl Lesure, who was the driving force in getting the students to Italy, and to the incredible photographers Kateryna Komar and Kristina Tochilko, who captured the essence of the night so beautifully.
As we look ahead to SESSION (four), I am reminded of why we do this each year. Style is not just about what we wear—it’s about how we connect. It’s about focusing on what unites us, not what divides us. We can’t wait to see what next year brings.
