“Elevated basics” is an oft-used phrase in fashion—perhaps too often—but such a description is really what 6397 does best.

There’s a big difference between empty fatigue and gratifying exhaustion. Life is too short not to focus more on what matters most. Before you know it you will be asking, “How did it get so late so soon?” Perhaps you can already relate. So take time to reflect. Take time to realize what you want and need in the days and weeks ahead. Take time to take calculated risks. Take time to love, laugh, learn, cry, and forgive. Life is so much shorter than it often seems. In our line of work we speak with people on a daily basis…

Conceived as a multi-level energy station powered by what founder J.J. Martin calls ‘the power of light,’ the Lighthouse invites devotees into an ecosystem where enlightenment and consumption are presented as perfectly compatible companions. On the top floor, restorative sound…

“Only when we realize that our time is limited do we begin to appreciate the value of every single day.” ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross I didn’t expect the trip to begin the way it did. In December 2003, I decided to take a holiday over Christmas. I booked an eco-tour of Sri Lanka, traveling around the country and staying in different locations. It was something I had been looking forward to for a long time. But during the flight on Christmas Eve, I started to feel unwell. At first, I thought it was just a stomach issue.

In my own wardrobe, and especially with a household of young boys, these are the items I reach for most during summer.My styling approach is all about contrast—think vintage jerseys worn with denim cut-offs, oversized track jackets layered over slip dresses, and track pants or shorts thrown over a bikini after a day at the beach. I’ve…
