I like the sound of this ‘closed loop’ T-shirt company that works on a subscription model – with a difference.

I don’t know what I love more – Dior’s fantastical Cruise 2019 Toile de Jouy coats or Jamie Stoker’s fantastic backstage pictures. He has become one of my favourite fashion week photographers, delicately capturing the proceedings on analogue film.
The show took place in Chantilly (more…)
