Street style: Lolita Jacobs



Lolita Jacobs by Asia Typek

Lolita Jacobs is one of my fave Insta follows for her curatorial eye, but her relatable personal style is great too. Jeans factor highly, in combination with cool, just-statement-enough pieces. Even guest modelling on a runway, she keeps her innate boyish spirit about her.

If you like her vibe, try to get your hands on L’Etiquette Femme – the French magazine that she fashion directs alongside her styling and art direction gigs for the likes of MaxMara and Gucci Beauty. (more…)

Gentlewoman style: Toteme time



Toteme AW24 fashion show

If Toteme is trying to be the affordable(ish) Row, it’s succeeding. Its stealth AW24 fashion show during couture week delivered lean trench coats and floor-sweeping trousers styled with the airiest of scarf-neck blouses, while its new Mount Street store is a shrine to tailoring, leatherwear, handbags (that T-lock!*) and jewellery as polished as its more expensive neighbours (but with much more welcoming sales staff) .
