Sport meets street at Net-a-Sporter

Aaaaand here she is! The much-hyped Net-a-Sporter category has launched on Net-a-Porter and it has a pretty broad edit of product for the seriously sporty or the pretender who wants to look the part (guess which one I am?). Is it me or is the equestrian gear a little bit kinky? I’m all over those riding boots and prim ‘show shirts’. I’m also loving the primary-coloured one pieces from Lisa Marie Fernandez – the deep neckline and high cut legs are perfect.

1 Dior-Couture-aw14 main

As we all know, a decade doesn’t really hit its stride until it reaches its mid point, which is kind of where we’re at now – summer 2014.

Buy it now: the Aries boilersuit

Keep an eye on Aries, the newish brand by dream duo Sofia Prantera and Fergus Purcell – it’s growing. The idiosyncratic street-fashion label is now stocked by Matchesfashion, with an exclusive capsule collection of boilersuits landing in store today.

I can’t put my finger on what I like about Aries. I think it’s because it comes from an honest place, it’s completely their aesthetic and not too polished. (more…)

THE DRG STYLE INDEX: NIKE, HERMES, HARRODS, CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG, MARC BY MARC JACOBS

Here’s the latest weekly DRG STYLE INDEX ranking, a round-up of the brands currently buzzing on my radar…

1. NIKE’S NEW AIR MAX LUNAR1 IS HERE

Heads-up: Nike’s new Air Max Lunar1 trainer (£105) is here, an update on the original Air Max with new ultra-lightweight cushioning and mesh panels to make the cult shoe even more comfortable and flexible. I think they have done a great job adding in new technology while keeping the heritage good looks. (more…)
