Sweater girls at Hermès AW25

Hermes aw25 beauty

So many easy styling ideas to steal from Hermès AW25. There were a lot more skin-exposing looks than usual, but I still prefer the more ‘garconne’ vibe.

It’s all about the sweater-girl styling for me; a no-brainer to adopt without spending a cent. Firstly, double sweaters. I love this abbreviated take on an MA1 jacket (above), with the fine-gauge knits doubled around the waist. (Are the sweater sleeves threaded through the belt? What a great detail!) Next, the sweater-scarf styling around the neck. Clearly nothing new in itself, but it looks ultra-sophisticated when all in the same monotone. (more…)

Trend report: What to wear for AW24

Shops are back! Cash is cool! Corporate-core is a vibe! It’s like the 2020s never happened lol. Sweats, leggings and Crocs have been demoted and tailoring and tactile tops have regained their position in the corner office for AW24. And with the global slowdown of luxury, we’re also witnessing the demise of loud logos on clothes and accessories. Instead, discreet luxury totes whisper subtle brand codes (the Toteme ‘T’!) and it’s grocery stores and ‘hypebeast snacks’ that are the new entry-level status signifiers. Oh, and high-end lipstick is the eternal ‘affordable luxury’ treat for uncertain times. Because some things never change… (more…)

Trend report: what to wear for SS24

Bally SS24

Spring is properly here, so it’s off with the coats and on with the T-shirts. LOL April Fool! Alas no, it’s still pretty chilly in NW10, so my Spring trend report is leaning a little towards knits and waterproofs for another few weeks. But amongst the leather outerwear and aristo-inspired Barbours and barn jackets, there are skin-baring T-bar shoes, shiny, happy tinted lip oils and molto pops of primary colour (the Italians do it better).

Celine AW24: retro-modern minimalism plus a lipstick line

Celine Winter 24

Still a bit gutted that Hedi didn’t end up at Chanel. Ah well, Celine’s gain. Nothing crazy new to see here but his brand of retro-modernism for Winter 24 (just teased in a film) looks contemporary and cool – yet surprisingly un-grungy – in the way only Hedi’s can. (more…)
