God, it feels like years since the first whispers of Louis Vuitton’s make-up line emerged. The range, La Beauté Louis Vuitton, is set to land on 25th August with 55 lipsticks, 10 balms and eight eye shadow quads all creative directed by Pat McGrath.
Industry insiders are hoping for innovative formulas and an immersive retail experience to bring entry-point customers back to LV after a luxury slowdown – although prices are rumoured to be twice that of Hermès Beauty. (Remember their launch in 2020?) (more…)
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…)
Ok, she’s been on my radar since around 2014, but is Marie Marot on yours? She should be!
This shirt designer is her own best brand ambassador (wait, why isn’t she on Substack?!). Her personal taste is textbook gentlewoman style; in fact, I’m pretty sure she was on my Pinterest board for my book pitch. Think tailored crop pants, Jil Sander or Church’s lace-ups, Charvet socks and – of course – the most beautiful cotton shirts, worn buttoned or unbuttoned. (more…)
News just in: Smoking is – allegedly – cool again. Thanks to Cigfluencersand its ilk on Instagram, we’re being subjected to the great and glam of Hollywood and their smoking habits. From Paul Mescal and Natalie Portman sharing a fag break to Chloe Sevigny in Charli XCX’s ‘360’ video, the vibe is knowingly decadent and deviant. We’re all aware that smoking kills, stains your teeth and gives you foul breath. But those long white sticks drooping from a fingertip are indelibly linked in our brains as the height of old-school sophistication. I mean – Marlene Dietrich!
Onto the merch.
It’s not all about the cigarettes. The accompanying paraphernalia is just as coveted. Can we say vintage Elsa Peretti bean lighter? 1920s Van Cleef cigarette case? Hermès cigarette box? Adding to the appeal is the fact that these products are multi-use. An ashtray* can function as a trinket tray. A cigarette case can be a minaudière. It’s symbolic of more extravagant times, yet your Etsy cigarette box can store vitamins or mints, allowing you to channel your inner old money heiress from the comfort of your zone 3 rental. It’s a vibe and yes, I’m here for it.
