A quick update of two new loafers on my radar.
These snake print Pierre Hardy ‘Hardy’ loafers (below) are from the winter collection, so not out for a while. A shame as I love loafers in summer and I’m a bit bored of my Bass Weejuns. (more…)
If you had to limit yourself to only one beauty thingy, what would it be?
Mine would be a pot or stick of something shiny.
Any sheer, illuminating balm works for me – to go on lids, lips, cheekbones, inner corners of the eye.

Noisy Huda-style make-up this is not! But it is timeless and investment-worthy, with lush, blendable textures. (more…)
Ami Paris is going large on womenswear. For SS20, the French menswear brand just showed a full women’s collection as part of a co-ed runway show in Milan and according to BoF, womenswear actually informed the men’s design for the season too.

Heads up! There’s a trendy new buzzword in town. Forget diversity, authenticity and sustainability; ‘positivity’ neatly encapsulates all three and can be moulded at will to suit the subject.

Now in its 28th year, something felt different this time – it seemed buzzier, less scrappy and had the ego boost of support from industry heavyweights including LVMH and Farfetch. (more…)
