Literary chic is a rising trend in fashion, highlighted by celebrity endorsements and novel-inspired accessories.
Originally known as Sneads Court on John Rocque's map of London in 1746, the area was wider and more of a courtyard than an alley. Over time, it was renamed Hertford Place and later Yarmouth Mews as the neighborhood evolved into larger hotels and grand houses.
An engagement ring is more than a piece of jewellery, it is a symbol of commitment. Couples are moving away from mass‑produced designs, preferring rings that capture their unique journey.
"The name is a paradox. They never functioned as a collective," says Kaat Debo, MoMu's director. "Some of them still describe that label as a blessing and a curse. But they were friends."
"They're everyday professionals who simply don't have the time to shop the traditional way," said Kneen about J. Hilburn customers. Instead, stylists manage fit, fabrics and wardrobe planning, effectively outsourcing the entire process for busy professionals.
The Rolex Lady-Datejust is an exceptional timepiece that sets the gold standard for women's luxury watches, renowned for its timeless design, unmistakable prestige, and mechanical precision.
She was an incredible actress, very powerful. She wasn't frightened. She always went for the risky things in life. This fearless pursuit of risk was manifested in the collection's striking pieces, where dresses featured rough, open seams that twisted and draped unpredictably, creating an intimate yet anarchic fall wardrobe.
Fifteen years after the death of Lee McQueen, the brand is struggling to maintain momentum. The founder is a hallowed name in the fashion industry, and one of the few modern designers to whose character and story the wider public feel a connection.

Rosie's Naked Shoes: Stepping out of her hotel, Huntington-Whiteley donned a pair of barely-there black leather pumps with transparent mesh fabric, adding a sheer contrast to her covered yet avant-garde look. She tucked a skin-tight black turtleneck sweater under a pair of brown suede trousers, featuring an asymmetrical low-rise waistline and a long halter-like drawstring that wrapped around her neck.
That past is his - it is the 20th anniversary of his label, and accordingly he decided to embrace, engage, even embed himself in his own history. Which, in and of itself, is a history of histories - Moralıoğlu's office is peppered with random 1930s portraits (the ones his husband, the architect Philip Joseph, won't let him keep in their Bloomsbury home) and old, time-warped issues of Vogue, as well as overflows of books on everything from Merce Cunningham to Alfred Hitchcock.
I first visited The Fall Bride for my best friend's first wedding dress appointment, and immediately fell in love with the space. Squirrelled away in the Dalston backstreets, this bright, soothing store is the ultimate go-to for brides looking for elegant, hand-picked dresses from a series of world-renowned designers. So, as soon as I got engaged, I booked an appointment for myself - and it didn't disappoint the second time round.
Looking back at 'em through rose-tinted glasses, the 2010s seemed like they were a much better time. London hosted the Olympics, Sherlock was on the telly, and everyone was wearing Joni jeans and tea dresses from Topshop. Could things be returning to the simpler days when all you had to worry about was how tight your skinny jeans were and how to get the perfect side parting? Maybe, because Topshop is making a comeback to British high streets.
Choosing a particular model does not necessarily mean focusing on excessive colour, but rather knowing how to identify the lines and volumes that communicate a precise aesthetic vision that breaks with convention. This process requires a certain awareness of materials and proportions, as a shoe with a strong design has the ability to transform even the simplest outfit into a sophisticated and modern style statement.
