It’s been another busy week in fashion. We started off the week at the tail-end of Salone del Mobile in Milan, and news that France will be cracking down on fast fashion brands.

With all this in mind, there’s still plenty that’s slipped through the cracks in terms of collection launches, capsule c ..read more

Originally released in 1950, adidas’ Samba sneakers were designed to provide grip and stability for every sportsman. There’s a glacial history behind the famed shoe: a German team donned a revolutionary shoe designed to withstand icy and snowy pitches. This earlier iteration featured an outsole with three cut-out suction cups, providing players with enhanced traction and grip in footing. In 2014, the Samba pack was popularised by the Brazil world cup match in customary yellow and green. (Which, min ..read more

But all that changed when CHANEL Beauty came calling: a week-long journey through Paris to Biarritz and on to Gaujacq, a small town in South West France where the House have established an open-sky laboratory. Special barely begins to cover it, but I’ll do my best to recount a week in France with CHANEL beauty below.   PARIS   I landed in Paris on the Friday evening. I think it’s my sixth time ..read more

Since the 1950s, bubble skirts have been a fad in fashion – with special thanks to designs from Pierre Cardin and Hubert Givenchy at the time. Its full skirt and diaphanous silhouette made it a popular choice even then for evening and cocktail wear – a trend that has extended well into 2024 now, with plenty of designers like Miu Miu and internet style influencers donning the garment paired with sleek tops and moto jackets, biker boots and sneakers. They had their moment in the sun once again in the 1980s, and of course, made an appearance in the 2000s though the skater skirt trend. But now we ..read more
