Creativity rarely keeps office hours. The best ideas often arrive late at night, in the quiet moments after a show, after a conversation, after the world has slowed down. It’s this belief that sits at the heart of Hourglass Cosmetics’ After Hours campaign, fronted by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Olivia Dean.

Long celebrated for her distinctive approach to both music and style, Dean has become known for beauty looks that are as recognisable as her sound. As the face of After...

Miista is rethinking the rules of nightlife, pushing hosting beyond excess and into intention. For their latest collection launch, the footwear pioneers transformed the party into something more meaningful: a space where pleasure and purpose coexist. 

Forget the next-day hangover. Guests at Miista’s SS26 celebration left not only with memories but with a more sustainable wardrobe. Hosted at TEG (The Evans Group) in Los Angeles, an ethical clothing factory by day, the venue was reimagined for the night as a hybrid rave and repair hub.

In a subversive take on the traditional cloakroom,...

For a brief moment in March, a new fashion label appeared in London. Presented inside an elegant townhouse setting, Kim Parr arrived with the quiet confidence of a contemporary premium brand. Clean rails of spring womenswear, softened tailoring and linen separates suggested something considered and directional. Visitors moved through the space as they would any emerging label launch, assessing fabric, silhouette and finish on instinct alone.

Only later did the reveal come....

The Temporal Transmitter is a radio-like device that tunes into broadcasts from possible climate futures between 2030 and 2100. It’s controlled via two dials: time and temperature, to navigate scenarios grounded in real climate projections, from societal collapse to recovery and transition. By making the consequences of present choices audible, it asks whether empathy for the future could become the catalyst for change that data and projections have...

Travel has always sat quietly at the edge of Oliver Spencer, in the way the brand approaches clothing as well. Pieces designed to move and be lived in. To carry a sense of ease from one place to the next. Its latest collaboration makes that connection explicit. 

Launching on 21 March, a new weekender bag, created with Secret Trips, steps into that space. Understated, practical, and built with longevity in mind. The...

As the curtain fell on London Fashion Week, one standout hair trend emerged on Sinead Gorey’s Autumn/Winter showrunways, the slicked-back, noughties braid. It’s less front row glamour and more back room of the pub at midnight. It perfectly captured that insouciant pub cool girl energy.

Gorey’s A/W collection paid homage to the spirit of a night at the pub, nostalgic and deliberately undone. The hair mirrored that mood. Models wore ultra slick, glass like roots pulled tightly away from the face, flowing into a...

For their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the Paris-based house returns to its origin. Titled The Source, the collection begins from a place that feels almost radical in its simplicity. The garment as necessity and acting as a wearable source of armour.

Garments moved through the galleries alongside the objects that informed them, connecting the past, present and future of Scottish fashion.

The garden formed the core of the collection’s narrative. Across cultures and periods,...

Collaborations between H&M and Stella McCartney have historically centred on product. Capsule collections, material innovation and access have shaped the partnership’s public face for years.

There has always been a certain looseness to Wax London. Even at its most structured, the brand resists rigidity, favouring texture, movement and a sense of familiarity. For Spring Summer 2026, that instinct turns towards tailoring. 

The collection builds on a simple idea. The suit no longer belongs exclusively to formal moments. Instead, it moves through the day, adapting itself to changing contexts without losing its presence. Wax London approaches this shift...

Since its founding in 2016, Polène has built its reputation through restraint. Sculptural bags shaped in its Paris studio and realised by artisans in Ubrique established a language that feels recognisable without being loud.

Released on 4 March, the annual magazine is conceived less as a catalogue than as a reflection on time, craft and observation....

There are certain names that live in the bloodstream of British fashion. And then there is Topshop – a brand that didn’t just sell clothes, it soundtracked our coming of age. Oxford Circus on a Saturday, Kate Moss in a waistcoat, a queue that felt like a rite of passage. 

Now, in a move that feels both nostalgic and radically forward, Topshop launches an 18-piece capsule collection with award-winning British-Nigerian designer Tolu Coker – and it...

“What makes you confident?” isn’t posed lightly. For SS26, Tone Deaf builds an entire collection around it. Founded by Mustafa Ahmed in 2024, the label has steadily shaped a language rooted in craft and restraint. This season marks a shift.

Travel becomes a state of mind in SIGHTSEEING, Samsøe Samsøe’s Spring Summer 2026 campaign. Set in Belgrade and defined by motion and curiosity, the imagery reflects a season built around layering, versatility, and the freedom to move through space on one’s own terms.

Shot by Phillip Paulus, the campaign unfolds around one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, the Avala Tower. Its sharp geometry and sweeping views act as both setting and structure, echoing the clarity and restraint that define the SS26 collection. Here, architecture becomes a quiet collaborator, grounding the imagery while allowing the clothes...

Since Gabrielle Chanel first introduced cosmetics in the 1920s, beauty at Chanel has never been about excess.

The 16th edition, held from October 16-19, 2025, wasn’t just a platform; it was a potent symbol of responsibility, cultural depth, and self-confident boutique identity.

On the 25th of September, New York was baptised in cobalt as the house unveiled Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif, its latest olfactory weapon. The venue? Le Jardin Sur Maison. A space so exquisite it made the Empire State Building blush. Yes, its famous lights glowed blue. Subtle, right?

Alfred d’Orsay confirmed his deep devotion for his muse Marguerite of Blessington in 1830 by crafting a unique fragrance the two could share.

The Outsiders Perspective

Despite its reputation for creativity and progressive cultural influence, the fashion industry has long struggled with diversity in positions of power. Leadership roles within major luxury fashion houses continue to be disproportionately occupied by white, heterosexual men, while LGBTQIA+ individuals are frequently relegated to highly visible but often tokenistic creative positions, including design, visual merchandising, public relations and communications. This imbalance is particularly striking given that women represent over 80% of fashion professionals and students and almost...

Following the global launch of the fourth-generation Seamaster Planet Ocean in 2025, the Swiss watchmaker brought its campaign to the capital with an immersive...

CHANEL has never used make-up as a mask, it touches the skin like weather, sunshine hitting the skin on a spring day. For the 2026 Met Gala, their approach was no different. The 2026 theme, “Fashion Is Art”  created a brief where every designer was expected to treat their  muses like artwork. However, with CHANEL beauty, each make-up artist works less like a painter and more light a lighting designer for skin. CHANEL’s approach is not about correction or coverage, it is about...

Just in time for Earth Day, Bond No. 9 introduces Tuxedo Park, a scent that subverts obvious opulence for something fresher…cultivated glamour. Inspired by the storied enclave in New York’s Ramapo Mountains, the fragrance captures a world where Gilded Age elegance softened into woodland air and luxury was measured in landscape as much as lineage.

Founded in 1885 as a private retreat for America’s elite, Tuxedo Park has long existed as the...

At a capacity of 16OZ (or around half a litre) and with Stanley’s traditional double vacuum insulation, the...

For Nike, innovation has rarely been about standing still. Across decades, the brand has built its language through performance, but just as often through the way that performance is translated visually.

As a very guilty culprit myself, whether it’s a quick blow-dry of the fringe, straightening the face-framing bits, or just flicking the ends without any heat protection, I inevitably see the consequences: split ends, dryness, and unwanted frizz, all undermining the healthy, natural waves I so deeply desire.

I know I can’t be the only one. Thankfully, for me and my fellow reckless heat-protection avoiders, rescue has...

Autumn Winter 2026, Daniel Fletcher’s third runway outing for the house, unfolded as a quiet meditation on movement. A lone figure wanders, gathering fragments of a new life along the riverbed. Wild flowers surface where you might not expect them. Objects become anchors. The wardrobe builds slowly, shaped by encounter.

It mirrors the brand’s own reality. Mithridate, founded in Guangzhou, now finds itself firmly rooted in...
