January 09, 2022 at 06:30AM There are a few purchases that likely will always stand out in your memory: the first CD you ever bought (humblebrag, mine was The Most Beautiful Girl in the World by Prince), the first designer bag you acquire, and, perhaps, your wedding dress. For me, however, one of my fondest retail memories centres on something else: a candle. But not just any candle, a Diptyque candle. It was 2011. I was 21 and had just moved to London to start my career in fashion. I was a junior assistant at Look magazine working at the fashion desk, and I couldn’t have been more excited. The first month passed in a blur, and when I woke to discover my pay had landed in my bank account, I hopped straight on the Tube and went to the fanciest shop I could: Liberty. Determined to treat myself…

January 09, 2022 at 06:30AM As a beauty editor whose job it is to test out a lot of beauty products, it’s fair to say that I have gone through a somewhat shameful amount of skincare in my time. As I am sure you can imagine, getting sent all the latest and greatest skincare products free of charge opens up a world of opportunities for my skin. It means that whenever my skin is feeling a certain way, whether it be stressed, dry or breaking out beyond belief, I usually have the best product for its exact need somewhere in my stash. But after nearly seven years in this job and very rarely buying beauty products, this year, I’m vowing to make a change. No, I’m not quitting my job, but rather, I’m going to start buying my own skincare products again. Why, you ask? Because the truth is…

January 09, 2022 at 06:06AM The past few years have been an odd time for fashion, but it’s during this period that we have acquired newfound respect for the comforting clothes that were often overlooked in our wardrobes. Joggers are one such item, as are leggings, but if there’s one piece that has sparked joy and brought literal warmth into our lives these last few seasons, it’s knitwear.Hero knits are nothing new. We’ve seen everything from Kenzo’s tiger-embroidered sweaters to Khaite’s cashmere bradigan reach their respective cult statuses almost a decade apart, but right now, the demand for designer knitwear is at an all-time high. In 2020, shopping app Lyst reported a spike in searches for knitwear—a rise of 32% year on year. Fast-forward to this very moment, where we find ourselves in the depths of winter, and designer knitwear is proving to be a hot-ticket item amongst those…

January 09, 2022 at 06:01AM As the saying (kind of) goes, new year, new Kendall Jenner outfits. We aren’t even a week in, and Jenner’s 2022 style has already left us with much to aspire to. For her latest look, she seemingly looked backward, as it’s an outfit trend that has been cool for years and will continue to be. It’s one you’ve seen time and again and have probably even worn yourself. Jenner’s timeless look consisted of an oversize blazer over a white T-shirt, straight-leg jeans, and block-heel ankle boots. For a cool twist, she layered a white button-down shirt (unbuttoned) over the tee. The look is decidedly French-girl chic (especially since the blazer is from favourite French brand Sandro) and would look just as appropriate on the streets of Paris as the streets of London. Scroll on to shop the pieces needed to re-create Jenner’s polished…

January 09, 2022 at 06:00AM You might instinctively dismiss designer logo tights as fashion folly, or they may be right there at the top of your wish list. We get it, they’re a divisive item, but today we’re here to argue in their defense. Because it’s been almost two years since Chanel debuted their now-ubiquitous CC tights on the catwalk and we’re still obsessed with them. Statement hosiery has been a part of Alessandro Michelle’s signature layered looks at Gucci since the early days of his reign as creative director. What we’re saying is this ‘trend’ has some serious legs— pun intended. The latest incarnation sweeping across fashion circles is Gucci’s GG monogram tights and we have to say we can’t help but be here for it. Tights may seem like an afterthought accessory— something you throw on at the last minute when you realise it’s a little chilly…

January 09, 2022 at 06:00AM Aïda Sané is one of those Paris-based creatives who just get it in the style department.
