When viewing the spring summer 2021 collections you need to first acknowledge the context in which these looks were created—designers around the world were all working during lockdown, many away from their studios and usual resources, divided from their teams and facing huge logistical challenges. Their work was then presented to the world largely via […]
It goes without saying that the festive season is not going to look quite the same this year, and the usual get-togethers and drinks parties will be put on pause until 2021 (yep, it’s going to be some shindig). Yet, despite this, our desire to get dressed up has not been dampened, and after a quick survey of the Who […]
I love Christmas. There, I said it. I really, really love Christmas. And it’s not because of the presents, or the tree or the incessant carols that play on repeat in every single department store throughout the whole month of December. I love Christmas because it is one of the few times a year that […]
When the news came that Topshop’s parent company, Arcadia, would be going into administration, the entire team couldn’t help but reminisce on the good old days: The memories of our first shopping trips to Topshop as teenagers still feel fresh, and we could all remember what we bought.

Set up in 2000, it wasn’t until 2017 that the brand saw mainstream success amongst the fashion crowd thanks to its universal cool-girl appeal and personality-packed yet wearable pieces. […]
Plans are few and far between this year, with the usual December activities off the cards. In the lead-up to Christmas last year, I attempted to do my own advent of evening plans, saying yes to any invite that came my way. This year however my challenge is how many meals I can actually endure outside […]
Full disclosure: I’m writing this while wearing sweatpants, a sherpa pullover, and compression socks, but Katie Holmes is inspiring me to go change my outfit, even at 6:00 p.m. on a cold and gloomy day. I love jeans and wear them often, but not as often as in years past, since I stay home so much more this […]
Even during the most sociable non-COVID times, it’s very easy for a fashion editor to exist in a bubble of one’s own industry companions. It’s the kind of safe space where we egg each other on to definitely buy those super-expensive Bottega boots (so classic!) or start wearing our jackets perched on our shoulders instead of firmly on our arms […]
