Why Quiet Luxury Is the Ultimate Fashion and Beauty Trend For 2024
Move over mob wife, say goodbye to dopamine dressing and so long to logomania, it seems when it comes to trends in 2024 it is all about "quiet luxury". From opting for classic shape bags (or The Clossic - cost of living classic - as we're calling it) to a less is more when it comes to our skin and opting for vintage scents rather than on trend perfumes, could this spell the end of fast fashion and internet fads for good? Quiet luxury as a trend has been gaining popularity throughout the whole of 2024, throughout award season we saw lots of celebrities opting for natural skin and a less is more approach to hair and makeup, but it seems it is now also trickling down to our clothing choices with more and more of us are scaling back on our fashion and beauty looks towards a more capsule, clas...
The Clossic Era: Why the Longchamp Bag is Having a Revival
Have you ever noticed that if you break your arm, suddenly everyone seems to have broken their arm? Or when you have a major haircut, like when I decided to chop all my hair into an Italian bob a few months ago, then it seemed everyone was suddenly doing the same thing? Well, the same thing has happened to me recently when I decided to revive my failsafe, dependable Longchamp La Pliage Large Bag (£120) from the back of the cupboard. I have had this bag for years, in various sizes I may add, but this year I decided rather than looking around for the latest handbag shape I was going to save my money and revert back to an old faithful. It fits my laptop in, it's easy to carry, not too heavy, it can be cleaned easily, and if I don't need it anymore that day it can be folded up into a wallet ...
From Sam Smith to AJ Odudu, See the Daring Celebs in Latex Fashion
Some trends come and go, while others stand the test of time, and celebrities in latex fashion is firmly in the latter category. The risqué trend offers a high-shine, super-sleek look that celebrities return to time and time again. Recently, we've seen AJ Odudu rock a bespoke luxury latex catsuit at the premiere of "Big Brother" and Nicola Coughlan wow in a custom-made Christopher Kane dress earlier this year. And who can forget Sam Smith winning the 2023 Brits red carpet in that inflatable suit? While latex has been a feature in high-fashion campaigns and worn among the A-list for years, it also has connotations with fetishism. Therefore, celebrities in latex combine both style and sex appeal when repping the trend. Latex is also a more sustainable option than its sister fabric, PVC. Mad...
Scarf Coats, aka Scoats, Are the Two-for-One Winter Buy Worth Investing In
As the temperature begins to drop, you're likely to be in the market to find the best coats of the season to add to your wardrobe. While there are many things to consider when investing in a winter coat (fabric, length, colour, occasion), we can't help but champion a jacket that works that little bit harder than its predecessors: enter the scarf coat. Last winter, the Toteme scarf coat went viral thanks to its practical, yet stylish silhouette. The hip-length peacoat shape comes with a built-in scarf sewn in to create a soft, blanket finish. Released for autumn/winter 2022, the outerwear from the Scandinavian brand soon went viral, with the hashtag #totemescarfjacket currently racking up 8.7million views on TikTok. Loved by editors and influencers alike, last fashion month saw the coat dom...

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sarah Lysander Svendby Carter (@sarahlysander) Dua Lipa is a woman after our own heart. If she's not heading up the biggest movie of the year (it's "Barbie" fyi, if you've been living under a rock) with a stellar single, and working on a brand new album, she's giving us plenty of fashion envy with her street and red carpet style. And it seems that her fashion streak is continuing for her birthday celebrations, in which the singer welcomed her 28th birthday on 22 August in an enviable 90s look. Posing for some stunning pictures with her friend and fellow model Sarah Lysander, Lipa wore a tiny Gucci mesh bralette. Pairing the statement lingerie with a Y2K-esque mesh bolero, the star added some sparkle with diamanté lilac slack...
In Search of New Fashion Inspo for 2023? Ditch Your Trousers and Show Your Knickers
Looking to flex your fashion credentials at the start of 2023? Then it’s time to ditch the trousers. Yes, really. The emerging trend of the season is to lose your bottoms in favour of wearing just a pair of tights or simply showing off your underwear sans leg coverage. Before you think we’ve had one too many Baileys over New Year, let us enlighten you. And trust us, it’s actually kind of chic. The trouserless trend was a regular at the spring/summer 23 catwalks, which pave the way for fashion inspiration for the coming season. And the trend has already been adopted by a handful of celebrities. Take, for example, the Bottega Veneta show. Creative Director Matthieu Blazy layered a chunky knit over a white top and paired it with black briefs, tights, and pointed heels. No tr...
Dressing Like a 2000s Frazzled English Woman Is Autumn’s Latest Trend – Yes, Really
Feeling rushed, like you never have time to properly style your outfits, and keep throwing on layers to run your errands as the weather cools? Well, you’re actually the height of fashion thanks to the latest viral TikTok trend for autumn: the 2000s Frazzled English Woman aesthetic. Sure, it’s not the snappiest name, but it’s the only real way to explain it. Y2K fashion in the form of butterfly tops, tie-front shirts, and pleated miniskirts has dominated wardrobes for the last few months. Inspiration has come from classic films like “Clueless” and “Mean Girls”, with the latest iteration getting a fuchsia makeover with “Barbiecore” turning the trend pink. But the look has very much been a summer staple, so transitioning it to autumn has p...

Fashion Is Trying to Bring Back the Worst Y2K Trend: Using Real Animals as Accessories
It all started at Chanel‘s spring/summer 2022 haute couture show in January. Grace Kelly’s granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi opened the catwalk by riding on horseback, but critics viewed the spectacle in bad taste. While also fuelling whispers that the brand is trying to compete with equestrian-focused Hermès, fans were quick to call out the ethics of using an animal as a prop — particularly when horses are notoriously skittish. The use of real animals as fashion accessories or luxury items is having an unforgivable comeback. And while Chanel’s choice to put a horse on its runway might have Coco rolling in her grave, designers across London and Milan were also guilty of indulging in the unethical trend. “Quick fashion! The planets on fire! We need to fix things stat...

The BRIT Awards 2022 Red Carpet Is Serving “Matrix” Meets Mugler
It looks as if everybody on the red carpet at the 2022 BRIT Awards had recently attended a screening of “The Matrix Resurrections.” Apparently, the sartorial order of the day was “undisputedly cool,” with attendees taking us into the future by swanning the carpet in black cutouts, structural shapes, ankle-sweeping coats, and a whole lot of leather. BRIT Award winner Little Simz led the vanguard in an all-black ensemble layered with a pop of neon green, courtesy of Prada. She completed the look with some red-tinted sunglasses that Trinity would no doubt approve of. Behind her came Ashley Roberts in a standout black halter-neck Mônot gown with leather gloves — this time fusing “The Matrix” with the late, great Thierry Mugler. It was clear to see MuglerR...
