Netflix’s New ’90s Fashion Documentary Is Essential Watching for Every True Fashion-Lover
Image: Getty Before watching The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion, I didn’t realise the extent to which Black culture shapes the fashion industry. I knew about logomania and Lil’ Kim’s purple pasty outfit from the VMAs in 1999 — but I didn’t understand how stylists Misa Hylton and Dapper Dan created a ’90s subculture now used by the likes of Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and countless luxury brands to represent what is hot, young, and cool. The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion introduces us to some of the women behind hip-hop’s most influential style moments. Historians, stylists, designers, publishers, and editors from the US, London, and Milan explore how the ’90s “ghetto fabulous” aesthetic continues to transform contemporary culture —...

I Scoured The Whole Zara Website to Put Together the Perfect Autumn Edit
Any regular Zara shopper will know the high-street retailer launches new clothing all the time (in fact, it is a little known secret that the brand releases new clothing as often as twice a week).

My Saved Tab On Instagram Is Full of the Most Perfect September Outfits
I’ll be the first to admit it that I spend a lot of time on Instagram, especially during the pandemic. While I may have lost the plot to films and TV shows I’m meant to be watching, thanks to the endless scrolling available, I had got something to show for it: great outfit ideas. And in my line of work, that matters. As you might imagine, I see an endless array of outfit combinations, and while there are plenty that aren’t quite right, there are many that stop me in my tracks. Case in point: I’ve followed Amy Julliette Lefévre, who goes by the IG handle @lefevrediary) for a while, and a few weeks ago I came across the most perfect outfit—an oversized blazer, white T-shirt, jeans and slouchy socks with classic white trainers. The look was pure 2020; m...

I Swear By These Multitasking Makeup Products for a Quick 5-Minute Face
I really do love playing with makeup, but 99% of the time, when it comes to my beauty routine, I want things to be quick and fuss-free.

One of These Cult Eye Shadow Palettes Is Sold Every 7 Seconds
Urban Decay’s eye shadow palettes are the stuff of legend. For a brand that was largely known for its rich rainbow of colour (one super-fan even had their car sprayed to match the vibrant hue of her favourite Urban Decay nail polish, the now-retired Asphyxia), its 2010 debut of Naked, a 12-shade nude eye shadow palette, was a gamble; one that certainly paid off. It might have started out as an office brainstorm, but the Naked palette became one of the most iconic beauty products of the last decade. Since then, the success of the original palette has spawned an array of iterations: Naked2 (retired), Naked3, Naked Smoky (retired), Naked Basics (retired), Naked2 Basics (my beloved six-shade palette, which I’m buying in bulk incase it also gets retired), Naked Heat, N...
Holly Willoughby Just Wore the Cutest Summer Dress
So what is her stylist Angie Smith’s tips for making the most out of a high-street budget? “I think that certain brands excel in specific styles. For example, if I need a great cashmere jumper, I always go to John Lewis & Partners or M&S; for tailoring, L.K.Bennett and The Kooples; for coats and skirts, I go to Jigsaw; for dresses, Whistles; for skirts, H&M; and for shoes, Kurt Geiger. For everything else—and for one-off unexpected pieces—I regularly shop Massimo Dutti, Maje, Hobbs, Next, Warehouse, Russell & Bromley, Topshop and Office.” As for outfits that always work for Holly? “She has an amazing hourglass figure, so she suits fitted, tailored shapes,” Smith shares. “All her looks have to work 360 because we never know what she’...
