Knee Boots Are the Only Boots I’m Interested in—These 30 Pairs Are Perfect
Year in, year out, as autumn rolls around you can always guarantee two things–one, leather will always come back into fashion, and two, you will see me in knee high boots. Why? There’s a variety of reasons, but there’s something about the style of the long boot that instantly elevates any outfit. For that reason, knee-high boots are, hands down, my favourite boot silhouette, and although they’ve never officially been out of style, it seems like leather knee-high boots are one of the only styles that matter for autumn/winter 2022.

Whether You’re 25 or 65, These 5 Pieces Are Perfect for Party Season
As a stylist for over 10 years, I’ve dressed women of all ages, sizes and backgrounds. And something I often get told is that they think they’re ‘”too old” to wear something. My reply? Wear whatever makes you feel good. Because wearing what you love will instantly give you the confidence to pull off any look. With that being said, though, there are some particular trends that I always believe work on absolutely everyone, no matter your age. Party season is in full swing, so to give you a helping hand, I’ve found five timeless looks that are guaranteed to work for every upcoming occasion in your busy diary. Whether it’s a black dress—my mum in her 60s, myself in my 30s and even my niece who is 8 owns one of these—a jum...
I’m a Beauty Editor—This Is My Ultimate List of the Best Foundations
Foundation is a very personal makeup preference for every person who wears it. Some prefer a lightweight coverage that gives the skin a subtle tint, whereas others may favour a full-coverage formula for a flawless finish. Your skin type can also have a big influence on what foundations work for you. Mattifying and oil-control formulas may be better suited to oily or acne-prone skin types, whereas dry skin types may fare better with hydrating and oil-based textures that nourish the skin as your wear them. The good news is that there are so many foundations out there, with many brands now offering a diverse range of shades to achieve a perfect match. The bad news is that it can be overwhelming to find a foundation that fits your needs and your budget and works with your s...
Kendall Jenner Wore Underwear With Nothing But Tights for a Busy Day Out in L.A.
When the no-trouser trend appeared on the runway in September, I knew right away that it would be controversial and, therefore, a huge hit in fashion. Moreover, when brands such as Victoria Beckham, Bottega Veneta, and Khaite are the ones responsible, you know a trend has legs—pun intended. With none other than Kendall Jenner having just debuted the buzzed-about look that started it all, it appears my predictions were spot-on. Seen in L.A. between shoots for the luxury retailer Fwrd, where she’s creative director, Jenner wore a chunky navy-blue sweater with black briefs and heels—no trousers in sight. The bottomless ensemble came practically straight off Matthieu Blazy’s Bottega Veneta S/S 23 runway, be...
Jeffrey Deitch Presents ‘Rammellzee: Gothic Futurism’ Exhibition in LA
Jeffrey Deitch Los Angeles is currently showcasing Rammellzee: Gothic Futurism, a solo exhibition featuring the works of the late artist Rammellzee. As a multidisciplinary artist, Rammellzee produced extensive bodies of works that span genres and mediums. After being mesmerized by the story of a medieval monk who developed an ornate script that was deemed so unreadable, it was banned by the high ranks. The story spoke to Rammellzee as proof that lettering can be used as a subversive and liberating art form, thus spurring his “Gothic Futurism” philosophy and “Ikonoklast Panzerism” artistic approach. In the Rammellzee: Gothic Futurism exhibition, the collection is curated with an array of DIY sculptures, full-body suits of armor, and framed graffiti pieces all in the spirit of “Gothic Futuri...
Yayoi Kusama Launches New Outdoor Exhibition in Qatar
In conjunction with the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 kickoff, the grounds of the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) in Qatar have been transformed into an expansive outdoor exhibition dubbed My Soul Blooms Forever featuring artwork from the renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Said to explore the artist’s fascination with the natural world, several large-scale sculptures have been installed outside, appearing in the region for the first time. “The grounds of the Museum of Islamic Art have become a favorite outdoor gathering place in Doha, marked by an array of public artworks that range from playful to iconic. With these new installations by Yayoi Kusama — one of the world’s most visionary artists — MIA Park has been magically transformed for the people we are welcoming from around the world for t...

November proudly welcomes in the festive season with red wine and sequins—yes that’s exactly what I think of when the end of year countdown begins.

I’ve Worked It Out: This Is How London Women Always Make Jeans Look Cool
Whenever I’m in need of fresh outfit inspiration, there are a few places I always look, but one that never fails is the street style and posts of some of London’s best dressed. Always effortlessly cool but with firsthand understanding of the UK’s fluctuating weather, London women manage to toe the line between putting their own spin on timeless classics and setting new, unexpected trends, so where better to look to breathe new life into the humble pair of jeans than the streets of the capital? From Burnt Oak to Brixton, the trend du jour is the looser, straight-leg style for a menswear-inspired look (sorry, skinnies), and thanks to Instagram, I’ve found some particularly good ways to wear it. Whether you’re a denim devotee or a new con...
We’ll All Be Dyeing Our Hair These 9 Colours for Winter, Say Hair Colourists
Celebrity hair colourist Justin Anderson (who tends to the hair colour of Jennifer Anniston and Margot Robbie) summed it up best when I asked him about his hair colour predictions for this season. “I think that hair colour should always suit you; it should suit your lifestyle and it should suit your skin tone,” he said. “Think: when you see someone walk out of a workout and their hair is just a beautiful, natural colour that suits them, even if they’re not wearing any makeup—that’s good hair colour. It just works with every part of your lifestyle.” And other hair colourists feel the same way. “Recently, I’ve noticed hair trends have shifted to more subtle seasonal themes, and now more than ever, clients are looking to make ...
Drake Invests $100M USD to Restore Amusement Park Featuring Designs From Salvador Dali, Haring, Basquiat and More
Drake is putting in $100 million USD to restore Luna Luna, a defunct amusement park in Hamburg, Germany that features work from the likes of Salvador Dali, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Viennese artist and Luna Luna founder André Heller explained that the amusement park briefly opened in Hamburg in 1987 but was shut down for good after several issues, including the falling out of a purchase contract with the city of Vienna and the cancellation of a European tour. Heller eventually sold Luna Luna for $6 million USD in 1990 to the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation, only to be met with even more legal problems that eventually forced a delay in the acquisition. When it was finally purchased after years of ...
13 Artists Are Selling Custom Football Shirts to Raise Funds for Migrant Workers in Qatar
One could argue that there has never been a FIFA World Cup so marred in controversy as the current tournament playing out in Qatar. Since winning the bid in 2010, the host nation has consistently made headlines over allegations of bribery, concern by major clubs for moving the event from summer to the fall, along with more pressing issues, such as the death of 6,500 migrant workers who were tasked with building many of the ‘pop-up’ stadiums and Qatar’s questionable humanitarian record. Human rights group Amnesty International worked with Dublin-based store Hen’s Teeth on bringing together 13 artists who are raising funds for the non-profit’s ongoing investigation into labor abuses by Qatar. Entitled Goalissimo, the project sees each artist create a unique spin on their home nation’s shirt....
