How the Year’s Biggest TV Shows Have Changed the Way We Dress

If you spend anywhere near as much time as I do watching TV, you’ll know how easy it is to get invested in the lives of your favourite fictional characters, and as someone who lives, breathes and works in fashion, what those characters end up wearing can often be as vital to my enjoyment of a series as the plot.

Sneak Peek: Emily in Paris’s New Outfits Are Gloriously Over-the-Top

If three of your favorite F-words are fun, French, and fashion, then you’re probably already counting down the days until the season-three premiere of Emily in Paris—only 12 remain until Lily Collins and the amiable albeit occasionally aloof cast of characters magically appear on Netflix on December 21.

Sex and the City’s Reboot Is Back, and Carrie’s Outfits Need to Be Seen

It was back in July 2021 that the reboot of everyone’s favourite fashion-centric show, Sex and the City, officially began filming in New York City before And Just Like That launched in December the very same year, and it’s safe to say that the series got the whole Who What Wear team talking. There was plenty of newness on the cards in season one, but thankfully one thing remained the same: the fashion. That’s right, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte were back in action and wearing some very on-brand outfits for each of their characters. (Sadly, Samantha was not part of the new spin-off, and her sassy ensembles and witty one-liners will continue to be sorely missed.)  Season one didn’t disappoint when it came to standout fashion moments, with highlights including a s...

Mr Macaroni brings the same energy as he covers the September digital edition of SIMPLE MAGAZINE in a rich discourse on his life, career, experiences, insights, and goals. Born and brought up in Lagos, the Ogun indigene talked about the many facets that make up his being. From attending several tertiary institutions before his eventual graduation – bagging a Theatre Arts degree at the Redeemer’s University to years behind the scenes often taking acting roles as insignificant extras to the point of almost giving up on his acting dream (which has done him a world of good in hindsight,) to flawlessly radiating onscreen either as “Daddy Wa”, ...
