In terms of a designer purchases financial value, there is known to be a few brands whose resale price can nearly match the original cost (and many cases where vintage finds can make even more). So before you part with your money it is always a good idea to find the piece you love, and think of its longterm wearability. Is it a trend-lead statement piece, or versatile enough to work with your existing wardrobe? Do you trust the quality of the fabrication, and does feel it made to last? Finally, does the cost per wear justify the price? One brand that always manages to tick the right boxes is Prada, and its brand of meticulous craftsmanship, timeless tailoring (and the occasional eccentric twist).  When it comes to which pieces to invest in, there are three in particular...

I know what you’re thinking—a fashion editor who doesn’t shop? Isn’t that counterintuitive? I liken it to my friend who is a baker and doesn’t eat much cake. It’s not that you don’t enjoy it—the opposite, in fact. The difference is that you don’t indulge in it for the sake of it.  For the last ten years or so, fashion has been my livelihood and my greatest passion. I preview collections before they’re released, analyse the catwalks to pick out the need-to-know trends and scour new-in sections daily, all to bring you the very best that fashion has to offer. So, when it comes to shopping for myself, it’s something I’ve become very particular about. For one thing, I have to be in the right mood for it; shopping is a big par...

Yes, there were celebrities in loud outfits lining the front row (hello, Sienna Miller in sequins), and even familiar faces walking down the runway. And of course, with 115 looks in total, there were a few feathers, sparkles and lace pieces. (It is Gucci, after all.) But despite the glamorous L.A. location and extravagant Old Hollywood atmosphere, when I actually got to dissecting the collection after it started dropping recently, the individual pieces have a really timeless, classic appeal—most with a chic nautical twist that’s perfect for transitioning from summer to early autumn. Think camel, check and navy blazers; white tailored shorts; denim dresses and simple black swimsuits, with plenty of the heritage horsebit motif thrown in for good measure.  You Deserve to Make Money Even ...

Founded in Paris in 1847, what once was a small workshop has gone on to become one of the, if not the, most iconic jewellery brands in history. Cartier worked closely with countless sovereigns and royal families worldwide, creating everything from crowns and tiaras to necklaces and earrings. The brand has since become a regular on the red carpet, with celebrities wearing its glittering creations for premieres, award season and industry events. However, Cartier isn’t all about ornate pieces. (Though, it does them exceptionally well.) Some of its most recognisable jewellery, particularly the pieces that have become status symbols, have an industrial aesthetic—one of which is the Juste un Clou bangle. The bracelet is the Cartier Love bracelet’s younger and easier-to-remo...

Of course, most would probably say they’d like to buy the classic Chanel 2.55 flap bag. The iconic piece was first created by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel herself when she got fed up of carrying her bag in her arms. To free herself up, she decided to borrow the idea of having straps, which she’d seen on a soldier’s bag. As per everything else Chanel created, it was a revolutionary take on the item, as up until that point, women carried their handbags. The 2.55 bag was launched in 1955, hence the name. However, it wasn’t until the ’80s, when Karl Lagerfeld took the helm, that the double-C locks were introduced. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
