The best looks from Milan Fashion Week Men’s FW 26/27
The curtain has fallen on Milan Fashion Week, which wrapped up on Monday after three days where all eyes were on men. This one was about a man with no fear of stepping outside his comfort zone. A fearless man who embraces his masculinity in a non-conformist way, yet never ceases to be a gentleman.
Silhouettes were exaggerated — at Dsquared2 there were massive puffers and oversized parkas channelling après-ski, but made sexy. Meanwhile, at Prada, streamlined garments were elongated, mimicking des...

Dior continues its love affair with Japan for Fall ’25
Dior’s love affair with Japan runs deep, from Monsieur Dior making history as the first couturier to show a collection there in 1953 to John Galliano, then the house’s creative director, channelling the drama of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, set in Nagasaki, for the spring 2007 haute couture show. So it comes as no surprise that last week the French house staged its autumn ready-to-wear show against the backdrop of Kyoto, choosing the peaceful surroundings of the Tō-ji Temple, home to Japan’s tal...
The best looks from Paris Fashion Week Men’s FW 26/27
As Paris Fashion Week Men’s drew to a close after five days of shows, the celebration of the male form was only just beginning. The fashion capital rarely disappoints when it comes to creativity and this season was no exception. While designers paid homage to the foundations of tailoring, few shied away from pushing boundaries. Take Feng Chen Wang, whose 37-look collection reworked structured tailoring by juxtaposing architectural silhouettes with relaxed materials and contrasting textures.

Our favourite shows from London Fashion Week FW 26/27
Previously recognised as Annie’s Ibizia, the Autumn/Winter 2026 season marked a pivotal transition for the fashion label, as it unveiled its latest collection, Return to Self, under a newly refined name: Annies.

It marked the first time Annie Doble peppered the runway with shoes and tailored trousers alongside their signature heirloom-inspired pieces, elevated by gleaming jacquards and lavishly embellished sheer dresses.

Nude Project’s Barcelona store is the label’s version of a temple
Each decorative adornment on the walls of Nude Project’s headquarters in Barcelona’s industrial Poblenou district carries a meaning. There are images of co-founders Bruno Casanovas and Alex Benlloch when they first started the brand in 2019, a t-shirt signed by Ronaldinho from their brand collaboration, a sealed glass containing an emergency condom and a store-count flip calendar.
There is a lingering sense of pride and a glint in Casanovas’ eyes, when he pulls off the number 10 from the calend...

I'm A Beauty Writer And I Swear By This Rhode Glazing Milk Dupe For Glass Skin
There are countless reasons to envy Hailey Bieber – the pop-star husband, her low-maintenance, cool-girl style, and of course, that impossibly glassy skin.

The woman behind BIAB nails lifts the lid on the brand's beginnings
With a background in IT, Daisy brought a fresh, technical approach to an industry she grew up around, having spent her childhood in her mum’s salon. A qualified nail technician, she went on to own two nail salons of her own, but quickly became frustrated with outdated colours and formulas that simply didn’t perform. Determined to do better, she began developing her own products, working closely with labs from the basement of her second salon in Brighton.
