Over in the Old Divinity School, Jacqueline Rose, a prominent feminist and cultural critic presents her recent book The Plague, as she and fellow author Marina Benjamin of A Little Give, a book that dives into the emotional load of women’s work, talk about their work set in a contemporary world.  Source link

Major props to Versace for snapping up two Hollywood titans for its latest (appropriately named) Icons campaign. Fresh off his Oscar win, Cillian Murphy has joined Anne ‘cerulean’ Hathaway as a face of this collection of wardrobe classics. These might be everyday stalwarts but, naturally, they come with a keen Versace twist; think silk Barocco prints strewn on the backs of trench coats, Medusa-head metal hardware and lashings of leather. The queen of the house, Donatella Versace, offers: ‘I wanted to create a timeless wardrobe of pieces that work hard for you and celebrate the best of Versace. Our great tailoring, our perfect cut. All with just a hint of rebel attitude. The idea is that these pieces are always in the store and you can build your wardrobe around them. I also love to see the...

In a large, concrete warehouse-esque space in Marylebone, the brand’s history is regaled on two floors; starting with it’s 1924 founding in Wilmslow, Cheshire and tracing its early decades which saw the diamond-logo label focus on working with sports teams and ensuring the champions of the FA cup were wearing Umbro, by dressing each team. Football jerseys and athletics wear from the 30s, 40s and 50s are displayed in cabinets, before the nineties Britpop wave (and in particular, the Oasis brothers in their Umbro Manchester City shirts) saw sportswear cross to leisurewear and, later, fashion – Umbro, as this exhibition lays out, was at the forefront.

At the end of the day, we went back to Phil's studio. We were chatting in the dressing room, and she goes ‘Oi, Trace — can you give me a beehive?’ I said ‘oh my god, sit down’, backcombed her hair into this beehive and tied a little scarf that she had around it. She loved her scarves when she was a teenager and was really into that cool, beatnik thing. I remember looking at Amy thinking: ‘This is her.’ Source link

Although it has more calories than other plant-based alternatives, soy milk has the closest protein content to cow’s milk. Not only this, it offers a ‘complete’ plant protein, which is ideal for all you veggies and vegans. It’s also good for the planet as it has the smallest impact on water, land, and greenhouse gas emissions compared to similar options. Source link

As endorsements go, getting The Stones involved, even in the background, is quite the coup. But more important is the fact that the original Granny Takes A Trip team are excited by what is happening with their baby. Nigel Waymouth still lives in London and, despite the fact he is not able to draw as much as he did due to health issues, has collaborated on a few graphics. Button, meanwhile, enthuses about her meetings with John Pearse. ‘I went to his studio to work on the fittings for the tailored suit with him. And all the questions he asked were, “Oh, so what fabric is this?” and “Where did you find them?” That was what he was interested in.’ Source link

I am perspiring profusely. Not the moderate sweat of running for the bus or sitting in the sun on a balmy day. We’re talking droplets making their way down my temple and into my ear, a drenched sports bra, some genuine concern for my hydration levels running through my head. Beyonce’s Ya Ya is thudding out of the speakers, and I realise that while I may still technically be in London, fitness entrepreneur Tracy Anderson has successfully parcelled up her West Coast vim and vigour and delivered it to a subterranean series of marble-bedecked rooms in Surrenne, a wellbeing and longevity members’ club that’s opening in Knightsbridge on April 14, with annual membership at £10k, on top of a joining fee of £5,000.

The hotel’s iconic décor – enhanced most recently with a 2022 redesign by Kemble Interiors – is the epitome of Palm Beach chic. The designers have used a palette that echoes the natural beauty of the area, from the vibrant green palm trees to the blue of the ocean at the beach just a stone’s throw from The Colony’s entrance. It’s a playful, imaginative style that brings a smile to your face at every turn, including new, bespoke de Gournay murals on each floor. Upstairs in the bedrooms you’ll find scalloped headboards, vintage club chairs and maximalist textiles, plus pieces from the shoppable capsule furniture collection created by Society Social for The Colony, made from rattan and faux bamboo.

As speculation swirled over the timing of Fisher and Baron Cohen’s divorce announcement, sources told The Sun that it was, in fact, a long time coming. Perhaps even longer than first thought. “Isla has known for some time the marriage was over, and after some difficult conversations with Sacha, made the decision to consult a divorce lawyer. This was back in early summer, 2022,” the source claimed. Source link
