As for Dior’s front row at the castle, their autumn winter 2024 collection shown in Paris in February attracted the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Nataltie Portman and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo onto the front row. Whether we will have a K-pop sighting in Scotland remains to be seen — as for the A-list Scottish set, actors Tilda Swinton, Ewan McGregor and James McAvoy would all make for starry extras.

I’ve never been what you might call a man’s man. I mean, look at me. Do I look like I know my way around a toolbox? (That’s not a euphemism.) I’ve never been a five-aside, beers-with-the-lads kind of guy. Basically, I’m not an alpha silverback, by which I mean I don’t wear a watch, I don’t think The Italian Job or Bullitt are cinematic masterpieces (I don’t even drive) and — I was shocked to realise this week — I’ve never been on a stag do. I like shoes with two-inch heels (minimum), Italian slasher films and Colefax and Fowler soft furnishings. What male tribe does this put me in? Enlightened ponce, maybe? Source link

Next summer, it will be led by Samuel Ross MBE, the South London fashion designer behind cult streetwear label A-COLD-WALL* as well as the Industrial Design studio SR_A SR_A, as artistic director.

Naturally, unprocessed items win out, with Weetabix and plain organic wholewheat pasta getting top scores. But, as someone with a gluten intolerance, I realised that while I spent all those years worrying about calories, fat content and protein, I’d overlooked the absolute lack of any sustenance in “free from” food.

Over at the Oscars, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Lawrence, Issa Rae and Hailee Steinfeld took to the liner with gusto, all wearing different takes to suit their looks. The key here isn’t the shape you opt for (like the celebs, you want to make this one work for you), but rather the product you choose — you want something that makes applying liner a doddle, like Vieve’s Power Ink Liner, £21, if you’re going for a stark line, or KIKO Milano High Pigment Eyeshadow in Matte Black, £7.49, if you want a hazier look.

‘So sorry, I’ll be with you in a moment, I’m just penning a tear-stained poem about the end of our breastfeeding journey, called: “Jasper, You’re Four Now”.’ She looks up to find Jasper with his fingers around a traumatized fluffy tail. ‘Oh, Jasper, I can’t have you picking that squirrel up by its tail. I know you’re feeling anxious about climate change, but throwing animals isn’t kind. Here, throw this instead,’ she says, offering him her iPhone to trash. She is so devoted to her mini tyrannical boss that she twitches if she hears the word ‘mummy’. Does not sleep. Does not breathe out of place. Suffers from a rare form of Stockholm syndrome called, ‘Mother’s love’. Source link

As Leon Dame, the ghoulish, bony male model, staggered out under the puddle-splashed Pont Alexandre III bridge in January, John Galliano succeeded in creating the most impact- ful fashion show of 2024. It was the Spring 2024 couture collec- tion for Maison Margiela, and for the first time in years the models were modelling. That’s the work of the house’s move- ment director, Pat Boguslawski, the Polish actor, dancer and model. He explains how he got the job — and gets girls moving like creaky, wind-up dolls.

The hotel boasts the only rock cave spa in Mykonos, a grotto with craggy boulder walls where you can lie in a massage chair that vibrates in time to music. It has two treatment rooms, a steam bath room, an indoor jacuzzi, a hair and beauty salon and tropical rain beds — an enervating experience that had a bit of fishmonger’s slab feel about it, though not, I have to say, in a bad way.

When I left school I attended the London College of Fashion near Oxford Street to study journalism. I needed an affordable place nearby so moved into the YWCA on Great Russell Street, opposite the British Museum — an excellent location for mine and [Bananarama bandmate] Keren’s teenage clubbing in Soho. Then our friend, Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook, offered to move us into an office above their rehearsal room in Denmark Street. Source link
