Engineers are well aware of this potential pitfall, which is why MG called heavily on its small UK team, based at Longbridge, to help fine-tune the car before it went on sale in October here last year. Guided by ‘MG David’ (David Allison, Head of Product and Planning at MG Motor UK Ltd), the team liaised closely with HQ in China, culminating in a handful of successive development cars being sent over here, for testing, refinement and development.

“The morning after” proved popular on moodboards; both Ashish Gupta, the Indian-born, London-based designer known for his exceptional use of sequins, and Sinead Gorey, a grungy partywear label, lent in. As such, beleaguered-looking models wearing miniskirts with baggy hoodies were de rigueur. Elsewhere, hoodies came haute. Jawara Alleyne, another of London’s rising stars, had deconstructed hooded pullovers in his line-up, which had more gowns than the safety-pin T-shirts he is known for, and Rihanna loves. Stefan Cooke added striped hoods under inky, cinched wool jackets — while Simone Rocha’s hoodies came zipped, navy blue, and embellished with splashes of crystal. Source link

Next, I settled into some reading, finding I steamed through a few Conan Doyle stories as silence rung around me. This silence characterised the day, and despite going out to do a Reformer Pilates session and to go for a walk around the park where I encountered lots of people, I felt less harassed by the world, less like it demanded from me something I couldn’t give it, more like I existed in a bubble of calm away from the fray. By the evening though, the silence felt intense, nearly imposing, and I missed the sound of music sweeping through the house. Source link

London Fashion Week is back in town — and celebrities are filling up the front rows to catch the first glimpse of the autumn winter 2025 collections. As has become customary in recent years, American designer Harris Reed began proceedings with an 8pm extravaganza on Thursday, 20 February, which saw him take over the Tate Britain.Florence Pugh at Harris ReedJed Cullen/Dave BenettAfter a surprise performance by Florence Pugh, wild sculptural gowns — some of which left little to imagination — came down the runway as Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, and Michèle Lamy watched on. S.S.Daley, one of London’s brightest young labels which is part owned by Harry Styles, began Friday’s shows with printed leggings, bouncing puffy skirts and a Marianne Faithfull soundtrack. Star of the f’row was Amandaland’...

Where is your favourite destination and why? Nepal, I have such special memories there from trips in recent years. The people, culture and food are so beautiful. I feel very clear-minded when I am in Nepal, particularly in the mountains. It truly has become such a special place to me.When was the last time you were there, and who were you with?I last went in November, when I summited Mera Peak’s 6,476m with my dad, brother, godfather and some family friends. We were guided by the wonderful Tendi Sherpa and his two colleagues Pasang and Dendi. It was one of the hardest things I have done in my life, but so rewarding. My dad and I hiked Ama Dablam base camp the year prior with Tendi. It was really special bringing my other loved ones to this beautiful place that we had experienced.Two porter...

“Last year, I had thought, ‘American Riviera, that sounds like such a great name.’ It’s my neighbourhood; it’s a nickname for Santa Barbara,” explained Meghan in a video she posted on Instagram this week. “But it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area,” she continued, glossing over the fact that the trademark application for the brand was rejected due to the fact that common names for geographic locations cannot be trademarked.

This rather unusual hotel is like the Barbican of the Maldives, with less height and considerably more luxury. It’s main buildings comprise layered concrete, creating a stylish dichotomy between brutalism and the natural beauty of the rainforest. Internally, the rooms and restaurants are all about crisp fabrics and sharp lines, with windows instead of walls, as well as East Asian-inspired wooden partitions and low seating. Dotted across the island, there’s a lobby, cocktail bar, dive centre, café and two restaurants, as well as a showstopper restaurant called Seasalt, whose infinity pool is absolutely Instagram-worthy.
