There are hero pieces and then there are wax jackets interlaced with fabric from the actual curtains from Chatsworth House. When Erdem’s opera coat took its turn around the British Museum at his spring/summer show, there were audible gasps. Yes, the humble Barbour has gone hyper luxe. Erdem, longtime Chatsworth House superfan and visitor, took his cue from Deborah Cavendish, the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire. He explains: ‘I was given incredible access to Debo’s archive and collection of couture gowns, alongside photos of her in her gardens in her waxed cotton coat. When the opportunity arose to collaborate with Barbour, I knew I wanted to do something that merged those two worlds.’ The showpiece incorporated fabric fragments from Debo’s bedroom curtains; the on-sale version uses a re...

Hiring an electric car across California is the obvious tip, but look for hotels with EV points to avoid wasting daylight hours charging. California’s roads are long and often winding, and depending on the season you’re never too far away from wintry or wet conditions — especially at high elevation beauty spots. Eating seasonally is easy too. California’s weather is comparable to the Mediterranean, and it’s these conditions that make it a favourable farm-to-table destination. Cities like Sacramento and Berkeley have long been flying the flag for fresh, seasonal produce, with locally grown almonds, pistachios, mandarins and tomatoes abundant on menus year-round, reducing food mileage. So with that in mind, here’s four alternative California road trips that incorporate those sustainable prac...

Aptly named the “Anya Mart”, it’s already proven itself one of the capital’s most in demand corner shops — with punters queuing in the rain from 7am for a 10am opening this Saturday. Honestly, fair enough. Stacked high with brand new pieces from her latest collection, including mini Lurpak butter and Fruit Pastille-replica charms, card cases and Pringle-sloganed raffia totes — as well as an exclusive mini version of her popular Universal tote bag, it’s got all your everyday non-essentials — and then some.  Source link

In addition to the restaurant, lounge area and upstairs bar, No. 42 has also made space for a chic underground spa and adjoining coffee shop, called Field Trip. Decked out in shades of warm wood and decorated with herbs and grasses, this is the place to go for the hotel’s signature Lessen Your Stress treatment: an hour-long back, shoulder and face massage with a facial which managed to unwind every muscle in my body in a surprisingly short space of time (£95).

The arrival of W Algarve in June 2022, Portugal’s first W brand, marked a step change for the southern Portuguese region, bringing a stylish disruptor to the Algarve’s usual reputation for family-friendly waterparks, bucket and spade holidays and golfing greens. Instead, the W Algarve introduces the brand’s trademarks of innovation, luxury and quirky design, successfully mixing Portuguese style with a laid-back escape and the W’s core spirit of energetic, music-filled drama.

In 2018, she published the autobiographical Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon, a personal take on her life and style. For it, the designer Dries Van Noten summarised her with affection: "I have rarely met someone as vivid, as alive, as vital, vivacious, irreverent, joyous, relevant, and needed as Iris. She breathes young air, thinks young thoughts, and gathers no dust,” he said.  Source link

The almost full famille complement (no Romeo) were in attendance - including daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham in a scarlett red mini dress, who was spotted earlier in the week wearing a piece from Mrs Beckham’s own personal archive, a Dolce & Gabbana 2001 moto jacket. Source link
