UniqloJonathan Anderson is fashion’s darling, behind his own London-based label JW Anderson and mastermind of Spanish label, and jewel of LVMH’s crown, Loewe. Since 2017, he has been designing collections for Uniqlo, saying: “we have to democratise fashion.” Key pieces over the years have become wardrobe staples of the best dressed industry insiders — so do take note.His autumn winter 2024 collection, out in the UK on 10 October, “draws its inspiration from the beauty of seaside landscapes,” reads a statement. “Elements of British classic clothing and traditional fishermen's garb have been updated for the modern everyday wardrobe. There is a sophistication and rugged quality to the pieces.” Look out for the padded trench coats, ombré knits, and lovely “heattech” logo socks.UniqloHero purch...

As the chill sets in and the English countryside reaches for its russet and ochre raincoat, the traditional boozer beckons with an amber glow. And why not? There’s the honest pub grub, gnarled beams and cosy, crackling fire, but also the smug convenience of scaling an 16th-staircase to bed after a hearty supper. Pubs-with-rooms are also the best way to peer into Britain’s rural soul as cosmopolitan voyeurs, where menus are lined with game and produce from local farms, and flagstones are still trodden by filthy labs and locals’ muddy wellies. Some are cool, with modern art perking up historic walls and furniture blending in with whimsically wonky bedrooms in some Hackney-On-The-Wold. But all cling to the proper pub idyll, where scruffy edges, country walks and a squire-like sensibility endu...

I have my hair icons; don’t we all. Brigitte Bardot is up there, forever making me yearn for an abundance of hair, tousled just so. Then there’s a Bond-era Sophie Marceau, hair streaming down her back, long fringe framing her face. More recently Daisy Edgar-Jones’ ‘do has made me a bit weak at the knees, the caramel lengths making her fawn eyes look even more huge.Daisy Edgar-Jones has added caramel tones to her hair ahead of a return to the West End stagePA WireYou will notice there is clearly a theme. I like a whole lot of hair, highlighted. Imperative though is the condition, and so despite coveting those women’s hairstyles with twinkly light sections woven through, I have on many occasions entirely chopped mine off simply because it was looking ratty and bedraggled and my desire for he...

Torsten Bell, Miatta Fahnbulleh, Yuan Yang, Josh Simons, et al … The parliamentary Labour party hasn’t been awash with talent in recent years, but it is about to get hundreds of new MPs. Many are young talents who have been parachuted into safe seats by party HQ. They include Torsten Bell, former chair of the deeply influential centre-left think tank Resolution who has just penned a blueprint for “rebuilding Britain” after 14 years of Conservative government. Then there is Miatta Fahnbulleh, a big economic brain who has succeeded Harriet Harman as MP in Peckham. Yuan Yang, a Financial Times journalist and China expert, has just published her first history book as she enters the Commons. And Josh Simons, 30, spent the last few years running the Labour Together think tank, which addressed th...

With the world-leading array of child-friendly museums, pop-ups and attractions across London, booking a sleepover in town is the ultimate family luxury. Spending a night in town means you can squeeze so much more into the day – whilst also making happy memories, be they at the breakfast buffet (my kids’ happy place) or falling asleep together after a West End show.Some hotels might have had a reputation for stuffiness in the old days, but today the capital’s hoteliers are bending over backwards to welcome families in the most imaginative ways. From treasure hunts to child-focused concierges, free kids meals to in-room teepees, my family of five (including kids aged six, four and one) check out the London hotels doing everything they can to ensure children – and their parents – feel extra ...

Royal Enfield pulled off quite a coup when it launched its Himalayan 411 in 2016; oozing with rugged adventure vibes, it found a genuinely enthusiastic following and was a sales success.It wasn’t perfect of course. It was a little crude in places and certainly not fast, but it was fun, capable enough off-road and could be fitted with bespoke alloy panniers for long trips, even if it wasn’t a great motorway cruiser.Now it’s been overhauled from the ground up; engine, suspension and frame have all been redesigned, with the team learning from the old model. It’s a refined gem now and makes quite a visual impression - especially when decked out in the fancy ‘Kamet White’ paint job (five colours are available) and with a full suite of luggage.In place of the air-cooled 411 single making 24.5 bh...

To be fair to Posh and Becks, they’ve been repping this trend for a while. Back in 2019, a video of the Beckham brood - Victoria, David, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven - doing yoga on holiday with help of an instructor went viral, not least because it revealed Victoria’s intimidatingly fierce core strength (and David’s bright orange swim shorts).

I have worked with so many inspiring people, from supermodels like Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington to red-carpet royalty like Penelope Cruz, Amal Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, Sofia Vergara, Salma Hayek and Phoebe Dynevor, and legends like Sir Elton John … the list is endless. Several have become my close friends. Source link
