That’s a wrap
The transition from winter to spring is nearing and with it comes a change in wardrobe staples. It may be time to say goodbye to turtlenecks and high-rise necklines, and hello to our favourite transitional garment – the wrap. We look at what’s trending in the wrap world. SAY YES TO THE DRESS: […]
Vested Interests
It’s time to in-vest! This style staple has made a welcome return and this sartorial season, designers are offering up just about every shape, size and silhouette imaginable. Whether you opt for a sexy tuxedo design sans shirt like Kaia Gerber at Saint Laurent or a fluffy number to keep the chill at bay […]
Shine bright
Blazing a trail, both figuratively and literally, the fashionably elite have been hitting the catwalk and the red carpet dressed in a selection of shimmer this sartorial season. There are endless interpretations, with an option for every occasion. Dazzling diamantes and floor-skimming metallics traditionally reserved for evening attire have been liberated from their […]

Get ready to don some polka dots, colourful leather and metallic fabrics… we’re even going mad for marigold! So it’s not surprising then that we’re getting hot around the collar for ruffles. […]
In the trenches
A new decade may call for reimagining the classics, but some things need little updating. When it comes to the trench, we’ll never say no to the classic cut, but reimagined iterations have been trickling in for the last few seasons, as the darlings of the design world work hard to ensure it maintains a […]
Connecting the dots
It’s long been said that trends are cyclical and when it comes to polka dots, they most certainly are – both in the figurative and literal sense of the expression. If you’re just now connecting the sartorial dots, you might have realised polka dots are everywhere. A print perennial, this sartorial throw-back […]
