Art in Fashion I: J.W. Anderson LFW

'Art in Fashion' is the next big trend! Inspired by English painter Graham Sutherland, J.W.

British designer, J.W.Anderson has once again created a collection to challenge the audience's take on art within fashion. Photo: Isidore Montag "In plebeian terms, if "pretty ugly" were a thing, Anderson nailed it.

3 of the Hottest Accessory Trends for SS21

Just because lockdown restrictions are starting to ease doesn’t mean that you have to go out and buy a brand new outfit. Sure, you want to feel and look good at social events after a year of emotional turmoil. (We get it.) That said, sometimes all it takes is the right accessory to tap into current trends and take your style to the next level.

From Kenzo’s slouchy waist belt, to phone lanyards at Versace, to Dior’s straw grab-and-go versions, the focus is on the smaller, the better.  However, simplified, medium-size bags also did the rounds at Hermès and Prada for those who ...

Orange Jungle

Wearing: Cup of Daisies Orange Jungle scarf, Topshop skater dress and necklace, Levis denim jacket, Givenchy sunnies Apologies for the slight hiatus, we're back with a post filled with orange, coral and bright palettes! Inspired by the brief intervals of slightly sunnier weather in the UK this Spring, why not look on the bright side of things. Featuring as a head accessory in this post is the 'Orange Jungle' scarf . This scarf was specially designed for the Noah's Ark Appeal , a charity in support for Children's Hospital in Wales.  I've paired the headscarf with a coral skater dress, colourful statement necklace and a dark-wash denim jacket. Just one of those days where dressing up in brights makes everything more cheerful :) ! Joan x photos courtesy of  Mark Tan
