One of the shows we loved last week was the annual Fashion Design Studio showcase. Every year a few designers are selected on the basis of their graduation range and chosen to participate in a group show at fashion week. This has launched the careers of many, including Dion Lee and Christopher Esber who took part in 2008. Just look where they are now! This year, The Innovators show consisted of six young designers – the largest group ever. It must have been hard for head teacher Nicholas Huxley... read more

Each musician was handpicked by Christopher Bailey and reflect the brand’s heritage of supporting upcoming British talent.

The campaign... read more

CLOTHING: The usual high octane swimwear We Are Handsome have become known for. There were some great new prints this season, including a huge lion, a beach seen from South America, jellyfish and cute retro tape players.

STYLING: The aforementioned icy poles were a cute addition to Jolyon Mason’s styling. The look was actually kept quite... read more
