Smoke and mirrors

MAC Cosmetics has teamed up with Carine Roitfeld to create a limited edition collection of face kits and array of products to recreate her heavy brows and sultry smoky eye make-up.

Back to cool

From traditional carryall to novelty backpack, this season’s hottest bag on the catwalk is anything but boring. The latest attaché is about classic structure with a fresh two-toned colour palette. Cue the Cambridge Satchel Company’s Virginia Collection, in collaboration with fashion designer Chris Benz.

Tempting Temperley

Hit the street this autumn in the most-wanted designer items. Think textured footwear, embellished tees and lavish Italian cashmere coats. Alice Temperley’s new Somerset collection in collaboration with John Lewis has become the fastest-selling line in the retail stores history.

Doing it for the kids

As the ‘Powerlympics’ brings Games fever back in to town, with the aim of making diversity and inclusion a key differentiator, it seemed fitting to talk about Sisley Paris’ collaboration with Kids Company.

Cat’s meow

A wave of new fashion collaborations has caught my eye, including Pumkin, a limited edition line created by US Vogue creative director Grace Coddington for Parisian luxury label Balenciaga.

Minnie me

Move over Miss Piggy! Minnie Mouse is the latest character to become a fashion icon as a number of international designers collaborate with Disney.

Odd Jobs

Banana’s, safety pins and skulls play the role of quirky to classic ‘old German Furniture’. This is the inspiration for the latest partnership on the design scene and a literal translation of the collections name, Altdeutsche Möbel.

Get your kick

Bridge the fashion gap between late summer and autumn with these Polka dot lace-up sneakers in cotton canvas.

Let the fun and Games begin

As all the bells in the country ring for three minutes today at 8.12am to welcome the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to the UK, I thought it fitting to talk about a London 2012 Festival collaboration that demonstrates how creative Londoners are.

Hot off the press

Add a pop of character and couture to your scent with a perfume that captures the essence of a freshly printed book.
