Wrap it up
A beautiful scarf draped around the neck can do wonders to a simple dress and elevate it to a whole new level. Take a look at Loro Piana’s collection of scarves that feature the iconic Maxi Carré scarf in cashmere and silk in a variety of shades, prints and patterns to match different moods and occasions. Choose patterns of concentric circles or geometric flowers and leaves framed in colourful silk bands with solid and tonal shades.
The happy quilter
Coach features a series of advertising campaigns that highlight the fashion trends for the pre-fall 2021 collection. In the spotlight are designs utilising the codes of American sportswear such as a reworking of the classics with sports-meets-vintage vibes. For example, items from the Coach Originals Quilties feature bags in soft quilted nappa leather and a new treatment of Signature on denim jacquard alongside lovingly hand-embroidered knitwear and floral dresses.
Stylish at home
Although WFH is the norm again, there is no need to dress like it is Frumpy Fridays every day. Take your styling cue from Marks & Spencer’s new Summer 2021 collection that features wearable basics in summer shades of pink, khaki and neutrals. In focus are feminine tiered dresses, cargo pants and boyfriend shorts. Pair these with footwear and accessories such as Grecian strappy flats, trainers or relaxed sandals when running errands.
Skater girl
Black Girls Skate is a non-profit organisation devoted to creating equity, visibility and safety for all skaters. To push their message across, H&M has launched a collection that is filled with vibrant pieces featuring both basics and swimwear, all partly made from sustainable materials. Towelling sets and cropped T-shirts and shorts co-ords are key items, including one of this summer’s most trending statement pieces: Bermuda shorts.
Rock on
Boucheron celebrates the Serpent Bohème collection that was created in 1968 with an update using aquaprase — the newest gem discovered on earth. This gorgeous translucent natural stone is incorporated on rings, necklaces, earrings and bangles. First discovered in 2015 in Zimbabwe, this natural stone was named after its blue-green colour, bestowing every piece with a gentle vibration.
Sip a Rosa
Fashion giant Dolce&Gabbana renews its collaboration with Donnafugata for the launch of Rosa 2020 vintage. This rosé wine is the union of Nerello Mascalese and Nocera grapes which gives off a taste of jasmine, strawberries and bergamot. To double your drinking pleasure, Rosa 2020 now comes in a magnum version and it pairs well with delicate dishes such as raw fish, vegetables and cold cuts.
