I left a $420,000-a-year job to spend more time with my son, only to discover that being my own boss meant having rather a lot of bosses. Thirty years later, AI is changing the rules of entrepreneurship. Starting a business has never looked easier. But what if not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur?
After years of writing about jewellery, we’ve rather happily become part of the story. Hartenstein Diamonds is our new jewellery brand, creating lab-grown diamond jewellery in Antwerp. I co-founded it with Alex Schönburg, Charlotte and Ben Auerbach, bringing together our experience in fashion, design and the diamond business. The starting point was personal. We wanted … Read more
“Amiga.” A word in Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan that means the person you share everything with: your heartbreaks, your financial chaos, your perfume, and the secret list of brands you swear by. So, amiga, today we’re letting you in on ours: the fashion and jewellery brands we love. Let’s go! Loulou de Saison — Discreet … Read more
Fashion takes the Portuguese saying “recordar é viver” rather literally: to remember is to live again. Some call it a tribute, others an archive reference. But let’s be honest, quite a few of fashion’s best ideas lately have already had a very good life in the 1990s. And Miu Miu behaves as though it has … Read more
Sabato De Sarno has a new job, and we have a reason to pay closer attention to Icicle. The Chinese luxury brand has appointed Gucci’s former creative director to oversee womenswear, menswear, accessories and eyewear. His first collection is expected for autumn/winter 2027, according to Vogue Business. For those of us who liked what he … Read more
Bad news for anyone still emotionally attached to her Havaianas: the time has come to put them away. The September issues have landed, work and school have resumed, and the calendar is becoming rather insistent. Summer is packing its bags. Fortunately, our editors love a change of season, and autumn is one of our favourites … Read more
If you are reading this article, we already know something about you: even if you love paper — the smell, the weight, the frankly unnecessary pleasure of turning a glossy page — you probably buy far fewer magazines than your mother did. So do we. Print magazines never really recovered from the digital revolution. We … Read more
Montblanc FW26 is about more than beautifully made travel bags. The new Writing Traveller collection taps into a larger cultural shift towards books, handwriting and analogue life — a rather appealing proposition in the age of AI.
The official European summer has barely begun, and already the continent seems to have mistaken June for August with a nervous breakdown. The solstice arrived, the temperatures rose, and suddenly every elegant person from Paris to Palermo was faced with the same existential question: how does one remain chic while quietly melting from the inside? … Read more
Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Couture Fall Winter 2026 collection did not try to escape the maison’s history. Instead, it bent it into a more tactile, sculptural and emotionally adult vision of femininity — one where beauty has softness, structure and a pulse.
There are two kinds of women in fashion. The ones who say they are “building a timeless wardrobe”, and the ones who still have three dresses in the back of the closet with the tags attached. Usually, they are the same woman. This is where luxury resale comes in. Not as a guilty little fashion … Read more
There is something quietly satisfying about watching a young actress arrive in Hollywood without a famous surname attached to her like a designer label. Chase Infiniti’s parents are not movie stars. They are not studio executives. They are not part of the glossy family tree that usually explains why certain faces appear everywhere before anyone … Read more
Josh O’Connor Wears Dior for Disclosure Day Josh O’Connor has been making the promotional rounds for Disclosure Day, the new sci-fi thriller directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo. But while the film comes with all the blockbuster machinery one expects from Spielberg — secrecy, spectacle, the … Read more
Gigi Hadid was seen leaving her home in New York carrying the kind of bag that does not try to be a Birkin — and that may be exactly the point. The bag in question? The Loro Piana Loom Bag. Does it have the power to dethrone Hermès? Not literally. The Birkin and Kelly are … Read more
The Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop is not just a watch collaboration. It is a colourful pocket watch, a collectible accessory, and possibly luxury watchmaking’s answer to Labubu.
Jonathan Anderson has just given Dior’s historic Medallion Chair a new chapter. And, voilà, the Dior Medallion Chair is suddenly more interesting than another sculptural shoe, trophy bag, or another red carpet dress trying to look like architecture with Wi-Fi. This is not because we suddenly want to replace our wardrobes with furniture. Although, frankly, … Read more

Originating from the Pyrenees region, nestled between France and Spain, the espadrilles boast soles crafted from jute or plant-based rope. Whether gracing the feet of King of Aragon’s soldiers or making fashion statements on Salvador Dali and Yves Saint Laurent, espadrilles have stood the test of time. As you wander through the vibrant streets of … Read more
The flip-flop was never supposed to be elegant. It was too flat, too rubbery, too practical, too close to real life. And yet, here we are: in 2026, a red Havaianas x Zara pair is becoming the small summer object everyone suddenly understands. The return did not happen overnight. In 2023, at Dior’s Fall show … Read more
Dior Cruise 2027 arrived in Los Angeles with headlights, flowers, Bar jackets and the ghost of old Hollywood. Jonathan Anderson’s first Cruise collection for the maison was not only about clothes, but about cinema, memory and the strange glamour of being watched.
There is something almost funny about the return of the Longchamp Le Pliage. For years, it lived in that complicated corner of fashion reserved for pieces we associated with school runs, airport terminals, university libraries and the practical side of grown-up life. Then, almost without warning, it reappeared on the arms of Gen Z girls … Read more
Andalusia summer destination #1. Why? A region of layered history, architectural beauty, remarkable food, and summer addresses worth saving.
