“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
Fashion has already found a wardrobe for the age of artificial intelligence. Matrix dressing, gorpcore and handmade craft reveal our fascination with technology, our fear of its fragility and our desire to remain unmistakably human.

Fortunately, our editors love a change of season, and autumn is one of our favourites … Read more
The cross necklace is one of those rare accessories that can be both deeply personal and immediately understood. Worn close to the heart, it may remind us of our faith, a First Communion, a grandmother or simply the promise that we are not alone. It also communicates something. A cross is never quite as neutral … Read more
The funnel-neck trench is shaping up to be one of early autumn’s smartest coat choices. We trace the silhouette’s history, explain why it feels so relevant now, and look at the new COS version bringing it back into focus.
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
We are living through a strange moment in fashion, when logos no longer mean luxury. They may still mean access, taste, money, or a very cooperative credit card. A Hermès bag, for instance, certainly suggests connections and resources. But it does not necessarily prove a luxurious life. There is a difference between buying signs of … Read more
Jewellery as a style signature is the easiest way to look well-edited without buying a new wardrobe. Same jeans, same white shirt, same trench, but the jewellery decision changes the whole message. It shifts the focal point, adjusts proportions, and tells people who you are before you’ve even ordered your coffee. The good news for … Read more

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 strangely provocative about a grown woman in pink. Not because pink is rare. We have lived through Barbiecore, millennial pink, ballet flats, blush interiors, and enough rose-coloured satin to decorate a small palace. Pink is everywhere. And yet, when a woman wears it with intention, the room still hesitates. Too sweet? Too … Read more

Ballet-inspired shoes are no longer only classic flats. This summer, satin trainers, soft sneakerinas and refined ballet flats bring comfort, movement and quiet elegance to everyday dressing.
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
Wedding looks are never entirely universal. What makes sense for a beach ceremony in Comporta will not work for a Catholic wedding in Vienna, and what feels perfectly judged at an English country church may seem oddly formal at a civil ceremony in Paris. Geography changes the dress code. Culture changes it too. Still, one … Read more
I live in jeans — not only because they are easy and comfortable, but because they remain one of the most flattering trousers ever invented. My holy trinity? Blue, black, and beige.

A smart summer wardrobe is not about buying every trend. For 2026, think breathable fabrics, relaxed cuts, a curated colour palette, and textures that bring depth.
Fashion is going through an identity crisis. Designers, terrified of missing sales targets, are playing it too safe.

But don’t worry, here come some … Read more
