CHRISTMAS WINDOWS – RALPH LAUREN
This is not so much a window as it is a store front because brands, especially with their stand alone stores are often at a disadvantage somewhat because of the range of products to play with; as opposed to the department stores that can flex their muscle which is why I am always harder on…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS – HARRODS
We’ve been here before. Where’s the story? What is the narrative? This feels cold as cold as the gold and clinical, sterile even. Yes we know; Harrods is the home of extraordinary luxury, unparalleled if you ask me, and it will not be bested on that front by a mile, but this is a Christmas…

WAR MAKES REFUGEES OF US ALL
I cannot debate the rights or wrongs of war because, besides not being aptly qualified, my simplistic view is that in most wars there are no right sides; a view that lacks nuance or allows for exceptions.

DAME MAGGIE SMITH : FASHION ICON
The second I saw the images from Loewe’s SS 2024 campaign my body bolted upright because finally, finally, fashion is paying attention. I don’t recall anything quite like it.

THE LONDON SUMMER WALK
Get ready to see London in all its wonderful glory, because there is nowhere quite like London in the summer, it is pure vibes and good times.

ON ART – CURATING A COLLECTION
I know no one who loves art like my sister, she would do most anything for a work of art that she loves, we have entered auctions together and held hands in the nail biting countdown to a winning bid. It is a drug and the high last forever, as long as you see the…

#9 | A Diamond Ring
Logan wanted to do this with his siblings, he had no idea why he has kept them in the dark about Francesca, but he knows how things would be once they get to meet her. He wants to have her to himself for a little while yet. Not that they wouldn’t love her, they will,…
