Secret shopping: 45R arrives in London

Secret shopping: 45R arrives in London

Japanese slow fashion brand, 45R has just opened its London outpost at 6 Brook Street, selling its cult denim, lived in knits and quilted outerwear. The Americans may be the originators but the Japanese are experts at producing artisan-quality denim that you’ll keep for years. (At 45R they hover between £350 and £800 which gives you an idea of the level of quality we’re talking about.)

I don’t…

Gentlewoman style: the menswear edit

Gentlewoman style: the menswear edit

Are trends irrelevant? I think not. We still like to have a bit of a direction steer when we shop, otherwise it’s just a wall of product. For me, I have my perennial go-to trends that swing in and out of popularity. At the moment, ‘gentlewoman style’ is in, that borrowed-from-menswear-but-softened-up look epitomised by Phoebe Philo, Rejina Pyo and Louise Trotter (recently departed from Joseph).

Positive fashion: For Days zero-waste tees

Positive fashion: For Days zero-waste tees

I like the sound of this ‘closed loop’ T-shirt company that works on a subscription model – with a difference. You sign up to get one, two or three tees a month and when your tee is looking worse for wear, you can return it in exchange for another one. The old tee gets broken down into pulp and upcycled into new stock.

The For Daystees look great, made in L.A. from organic, American-grown…

Positive fashion: Lennox & Harvey

Positive fashion: Lennox & Harvey

I’m currently trying to have a mammoth declutter. I’ve been in my house for eleven years and amassed a ton of stuff that I don’t really need or use. Admittedly, part of the appeal of going back to zero is the temptation to start acquiring things again. But useful things. Timeless things. Things like the kind of wares sold at Lennox & Harvey, a ‘contemporary general store’ just opened in Martha’s…

Personalised scent at Ormonde Jayne

Personalised scent at Ormonde Jayne

I had my first Ormonde Jayne scent experience a few weeks ago, in the newly refurbished boutique in Royal Arcade, off Old Bond Street. The store has been in this little arcade for 17 years and founder Linda Pilkington told me that most of the arcade neighbours (think Paul Smith, Meyrowitz eyewear and Charbonnel & Walker) have been there just as long. Not only that, but there’s a community of…

First look at the Net-a-Porter fine jewellery and watch suite

First look at the Net-a-Porter fine jewellery and watch suite

After a small blip, Net-a-Porter has finally unveiled its shiny new sub section. And the result is just that – beautiful, sleek and very chic. Back story: Net-a-Porter announced it would be upping its hard luxury game a few weeks ago with a proposed go-live date of mid April. In typical tech fashion, it wasn’t ready in time so was pushed to the end of the month. And now here it is,the final edit…
