At the end of the decade, the shadow left by Chromatics’ inimitable output feels hard to overstate. The trio’s widescreen, darkly-lit brand of Italo disco has lingered, influencing everyone from ScHoolboy Q to Cigarettes After Sex, who have been stripping their songs for parts and retrofitting their singular, decades-past dance-noir for big-budget rap and pop.

EARLY OCTOBER and no one seems to be able to let go of whites just yet, pairing creamy silk slip skirts with cosy ecru turtlenecks or balloon sleeve maxi dresses with tall leather boots. Whether boiler suits or blazers, pleated dresses or cropped denim, autumn comes in shades of white...
Some might think that wicker is a summer thing, but the wicker items in The Shop have continued to be popular long after summer's end. If you're wondering how to take your wicker bag from summer to fall, a pair of blue jeans and a blazer are all it takes...
IN LATE MAY we went on holiday to the south of France for a few days, and then to Scotland for nearly a month. During that time, we ventured to England on day trips, and it was during this time that we fell absolutely in love with the English countryside and thought it might be fun to have a look at places that might be available in any one of the very quaint and utterly charming villages and towns we found along the way...
My everyday style has changed throughout the past three years, and one of the things I learned from my job is that minimal pieces are the most important buys.
It's the first of October and there's nothing left to do but to finally (and wistfully) let go of summer and welcome autumn's moody skies and blustery, windblown mornings. What better way to do it than to plan cosy autumn soirée's? When we came across Maximilian Sinsteden's table setting for dinner at home with friends on Instagram, we knew it was the perfect inspiration for this time of year...
WE ENDED UP watching the entire series of Fleabag in the late evenings over the past week, preferring, already, to cosy up in front of the fire on these September nights. I have also been ordering soft camel-coloured wool jumpers and a new coat...
Pierpaolo Piccioli can do no wrong at Valentino. Creative Director since 2008, but only sole Creative Director of the Maison since 2016 with the exit of Maria Grazia Chiuri, he has really come into his own...
Cashmere Cat has released PRINCESS CATGIRL, a new album featuring contributions from SOPHIE, Tory Lanez, Benny Blanco, Tove Styrke, Kota Banks and more as well as samples of songs by Christina Aguilera and XXXTentacion.
WE DISCOVERED these stunning photos of Schloss Benrath (Benrath Palace) by @helenlovestulips on Instagram and immediately fell in love with the wonderfully over-the-top Baroque-style maison de plaisance (pleasure palace) in Benrath, now a borough of Düsseldorf...
DANIELA FIRST LED us to Massimo Dutti's Trend Report for Fall 2019. Titled First View Report the lookbook features Romanian model Andreea Diaconu in the latest trends and we love all the 70's inspired looks...
Mornings are crisp and grey, often there is rain and lights on in the windows, and with my current sleep routine (early sleeping and early rising) I am often spending mornings sipping coffee and going through some books...
LAST NIGHT I spilled an entire newly-filled Brita over my iMac keyboard and while it worked after the incident, the next morning, the spacebar (Have you ever tried typing a paragraph without a spacebar?), the enter and delete keys, the apostrophe (and perhaps more) were no longer working. In hindsight, should have dried it out facedown overnight, but as it is now, it is most likely ruined, never to return to the way it was. On Friday morning, we left for London...
What makes Paris so amazing lately is definitely its style. I have been observing Parisians for a while now and what I realize is that there is a fine line between between formal and décontracté, as they call it, and they blend it quite effortlessly when achieving this great style so typical theirs.
