FOR THE SECOND YEAR in a row, Giambattista Valli did not stage an haute couture show, opting instead for an exhibition of his spring collection, open to the public. “Sometimes the fashion world is too exclusive and sometimes it’s nice to be inclusive,” the designer told Vogue. An open presentation was held at the National Gallery de Jeux Pom in Paris.
Have been working on my wardrobe for a while know, re-editing my closet and the pieces I am buying and it’s still a work in progress to create the ideal capsule wardrobe ...
IN DECEMBER we wrote about the Fluffy White Coat Mini Trend, and now we're bringing you a parallel trend this winter season: the Teddy Bear Coat. Oversized and cosy, it's not only a favourite of fashionistas and influencers everywhere, but also of celebrities like Katie Holmes and models Elsa Hosk and Rosie Huntington Whiteley ...
Started a new year today reflecting on the year we leave behind and happy to realise some of the resolutions were happily accomplished, while other will still be on the list this year as well.
WINTER IS NOT OUR favourite time of year. Sure we love Christmas and in February we're into Valentine's Day, but we do not love the cold at all. And on this Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, we're optimistically looking at ways to make the best of this season by keeping cosy in Down Puffer Trench Coats, V-neck jumpers and Merino wool pullovers, hoodies, faux shearling and wool blend trousers...
Daniela and I often talk about Mini Trends, the most recent being tracksuits with blazers, and she noticed at the same time I did that everyone seemed to be wearing big, fluffy white coats lately. Whether faux fur or shearling, they look so warm and cosy and perfect for a winter's day. Here is a round-up of a few of our favourite long white winter coats and ways to style them...
WE HAVE BEEN BUSY with new designs at Belgrave Crescent over the past few months, include some new lightweight totes and small should/crossbody bags that we're really excited about...
BY NOW YOU KNOW where we stand on leopard print here at TIG: it's a fashion classic that endures across the seasons, year after year and considered a neutral as far as we're concerned.

IF YOU HAD THOUGHT that the athleisure trend wasn't going to last, you're probably beginning to realise, five years along, that not only is it here to stay, but it's only just beginning...
Season after season, there is always one trendy piece that Parisians are the most interested in investing in, and it is the shearling flight or aviator leather jacket.
If you’re like us and thought anything puffy could only go with a chunky trainer, you’ll be as surprised as we were to see how well it can go with dangly earrings and a strappy sandal.
Have been loving the weather lately: all the colour changing in the parks and watching the leaves turn during my strolls. The days are cooler already so we are in need of big cosy knits, warm coats and chic layering.
Next to trench coats and cosy knits, leopard print and silk, our favourite trend of Autumn 2019 is the return of checks and plaids. Always classic in our view, checks and plaids in tweeds and bouclé are the perfect way to layer on cool autumn days, whether in a blazer, trench or coat. Here are a few of our favourite ways to wear the trend along with a few shopping links...
If you're as crazy for fall outfits as we are, you'll love that plaids and checks are back again, and this time, we're pairing the trend, in the form of a wool midi skirt, with a Georgia striped high-neck alpaca-blend sweater. Other items on our list include Byredo's Bibliothèque, newly available as an eau de parfum, an intoxicating scent of fruity peach and plum top notes, floral violet and peony accords, and an earthy base of patchouli, leather and vanilla that lingers on the skin and is perfect for autumn. There are also some beautiful new pieces of jewellery from The Shop―scroll down for our complete autumn shopping list...
