LAST WEEK, we stopped by the Tate Modern for a brief visit. Long enough to view a Klein, a few Lichtensteins, and a Modigliani. We prefer the Tate Britain, but we hadn't been to the Modern yet, so it was time.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Those aren’t just lyrics from the Queen song “Bohemian Rhapsody.” They’re also the questions that the brain must constantly answer while processing streams of visual signals from the eyes and purely mental pictures bubbling out of the imagination.
IF YOU'RE in the midst of a Corporate Girl Summer and need outfit inspiration, we've got just the thing: the ever classic tan trousers (or pants in other parts of the world) with a crisp white shirt combination, the perfect soft neutrals for summer days.
DESCRIBED as a rising star, French photographer Robin Galiegue is fairly new to the fashion scene, despite having worked behind the scenes for many years. The photographer took his first picture when he was just 14 years old...
YOU LOVED our High-Waisted Shorts for Summer Days selections so much, we couldn’t wait to share another variation of this look. Instead of cream or beige-coloured shorts with white or blue shirts, this alternative involves mixing black tops and white shorts.
YOU CAN ALWAYS tell when the tennis is on, because all the supermarkets run out of cream for everyone’s strawberries and cream. You can also tell because tennis fashion comes around again, with everyone rushing order tennis dresses and skirts (skorts?).
IT IS MIDSUMMER and our very favourite time of year. We love the long, hot sunny days, and all the wonderful things that this time of year brings: picnics in the park and Thames-side bicycle rides, drinks on outdoor terraces and high ponytails and bronzed skin.
… And so on, until the 36th person types “Good morning,” and the work day can begin. It’s nine in the morning, and Alexia D., a graphic designer, types the final “Good morning.” No one dares skip the greeting. Not Alexia, not anyone. If she does, the team leader will log her as absent, even if 10 minutes later she is on the screen with her work completed and a smile on her face, ready to review project updates.
If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from walking your dog with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you’d been struggling with, it may not be a fluke. Rather than constantly grinding away at a problem or desperately seeking a flash of inspiration, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs or epiphanies when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought—an activity in which you’re basically on autopilot.
WE HAVE BEEN eating salads and chick peas and tofu and taking many vitamins (especially B12) and tomorrow, it will be a month since we've had any alcohol. It's a reset of sorts, and it's been good to get things back on track after so many hot summery day indulgences. Last Wednesday we went up to Scotland to visit P's 94-year-old grandmother and on the way home, stopped for dinner in a small town in Cumbria that we'd been to once before, but only briefly ...
THERE IS only one bank holiday weekend left this summer, in the last week of August, so there feels like an urgency to wear all of our favourite summer outfits before it's too late. While the Double Denim trend can transition into autumn, this trend, a white top with cream-coloured pants definitely belongs to the warmer months. Whether tucked or untucked, a t-shirt or a blouse, ankle-length pants or long pleated trousers, here are a few ways we like to style this mini trend...
STOCKHOLM-born Felicia Akerstrom's impeccable style has been featured here at TIG many times before. The blogger, digital influencer and content creator describes her social channels as a visual diary of her style and travels. We love her minimalistic style and her effortless high-low mix of investment pieces and affordable finds. From long skirts and light-knit sweaters to white pantsuits and black halter dresses, here are a few of our favourite looks...
HAVE YOU EVER come across an editorial that is so good that you wondered how you missed it? This editorial, entitled, Ultra-Marine, is one of those. Published in Vogue Paris (before the name change), it features Luna Bijl, a Dutch fashion model who was one of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld’s muses ...
It has been a while since the city has been so busy and filled with joy and laughter and traffic. And this change is in part thanks to the fashion community, who are finally back in the city to celebrate being back with their colleagues again, to reconnect with designers and P.R. and to assist with the shows ...
There are no big trends this season, with the exception of slingback pumps from Prada, everything orange, and lots cable-knit sets. For the first time in a long time, I can say that this is the season where styling comes before the trends. There is less attention on what you buy, but what you do with the pieces you buy or already have.
