Featured in SoEdited their exclusive fashion shoot focusing on empowering women. Femininity is defined differently by every woman. To some, it may be pink frills, but to others it may be portrayed in a vision of black. Many ballerinas struggle with low self-esteem because of the competitive nature of ballet. This often causes depression, anxiety and eating disorders. We recognise the dark side of ballet, and the importance of empowering women to be confidant in their bodies, mind and personal style.       EDITORIAL TEAM

Created in 2009, the new talent initiative is worth £20,000 across three seasons and has been created to support and develop new designer businesses on a global level.

Reworked denims, recycled leathers and re-used plastic and lace scraps are paired alongside striking and daring silhouettes, bold illustrative prints/embroideries and a playground of textures to add a youthful,contemporary and luxurious flair to each piece. The young designer was recently shortlisted as a finalist in the ASOS Fashion Discovery 2018, and is a triple- award winner of the globally-acclaimed ITS 2018, where she took home a hat trick of awards acrossboth Fashion and Artwork categories - The Diesel Award, The Vogue Talents Award and The ITS Time For Coffee Award.
Article: Christopher George Photography: Simon Armstrong Pam Hogg AW19 collection hits the London catwalk with its usual splendour and rock fantastic attitude. This season we see a range of cutting edge tailoring from the queen or pattern cutting, acid colours and belted restraints. A more wearable collection for AW19, but still punching a POW in visual terms, along with belted bondage strapping, studs and leather crafted superbly bringing together a dynamic and slick season to come.

Editorial: Christopher George Autumn/Winter 2019-20, Paul Costelloe shows his mastery of tailoring. With striking, military inspired coats in pure Italian wool, they lead a collection full of rich colour, reminiscent of the Tsars. Opulent, mill-engineered velvet corduroy with a lavish handle, in autumnal shades of gold and claret, add to an array of flower strewn day to evening pieces, including pencil skirts with over-sized Aran knitwear, day dresses in subtle woven patterns and aristocratic inspired long, billowing gowns, fit for a princess. In the true style of Costelloe, the collection is feminine yet bold and powerful. Harping back to a more glamorous time while still being modern for todays woman.

It is heavily inspired by glam rock culture, when British youth were navigating the transition between the idyllic and idealistic 60’s to the more confrontational economic downturn of the 70’s. The era became about dancing your teenage worries away in your glittered-up faces and shaggy fur coats. But life goes on.

And the place to be is Blade Soho, where you get to sip cherry brandy cocktails whilst being pampered. More like a house party than a salon, this funky little place on Frith Street is the opposite of corporate, and the friendly, rather than pretentious stylists will make sure you are well at home. The listed building in central Soho, means it can’t change it’s layout, but the low ceilings and wonky stairs add to the appeal. The drinks licence means that the salon can serve alcohol to clients over 18, and the hairclubbing “club” is the perfect place to start a night out, a pep up before brunch or a Sunday afternoon chill session. When you have gossip that can’t wait, this is the ultimate pre-night out where the fun can start with your girl friends, all enjoying cocktails whilst you (or all of you) as you get preened for a big night out. With a wide range of biodynamic wines, craft beers, whiskies and signature specialties, you can have exactly what you want, rather than a just a lukewarm coffee. (Although a wide selection of coffees and speciality teas are available).. Nothing is done by halves, and the established salon / members bar has worked the system so you can get two friends in when you come for a trim/blow dry/new look. The founders are Stroo and Julia a couple who have been together for seventeen years! In fact, Julia cut musician Stroo’s hair and he came back to the salon the next day to ask her out. With super cool music, you might even be lucky to book in on an acoustic jam session night. After works drinks, date night, no decent hair salons in Surbiton? There are a million reasons why clients come along to the friendly pad on Frith street, its open seven days a week, and you can bring your pooch! No kids tho.. So for a friendly, welcoming approach to hair cutting, join the club. Oh and I recommend the Cherry Lipstick!
