New Balance join forces with Cat Burns on the 204L silhouette
We love an iconic duo, and we can't think of one better than former cover star Cat Burns and sportswear giant New Balance. The pair have teamed up on a fresh new campaign for the 204L trainers. This low-profile silhouette blends the slim structure of '70s running shoes with tech-inspired texture of synthetic and mesh.
Pulling design elements from past and present New Balance favourites, the 204L feels familiar, yet new. It comes in four unique colourways, and we'll be adding all of them to our baskets...
Charlotte Simone's annual archive sale is here, and you can grab cult items from as low as £50
IYKYK — Charlotte Simone is the designer behind every it-girls outerwear. From the likes of EmRata, Dua Lipa, Charli XCX and of course, our very own cover star Molly Mae, the London-based label's furry creations are seriously covetable.
The archive sale, which launched last week and features a whole host of recognisable styles, is an opportunity to dip into a treasure trove of surplus stock, development samples and one-of-a-kind pieces. It's a last chance for customers to get the coat they missed out on from Simone's previous one-week winter drops – a unique, sustainable business model she has become known for. While the drops tend to feature between 18 to 20 products, the archive sale has over 180 pieces, with sizes ranging from XS – XXL, and prices from £50-£500.
But the countdown is on, as the sale ends this Wednesday 1st April at 8pm, so it's time to get your orders in before it's too late...

The dazzling new exhibition Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art opens at the V&A
The V&A never misses, and it's latest exhibition is no exception. Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art explores the work of legendary designer Elsa Schiaparelli, who founded her Parisian fashion house in 1927, and continues right up to the current day with current creative director Daniel Roseberry, whose red-carpet-ready looks have been worn by the likes of Bella Hadid, Cardi B, Lady Gaga and many more. The halls are filled to the brim with surreal, boundary pushing designs, which highlight the rich, bohemian life Schiaparelli herself let — put simply, for any fashion or art lover, this is a must-see.

Yep, one of our favourite jewellery brands has joined forces with one of our favourite TV shows on a jewellery edit inspired by the romance, fantasy and charm of the Netflix hit series. Featuring delicate gems, elegant pearls and pastel shades befitting a diamond (should Queen Charlotte deem you worthy, of course), the 14-piece collection captures the show’s playful irreverence perfectly. See the jewel-studded teabag charm – ya know, so you can spill the tea á la Lady Whistledown.

H&M x Glenn Martens is coming!
For fashion aficionados with eyes bigger than their budgets (hi, it's me), H&M's designer collaborations are an event as exciting as Christmas. And this year, the high street stalwart is treating us to two! Following on from its collaboration with Magda Butrym in April, H&M has revealed it will be releasing a collection with Glenn Martens, the creative director of Maison Margiela and Diesel, on October 30.
Combining womenswear, menswear, unisex pieces and accessories, the collection oozes the Belgian designer's signature edge that feels distinctly British when paired with national treasures Joanna Lumley and Richard E Grant modelling voluminous denim, reconfigured knitwear and oversized trench coats. What's particularly exciting about the collection is the use of reshaping techniques, from foil inner layers to wired collars and hems, allowing the wearer to bend and shape their clothing into sculptural forms as if frozen in a non-existent breeze.
“It was great fun to be a part of Glenn Martens’s and H&M’s special family portrait. I always say that the best fashion is rule-breaking – people should wear whatever they want to wear – and I admire Glenn’s daring spirit and eye for twisting things in unusual ways,” Joanna Lumley said of her involvement in the campaign shoot for the collaboration. Mark your calendars!
Whistles collaborates with Australian footwear brand, ESSEN
French girls may have a reputation for being chic AF, but if we could snap our fingers and magically be in any country for an all-day shopping extravaganza, it would easily be Australia – home to *so* many great brands we can't easily access in the UK. Well, Whistles is sparing you the 24-hour flight and bringing a little piece of Oz to the Great British High Street with their latest collaboration, Whistles x ESSEN, to bring the footwear label to UK stores for the very first time.
The six-piece capsule collection consists of a ballet flat, Mary Jane and sock boot, each available in two colourways and possessing a sleek, minimal design that stays true to ESSEN's signature aesthetic. Top of our wishlist? The brown suede ballet flats that perfectly tap into the suede fashion trend.
Julia Fox is the face of Agent Provocateur's AW25 collection
We couldn't think of a better pairing than Agent Provocateur and Julia Fox. I mean, the ultimate in sexy lingerie meets an all-around icon?! Genius. Naturally, the campaign photos are just as steamy as you'd imagine, showing Julia in an array of statement underwear consisting of cheekily embroidered sheer tulle bra and thong sets, stud-embellished hold-ups and stockings, delicate floral lace bodysuits and more.

Kate Spade's latest launch is four bags in one (yes, really)
Amongst the delights of Kate Spade's autumn/winter 2025 collection, we immediately spotted Kate Spade's new season hero item: The Duo bag. Technically two bags – a crescent-shaped style accompanied by a mini zip-front attachment – featuring adjustable and removable straps, the bag can be worn in four (!!) different ways, be it crossbody, shoulder, clutch or as a belt bag. Pretty impressive, IMO. Available in an array of colourways and finishes, we're all for a bag that works as hard as you do.
Headphones on — Chopova Lowena team up with Sony
We are huge fans of London design duo Chopova Lowena, and are eagerly awaiting their annual London Fashion Week show this September. To satiate our appetite in the meantime, the ultimate cool-girl brand has just dropped a ruffle, tartan shoulder bag in collaboration with Sony, complete with WH-1000XM6 headphones (perfectly secured by silver stud poppers, of course). With an adjustable buckle strap reminiscent of their ever-popular kilts, and a silver charm adorned zipper, this has gone straight to the top of our wishlist. Suggestions for what track you'd listen to first on a postcard pls... The Alto bag is available exclusively at Dover Street Market London.
Singer Griff gets SportStyle with Asics
Asics' JOG 100S™ trainer gets an update — the traditional running shoe has been reimagined with patent overlays, ruffle trims, and a majorly trending polka-dot pattern throughout the mesh. Available in both black and white colourways, the new style is modelled by none other than singer Griff. Shot in London, the campaign showcases how movement uplifts her and "how freeing it can feel to move like no one’s watching". We hear that! The trainers are now available to buy from Asics.com and exclusive retailers.
Stanley collaborates with LoveShackFancy
Our love for our Stanley quencher cup knows no bounds, but if you've been looking for an excuse to upgrade your go-to water bottle, let us introduce you to Stanley's latest collaboration with LoveShackFancy. AKA the brand behind the gorgeously feminine, floral frilled dresses. Natch, the signature 40 oz tumbler has been decorated with a pink pastel print, complete with a bow-adorned straw cover. Hydration never looked so pretty!
Kendall Jenner fronts Alo's autumn 2025 campaign
Seamlessly blending activewear with daily wardrobe staples, Alo's new ‘Luxury is Wellness’ collection (rolling out in store and online throughout October) has us seriously excited for autumn. From brand favourites in new colourways to all-new product launches – hello, Alo Runner – it's not just the gorge clothes that have piqued our interest. Kendall Jenner's involvement may have something to do with it, too.
Yep, the longtime muse and global icon is reuniting with the brand to front the campaign, consisting of a curated capsule of 10 minimal, elevated essentials, all hand-selected by Kendall herself.
“ALO’s whole philosophy around wellness really reflects how I try to live; being intentional and taking care of myself from the inside out. Whether I’m traveling, on set, or just at home recharging, I always come back to the little rituals that keep me grounded. That’s what ALO is all about,” the model shared.
“I’ve been connected to the brand for years, so creating this campaign together, especially in such a beautiful and peaceful place, made it all the more special.”
Jean Paul Gaultier x Crocs is happening
Yes, you read that correctly. Following in the footsteps of Simone Rocha and Balenciaga, today Crocs announced it would be teaming up with legendary French fashion label Jean Paul Gaultier.
The collection will take inspiration from the house's most recognisable designs, such as the iconic corset and cone bra made famous by Madonna and Gaultier's signature safety pin motif. We've got no further details at this stage, but the collection will be available to shop in August, so there's not too long to wait. Stay tuned...
Flip-flops top the Q2 Lyst Index
It feels like we’ve been saying it for months, but shopping platform Lyst’s quarterly report (released today) has confirmed that flip-flops are indeed summer's biggest must-have item. The Row’s £670 Dune pair, which have been sported by everyone from Jonathan Bailey to Lori Harvey, came in at the number one slot to be crowned the quarter's "hottest product".

To compile the results, Lyst analyses the online shopping behaviour of more than 160 million shoppers — and the appetite for toe-baring shoes doesn’t stop there. 6 of this quarter's 10 hottest products are footwear, including Ancient Greek Sandals Iro jelly shoes and the Vibram FiveFinger V-Soul. Who would have thought feet would become so fashionable?
Other top ranking products include Adidas’ three-stripe sport shorts, Miu Miu’s boat shoes and Isabel Marant’s wedge trainers. See the full list of top brands and products here.
Topshop's big comeback
It seems the Topshop renaissance is almost upon us. Last week, the brand announced it would be making its return to the runway after almost a decade — but not as a part of London Fashion Week, as it once was. Both Topshop and Topman will present a ‘See Now, Buy Now’ show in August, which will be open to the public at a “landmark London location”. Final details are to come, but in an even more nostalgic move, the brand are running an open casting call in collaboration with Wilhelmina Models — meaning you can apply to walk in the show. Britain's Next Top Model, anyone?
As if we weren’t already on the edge of our seats, today the former high-street favourite has teased an upcoming partnership with Cara Delevigne, naming her as the “face of its bold new era”. A curated 30-piece edit will be available exclusively on topshop.com from 16 August, and will feature sharp tailoring and statement outerwear, alongside reviving Millennial staples such as the Joni and Jamie jeans (IYKYK).
Cara Delevingne said: "As a London girl, Topshop was the place where fashion felt fun, fearless, and full of possibilities. Coming back to Topshop now is more than a return – it’s about starting something new. This collection is about owning your style, your story, and feeling empowered to express that every day."
Cara has a long history with Topshop — she first made an appearance in a film for Kate Moss's 2010 collection, and later became the global face of the brand herself in 2014. She was a runway regular for Topshop Unique, opening and closing the London Fashion Week show in 2014 to coincide with her campaign (which also featured an appearance from Hailey Bieber, then Baldwin).
In this full circle moment, the pair have big plans for the future. Another larger capsule collection is reportedly already in development for the 2026/27 season, and will be built around a shared vision of a sustainable, inclusive, and forward-thinking approach to fashion, with a focus on quality materials and design (which old Topshop was renowned for).
“Cara is the perfect embodiment of the Topshop spirit—bold, creative, and unapologetically herself,” said Michelle Wilson, Topshop Managing Director. “This partnership is more than a campaign; it’s a statement of intent as we reintroduce Topshop to the world. We’re bringing together cultural relevance, design credibility, and a new energy that speaks to how people want to dress today.”
