In the final part of our four-week series with jewellery designer Vickie Riggs, the conversation turns toward the future of fine jewellery. Riggs has always balanced artistry with integrity, and here she reflects on what it means to create beauty responsibly.

In the first instalment of our four-part interview series with Melony Huber, the founder and design director of La Peony , we delve into the journey that led her from studying biology and working in construction to creating an ethical women’s luxury brand. Huber’s path has been anything but conventional, yet each chapter — from her early curiosity about the natural world to raising three children — has informed her distinctive approach to fashion. With a keen eye for colour,

In an era where wellness and beauty often sit in separate conversations, Katelyn Ellsworth and her business partner Michelle are breaking down the divide. Together they founded Active COCO , a brand born from experience, innovation, and a shared belief that self-care should move seamlessly with an active lifestyle. Designed to protect hair before water exposure, Active COCO bridges the gap between beauty and performance, offering practical luxury for those who live life on th

There are few places in London that feel more everyday than a Tube platform. The hum of commuters, the metallic echo of trains, the gentle scent of diesel and determination. But for one evening at Charing Cross Underground Station, that familiar rhythm gave way to something unexpected. Beneath the city’s pavements, the worlds of food and fashion collided in a show that could only be described as gloriously eccentric. Hosted by CNIEL, the French Dairy Interbranch Organisation,

In the third part of our four-week interview series with jewellery designer Vickie Riggs, we turn to the world of fashion, where jewellery transforms from an accessory into an attitude. Riggs believes that while clothing sets the tone, jewellery delivers the punctuation, a glimmer of gold, a flash of gemstone, the moment an outfit finds its voice. Drawing on her background in advertising and design, she brings an eye for balance, proportion and storytelling to every creation.

In Zurich, sustainability doesn’t shout, it drives quietly in the slow lane, letting its substance do the talking. FREITAG, the cult bag brand known for turning Europe’s worn out truck tarps into urban icons, has found yet another way to turn yesterday’s waste into something oddly irresistible. Enter the Lucky Trucking Charms, a new series of one off accessories that transform production leftovers into miniature style statements with attitude. F213 MINI MESSENGER - Credits: J

In the second part of our four-week series with jewellery designer Vickie Riggs, we explore how storytelling lives within the shimmer of a gemstone. For Riggs, each stone carries a quiet narrative — a pulse of memory, emotion and history waiting to be revealed. Her work is about more than craftsmanship, it is about connection. Whether she is reimagining a family heirloom or selecting a gem for a new design, Riggs listens for the story within the stone and the person who will

" I learned more in six months of near bankruptcy than in six years of growth ,” says Samuel Onuha, founder of icon Amsterdam. Streetwear’s early success was built on hype: overnight queues, limited sneaker drops, and graphics designed to disappear after a single season. But a generational shift is underway. According to a 2023 ThredUp report, 65% of Gen Z consumers prefer buying fewer, higher-quality items, and 45% consider durability one of the top three factors in their fa

This week marks the beginning of our new four-part interview series with jewellery designer Vickie Riggs, a creator whose work bridges the raw beauty of the natural world with the refinement of fine craftsmanship. For Riggs, every design begins not in the studio but in the soil. Her artistry draws from the landscapes of her childhood, from Kansas wheat fields to the distant rise of the Rocky Mountains, transforming those memories into pieces that feel both timeless and deeply

The streets of Taipei have always thrived on contradiction. Between the glint of modern architecture and the hum of night markets lies a city that continues to redefine itself. This season, Taipei Fashion Week SS26 brought that duality to the runway, blending heritage with forward-thinking design. The event spotlighted the new guard of Taiwanese creativity, where culture met innovation and identity found new form. More than a showcase of garments, SS26 became a study in persp

How new creative directors are reshaping beauty culture from Dior to Versace decoded by hair stylist Mark Hampton.

Silvia Venturini Fendi is gracefully transitioning from the design helm to become the house’s honorary president. Across Versace, Mugler, and Carven, new creative voices ar

There are few streets in the world where heritage breathes quite as effortlessly as it does on Savile Row. A place where history is sewn into every stitch and where craftsmanship has long been a quiet rebellion against mass production. This autumn, the Row adds another chapter to its story as it joins the fifteenth anniversary of the Campaign for Wool, an initiative founded by His Majesty King Charles III to champion one of nature’s most remarkable fibres.

Authenticity has become one of fashion’s favourite buzzwords yet few embody it quite like ELTORIA. The creator and founder of STRETCHSUIT has built a brand and a voice rooted in lived experience rather than fleeting trends. In this final interview of the four-part series with Hinton Magazine , she explores what it really means to remain authentic in an industry driven by reinvention and image.
