Innholdsfortegnelse for February/March 2026 i HELLO! Fashion Monthly

On an icy cold day, H! Fashion’s team gathered in east London for a scorching photoshoot that belied the sinking mercury outside (the weather forecast was punctuated with snow for the week ahead). The reason for the rise in temperature? Well, the top-notch talents of our photography and styling teams naturally, plus our red-hot cover girl, model Eva Apio. Our fashion features editor Tania chatted with Eva about everything from her incredible Evapiofoundation that helps young people in Uganda, to modelling, philosophy and everything in between. The shoot day rounded out with a showstopping Emma Brewin faux fur hat, teamed with a Skims bodysuit, amazing fuzzy boots by Christian Louboutin and a team positively buzzing thanks to copious coffee runs. January blues? We think not. The only blue we’re tolerating…

While most, if not all of us, were sharing banana bread recipes over Instagram and staying in our pyjamas till noon during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020, New Zealand-born artist Stella Bennett, better known by her musical moniker, Benee, was becoming a global pop sensation. After the release of her song Supalonely, which has now garnered over 788m streams on Spotify, a viral TikTok dance and the attention of the Grammys, the Gen-Z singer and songwriter quickly secured herself a spot amongst the musical elite, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. It’s no secret that her early 20s were nothing short of a whirlwind. From playing to hundreds of thousands at Coachella to collaborating on tracks with Lily Allen and Grimes, both of which she describes…

Denim has always been the slightly unruly child of the fashion family – too rebellious to be kept in its workwear corner, it was inevitable that the beloved fabric would wrestle its way into the sartorial spotlight. It’s a fabric that can look at home anywhere and somehow manages to look even better the more you mistreat it. Before we dive into the denim trends spotted on the SS26 runways, it’s worth remembering that denim’s story begins far from the runway. Born in the rugged 19th century as a hardworking cloth for miners, cowboys and labourers – denim was never meant to be glamorous. But we all know fashion loves a good plot twist and the fabric soon wandered its way into popular culture. From Brooke Shields’ iconic 80s Calvin…

Few makeup artists have shaped the modern beauty scene quite like Mario Dedivanovic or, as the world knows him, Makeup by Mario. From redefining contouring alongside Kim Kardashian, to building one of the most coveted artistry-led brands on the market, Mario has become a name synonymous with meticulous technique. His signature? Skin that looks like skin, smoky eyes that captivate and an attention to detail that borders on perfectionism. His story begins far from the red carpet – on the shop floor of a Sephora store in New York, where he first fell in love with the transformative power of makeup. Now, he’s celebrating over 25 years of artistry. “This milestone feels as surreal as when I assisted my very first customer in selecting the perfect red lipstick and, of…

REWILDING LEGACY WILDLAND, SCOTLAND Killiehuntly Farmhouse sits quietly beneath the peaks, hills, if you are local, of the Cairngorms National Park. At heart, it’s a historic Highland hunting lodge, but step inside and you’re met with something unexpected: beautifully restrained Danish design layered with warmth and texture. The kind of place that feels instantly grounding. This tiny treasure offers four elegant bedrooms in the main farmhouse, alongside three self-catering cottages on the land. There are two drawing rooms made for sinking into armchairs in front of roaring fires, a decadent greenhouse where mornings begin with coffee and evenings stretch into star-gazing, a slow-burning sauna yurt and a yoga studio that hums quietly with calm. There may be no formal spa, but booking a massage with the resident therapist is if…

THE ALBUM: LANA DEL REY, STOVE Marking her first album since early 2023, Lana Del Rey has announced that her tenth studio album, Stove, is hitting streaming services in January 2026. If the rumours are true, the new project will see a foray into country music, veering away from her usual ethereal, baroque pop genre. THE ART BOOK: MY HEART IS THIS, TRACEY EMIN ON PAINTING Coined as one of the most widely-admired artists working in Britain today, Tracey Emin’s new book takes an ultra-aesthetic deep dive into her life and art. Featuring photographs of her and her work, and accompanied by excerpts in her own words, Tracey reflects on painting, how she approaches it, why it matters to her and how it connects to her life. Available from 26 February,…

When Jonathan Anderson was announced as the creative director of Dior last year, the fashion world took a collective gasp. Since the announcement, the style set has been patiently awaiting the beloved Northern Irish designer’s first looks to land. And to celebrate the launch of his first collection, the French fashion house is opening a pop-up at iconic British department store Selfridges on the capital’s shopping playground of Oxford Street. We will almost certainly see you in the queue. The spot, in Selfridges’ Corner Shop, has been playfully reimagined, with decor inspired by the Dior boxes found in its very first boutique, called colifichets. And lining the shelves are the latest accessories including Jonathan Anderson’s reworking of the coveted Dior Book tote. Now transformed into book covers, each is embroidered…

1 Green machine Tones of vibrant green are set to take over the style sphere this spring, with pops of lime reigning supreme. From tulle skirts and suede mini bags, eating and wearing your greens has never looked chicer. 2 Choc chip Haven’t you heard? Brown hues are the new neutral, and when they look this good, who can complain? The art of layering comes in clutch for the new season ahead, with brown basics, outerwear and footwear style acting as the glue that holds any great outfit together. 3 Sandy steps A pair of great boots in brown and tan tones are the footwear equivalent of the humble Little Black Dress, just ask Sienna Miller and Chloé. Easy to style with anything and everything, the warm hue evokes a…

Few fashion icons encapsulate joy quite like Dame Zandra Rhodes. The legendary designer – known for dressing Freddie Mercury, Cher and Princess Diana (to name a small few), founding London’s Fashion and Textile Museum, and collaborating with brands from Celia B to Oceanus – has lived an incredible life washed in colour. And nowhere is that more apparent than in her home, the now-famous Rainbow Penthouse, perched above the museum in Bermondsey. The space is like a technicolour time capsule as well as her place of residence: a living archive of historic moments, creativity and one-of-a-kind artworks, each with a story only Zandra could tell. Blasé, honest and disarmingly down-to-earth, Zandra laughs as she recalls how the space, which she describes as being “colourful, eclectic and representative of my personality”,…

ARIES March 21 – April 19 A chapter of self-definition begins. You are fashioning a version of yourself that aligns with the truth of whom you’ve learnt you are.

SPRING CLEAN A new season dawns, signalling the time for a wardrobe reset. Welcome to our rundown of SS26’s most alluring looks, must-have silhouettes, finishing flourishes, plus accessories sure to elevate any ensemble. THE PIECE COAT TALES For the season ahead, your coat isn’t simply something you sling on as a mere afterthought. From Saint Laurent to Jean Paul Gaultier, the coat was a scene-stealing outfit in its own right. Pop over a mini (plus tights, of course) and opt for a shades of rich cream, chocolate brown and burnt caramel. THE ACCESSORY WICKER BAGS Every spring, wicker bags soar back into popularity as reliably as rain in the height of summer. For SS26, the silhouettes are softer and colours fresher. Clock the clutch bags sent down the runway at…

Flip phones, feature phones and even phone-shaped blocks of acrylic are all having a moment. It isn’t just TikTokcore-induced retro nostalgia at play, though the Y2K shimmer is undeniably irresistible. What’s really happening is a cultural correction: an entire generation quietly acknowledging that being reachable 24/7 isn’t aspirational. And truly, what feels less modern than sacrificing our sleep, inflaming our anxiety and treating our precious data privacy as an afterthought? According to Nicholas Rossman, programme director at the Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF) the shift started with trust. “In our latest surveys over the last two years, increasingly, consumers are telling us they don’t trust the sites or the apps that they’re visiting on their phones… there’s a real privacy concern.” MEF’s research suggests roughly two per cent of devices sold…

The mood-boosting effects of ice baths and strength training are well versed, but not everyone fancies a 6am plunge or a protein shake before dawn. Happily, there’s a new wave of softer science-backed hacks promising to make us feel amazing – from art and forgiveness to small acts of generosity. The gentler side of wellbeing, it turns out, might just be every bit as powerful. FORGIVE AND FORGET? When we think about happiness, forgiveness might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Yet, as Dr Laurie Santos, professor of psychology at Yale University and host of The Happiness Lab podcast, explains: “The science is really clear that it’s a powerful way to improve our emotional state.” Forgiveness, she says, isn’t about forgetting or excusing what happened – it’s…

There’s a calm precision to the way Fabienne Sebaoun talks about skin – the kind that only comes from growing up with dermatology woven into everyday life. “I come from a dermatologist’s family,” she says with a soft smile from her Paris office. “From a young age, I would look at people and imagine how I could make their skin better.” That early curiosity eventually took her everywhere: from studying cosmetic formulation, to a 16-year career working inside some of the most respected beauty houses – L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, LVMH, Valmont and Gatineau. And yet, her journey wasn’t one of instant entrepreneurship. “I didn’t want to launch a brand,” she admits. “I had imposter syndrome.” So instead of rushing, she spent two years deep in research, not even chasing a…

Teal is the must-know hue to have in your home for this season and beyond. Trend forecasters WGSN made ‘Transformative Teal’ the 2026 colour of the year, described as “a fluid fusion of blue and aquatic green that reflects the diversity of nature and taps into an earth-first mindset”. The blue-ish green shade is a versatile one: bright enough to add pops of cheerfulness through warmer months, yet rich enough to provide warmth and cosiness in the winter. Teal works in any room of the home: add some depth to the kitchen with a gold-legged stool or appliances, weave it through the dining room with playful tableware, or use soft furnishings like cushions to enhance your relaxation station. Teal tones are also rather neutral – perfect for pairing with any…
