“We will all be wearing our hearts on our sleeves” February usually sees the Stylist team dashing between New York, London, Milan and Paris as a new season of trends and collections are unveiled across the international catwalks. In fact, my trip to Milan in 2020 saw the beginning of the story that was yet to unfold. As Covid-19 swept through northern Italy, we found ourselves surrounded by new and unexpected measures – temperature checks and sudden cancellations of catwalk shows. These shows are put together by hundreds of people for months on end, they cost thousands of pounds to create and make millions as a result. The closure of them was our first true signal that something was very badly wrong in Europe. I flew home early and spent…

“I am craving a shopping trip more than ever” words: billie bhatia Since last March I have spent far less on clothes than in my previous life – aside from a few necessary pounds on comfort. Nothing has entered my wardrobe that wasn’t comprised of an elasticated waist or oversized shape. And, at the beginning of this month, as I sat in another pair of joggers, I realised I was over it. I’m done with loungewear. I want my shopping to bring tidings of joy sans comfort, I decided. I want a dress, a summery one, that immediately evokes the smell of sun cream when you put it on. I want trainers, expensive ones, reserved only for fun places with fun people. I want a designer bag for the sole…

A one-day diary from morning latte to lights out Eshita Kabra, Fashion Tech Entrepreneur Eshita, 29, is the founder of the social fashion rental app By Rotation. She currently lives in west London with her husband and dog My alarm goes off… At 7am. But my puppy, Saffron wakes me up these days. I then spend 15 minutes catching up with family in Singapore and New York on WhatsApp. Since we’re working from home, I’m mostly in loungewear. I’m responsible for… The overall strategic direction of By Rotation, a peer-to-peer fashion rental service. I got the job… After seeing how much textile waste there was in landfills on my honeymoon to Rajasthan, India in 2018. At the time, I was working at a hedge-fund and had no background in…

beauty Golden Hour Prepare for spring’s first glorious rays of sunshine, with skin that shimmers and eyes that glow. Chanel make-up artist Ninni Nummela shows us how beauty direction: shannon peterPHOTOGRAPHY: NATASJA FOURIE Tangerine dreams It’s about time the classic smoky eye underwent a makeover, so switch out sombre shades of black and grey for something a little more joy-inducing, like this ombre-effect, sunset-inspired orange. “Use a monochromatic palette of orange shades in different intensities to create a fading effect across the eyelid, applying the most vivid colour at the lash line to create depth,” recommends Nummela. Cloud nine If you can only muster enough energy to allow for a single make-up step, choose blusher. In fact, a low-slung, hazy cloud of rosy flush will brighten the complexion far better…

STYLIST ADVERTORIAL Life is what you bake it From star baker skills to the perfect self-love brownies, Stylist and Dr. Oetker have joined forces to help you embrace the joy of baking… If you feel as though the past few months have really taken the biscuit – and the cake and the bun – then you’re not alone. For reasons beyond our control, we’re spending a lot more time at home, and while others may have turned to Netflix-bingeing or wood-whittling, there’s one thing we can all rely on to make ourselves feel better, and that’s baked goods. It’s true, throughout 2020 kitchens were filled with the tantalising aromas of fresh bread and powdered cinnamon, as we embraced the simple, nostalgic pleasure of baking. From eagerly awaiting that pillowy rise…

step forward The year that changed fashion As the fashion world navigates a much-needed transformation from old world to new, Billie Bhatia asks what happens next? On the surface, fashion can seem a frivolous affair. An industry comprised of trends that can change at the swing of a pendulum. Where hype pieces are deemed hot one minute and decidedly not the next. After all, it’s just clothes, right? One scratch at that surface would reveal a very different picture. The UK fashion industry alone is worth £35 billion*, with the global market standing at £1.1 trillion. What might be seen as frivolous, is in fact big, big business. A business undergoing its greatest transformation yet. This time last year, the fashion industry was in the middle of the international show…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS Ellie Goldstein What will the model make of our existential questions? What does style mean to you? It means expressing your personality and yourself. I love to express myself through beauty and fashion. What is your earliest fashion memory? When I was about six my sister used to dress me up and do my make-up. She did it all the time. There was lots of pink and purple. What is your happy place? In front of the camera obviously! When do you feel your most beautiful? When I’m at a shoot and all dressed up. Heels or flats? I want to pick heels, but I have to say flats. We had a prom last year, and I wore pink heels. They were…

bags for life Our enduring love of handbags As we continue to wait longingly for our next outing, Stylist pays tribute to the mightiest of accessories Words: VICTORIA MOSS Handbags were perhaps the first material thing we cast aside when lockdown was announced. What need for a trophy piece on the daily constitutional? All you required were keys, mask and a phone to take pictures of anything remotely interesting (a nice tree, some thrown-out books on the pavement… the bar was low) which could all fit in your tracksuit pockets. Since the V&A was forced to temporarily close in December, and pause its exhibition of Bags: Inside Out, it almost feels fitting that the things are relegated to being exhibits in a museum. In the brief windows when we’re allowed…
