For what seemed like the longest time, ties have been strictly associated with the menswear department, defining dandy looks and helping shape a gentleman’s ever so polished appearance. But as society has undergone evolution, the masculine-feminine boundaries have slowly blurred. Steering away from the corporate and leaving the over-the-top preppy days behind, the tie became a versatile statement accessory. Explored in subtle ways, veiled in…

Don't know your fedora from your trilby, your pork pie from your panama? Not sure weather to opt for the flat cap or the Gatsby? Don't worry - we've got you covered. After the break, 10 key spring hats for men, what they are, and how to wear them.

When Lisa Schuil (a stylist whose work we’ve featured many times) puts pen to paper, the outcome is rather quirky and very different. Branching out into design, she’s created a t-shirt range under the brand name Renabla: the designs are simple sketches, but they certainly beg your eye to look twice.

Picture an evening gown with plunging neckline and floor-sweeping hem. Now add some tough accessories: an upper-ear cuff, a spiked tiara, a studded clutch, a sharp talon ring… any of these things can change the mood of the look instantly and completely.

The presence of delicate lace, soft satins and passementerie lining transforms this mysterious figure into something of pure desire. The womanly and seductive qualities within this shoot are…

So much of the fashion that hits catwalks is described as ‘wearable art’, made only to fill the wardrobes of the likes of Anna Dello Russo. But what happens when a piece really is wearable art? What happens when the echo of Helmut Newton’s voyeuristic…

This bag should come with a warning label: only to be carried if you don’t mind being stopped frequently in the street. Because that’s what happens when you carry Dora Abodi‘s statement-making accessories: everyone wants to know where you got them from. This week we launch a new giveaway on our Facebook page, with Dora Abodi’s gold and white fringe bag from her ‘Phoenix Egg’…
