A plain, unornamented milkmaid braid is enough of a hairstyle outing for most people. But for a creative designer mind like Erin Fetherston’s, there’s a little more to be done with it.

Entwined with strands of rope and secured with many a pin into a roll at the back, it’s a braid that – especially when paired with floating white pleats – ends up feeling more Midsummer Night’s Dream than it does milkmaid.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
