GOLDEN HOUR • Uniquely crafted jewellery inspired by a precious metal.

It’s a wrap • We celebrate the first half of a hopeful year by taking you through this season’s most luxurious standout pieces. From Chanel to Miu Miu, and from structured blazers to sparkling silhouettes, every look will make you feel elegant and joyful.

PAN-AFRICAN My body, my canvas • MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST TAMMI MBAMBO USES MAKEUP TO ASK: WHAT WOULD I LOOK LIKE IF I COULD PAINT THE WORLD (AND MYSELF) DIFFERENTLY?

Dark chocolate • This lust-worthy, rich colour, one of many tones of brown we’ve seen in stores, on runways and the streets, is giving us all the delicious feels.

Cheque yourself • Plaid is popular every autumn, but to switch it up a bit this year, go for bold, square cheques.

Quilted • Jackets, tops, skirts, bags, shoes, you name it, and there’s probably a quilted version of it available this season. We’re snug as a bug, and we can’t complain.

WHAT’S ON YOUR Fashion Radar? • CREATIVE. COLLECTIVE. CONNECTED

Fashion activism • Can the fashion industry make a positive difference to society and the environment?

Trending skincare • Studies show consumer habits have changed in the wake of this pandemic, and emerging trends in the beauty space point to a shift in how we care for our skin. Here, founder and medical director of Skin Renewal, and a GP who specialises in aesthetic and integrative anti-ageing medicine and procedures, Dr Maureen Allem, weighs in.
