After teaming up with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on an edit earlier this summer, British activewear brand Adanola has now tapped LA-based influencer Stephanie Shepherd for a capsule collection. Featuring sports bras, leggings, shorts and tees, as well as some autumn-appropriate, quilted, kimono-inspired jackets, this is a great edit to check out for your off-duty winter wardrobe.
J. Lindeberg – the brand known for fusing sports with fashion – has just launched its autumn/winter 2023 collection, and there are plenty of colourful, sporty-inspired silhouettes to embrace for the new season. We love this green knitted skirt (which also comes in a more neutral white) for its tennis-inspired feel. Team with ballet pumps and a simple white vest.
Although the weather might be (finally) showing off as the summer draws to a close, autumn is just around the corner, and that means there are plenty of exciting new drops to look out for this week. This includes Mango’s new workwear capsule, which sits under the store’s premium collection, Selection – and has plenty of exciting autumnal offerings including classic shirts, pleated skirts and tailored trousers for the office, as well as oversized leather jackets, sheer skirts and even sparkly knickers for those more adventurous sartorial occasions. Shop the whole collection here.

The popular Danish jewellery brand Pandora has just launched its new lab-grown diamond collection – a range of 50 elevated pieces featuring the man-made stones, crafted from 100% recycled silver or gold, and created using 100% renewable energy. It’s all part of Pandora’s aim to “democratise diamonds”, bringing their sparkle to more occasions and more people. This sleek 14kt gold bracelet, from the Nova collection, is a highlight.
XL bags have had a real upgrade in recent seasons – there are now so many chic alternatives to a flimsy cotton tote bag, and we could not be happier about it. Our favourite new iteration? Manu Atelier’s Carry All, which has been introduced for for AW23. The style comes in various colourways and fabric options, but we love the brown suede.
If you are ready to start prepping your cosy autumn wardrobe, then let us direct you to Varley’s new all-in-ones, which are perfect for working from home in.

A favourite for its vibrant prints and unique silhouettes, Damson Madder is a great name to know for affordable fashion that looks far more expensive than its pricetag. The autumn/winter 2023 collection just dropped, and we have an eye on this ruffled gingham skirt, which would look great with a simple white T-shirt and sandals now, and boots and a polo-neck come the winter.
Just in time for your summer holiday, the luxury swimwear label Hunza G has launched a new lurex collection, with some of its most popular styles – spanning both swimsuits and bikinis – reimagined in shimmering black and gold. The label’s famed original crinkle fabric has been intertwined with metallic thread, resulting in a subtle, ’70s-inspired shine that glitters in the sun. It’s the ultimate in understated glamour.
The second demi-fine jewellery collection from the Australian brand Zimmermann has just landed in stores, after first debuting on the label’s autumn/winter 2023 catwalk earlier this year. With an emphasis on luminosity (as evidenced by these beautiful, light-reflecting crystal earrings), creative director Nicky Zimmermann was inspired by the artwork of Rupert Bunny – an Australian artist from the turn of the last century – when designing the pieces. “I was drawn to his use of colour and the romanticism of his work – the gentle and dreamy lifestyle scenes,” she said. “There is a glow, warmth and optimism to his work that is really appealing to me.”

Benjamin Fox – small independent dressmaker – has collaborated with fashion editor and stylist Rachel Bakewell to create an ultra-feminine luxury cotton poplin dress with hand gathered broderie anglaise detailing. The vintage-inspired smock dress is true to both their love of nostalgia and romanticism, and is the perfect piece for the long summer days.
The luxury jeweller Harry Winston has been inspired by the natural phenomenon of Manhattanhenge – when the rising- or setting-sun perfectly aligns with the New York City street grid, casting an orange glow between the buildings – to create the Manhattanhenge suite; a beautiful high-jewellery necklace and earrings crafted from diamonds and spessartite gemstones. The pieces join the house’s New York collection, which celebrates the city, taking influence from its architecture and cityscapes.

The Copenhagen-based designer Cecilie Bahnsen has made a name for herself in fashion circles thanks to her beautifully feminine designs that straddle the intersection between couture and ready-to-wear – but the label is also popular due to her prioritisation of comfort as much as style. Bahnsen’s latest collaboration with Asics is no different: the two brands have come together to create the ultimate trainer, fusing functionality and statement-making fashion with the GT-2160 shoe. Wear with one of Bahnsen’s signature dresses or simply with a white t-shirt and jeans for an instant dose of Scandi cool.

Iconic designer Zandra Rhodes has teamed up with Australian accessories label Poppy Lissiman for a line of sunglasses and bags that will bring a jolt of colour to your summer wardrobe. United by a love of bold, statement-making design, Rhodes and Lissiman worked together for a year to create the collection. Together, they delved into Rhodes’ extensive archive to reimagine some of her most famous motifs, including the wiggle and the zig-zag, then adapting them to inspire both the prints and the shape of the bags and sunglasses. Highlights include the swirl shades in either fuchsia or cobalt blue, or the Sixties-inspired floating flower sunglasses. “We noticed synergies with the use of colour and print in our work as soon as we met,” says Rhodes. “I think this is evident in the outcome of this collection.” For a high impact, minimal effort eyewear, make a beeline now.
Etro has launched a mini version of its much-loved Vela bag, which comes in a candy-pop colour palette, and is the perfect size for the evening. We love this baby blue iteration for injecting little colour into your summer wardrobe, but you can also snap up the bag in green, orange or pink if you want something even brighter.

Linda Farrow has collaborated with Parisian designer Rowen Rose on a collection that is inspired by St Tropez in the 1970s. The six-piece collection features two of different iconic Linda Farrow designs which have been reworked in terracotta, orange, green and warm chocolate brown. Meanwhile, the red and white striped packaging is also a nostalgic nod to the quintessential umbrellas that sat on the St Tropez beaches. See the whole collection here.
Emilia Wickstead has given swim and beachwear her elegant touch with a collection that is perfect for summer holidays. Featuring some of her trademark floral and checkerboard prints, there is plenty to choose from in the beautiful, including this pair of statement trousers, which would team very nicely with the matching bikini.
Ballet flats are everywhere this season, but if you prefer a slightly more sturdy shoe (which your feet will definitely thank you for), we recommend Tory Burch’s Ballet Loafer, which is a very chic compromise between the two classic shoe styles. Coming in various hues, they make a great year-round investment piece, and are A-list approved – Gigi Hadid owns them in two different colours.
