Hear how she got there and how she copes with the pressures of early fame on page 22. Korean-born designer Eudon Choi shares his journey to creating his eponymous brand on page 38.

And talking of enduring style, everyone’s favourite wardrobe staple, denim, gets an update for summer on page 82.We’re talking oversized, white washes and the way more forgiving Anti Hotpant. Dig in!

Angèle is not afraid to say what she thinks. Defiant in her beliefs, the Belgian pop singer-songwriter’s millennial-girl lyrics tackle subjects that previous generations may have been afraid to assert. Balance Ton Quoi from her debut album, Brol , which sold more than 1.5 million albums globally, addresses her own experiences of sexism. It became an anthem for the French #MeToo movement, turning her into a feminist mouthpiece at the tender age of 23. ‘WHEN I STARTED, IT WAS VERY NEW FOR ME. I JUST WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT MY LIFE AND BEING IN LOVE’ But, independent from that, Angèle is a huge star in Belgium and France. Not a day goes by that arguably the hottest musician in Francophone territories isn’t recognised in the street. Her 3.4 million Instagram…

As a self-confessed workaholic, fashion designer Eudon Choi seeks to escape through his collections. His metaphorical wanderlust has taken him to Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, sun-soaked southern Italy, the fancy ski resort of Gstaad in the Swiss Alps – and for SS22, the carnival capital, Rio de Janeiro. “When we created this collection, it was about the desire to go away. The mood was very much a party vibe, because it felt like we were ending the pandemic,” he tells us from his studio in Haggerston, east London. Having previously visited Latin America, when he was inspired by Cuban-American performance artist Ana Mendieta for his resort collection, the current vibrant offering probes a similar theme. “We wanted to explore more of Latin America…

TAKE A STAND High street favourite Jigsaw has eschewed minimalism in favour of a more playful look, courtesy of clashing, riotous floral prints and a confidently bright colour palette. It’s time to step out of your comfort zone (since anything goes here, it’s remarkably difficult to get it wrong) and prove your sartorial prowess.…

THE COOL COLLAB French online retailer La Redoute has launched an exclusive collaboration with heritage denim brand Wrangler to celebrate its 75th anniversary. With 70s silhouettes inspired by the Wrangler archives, it has a fresh, modern feel to it and features pastel co-ords and a killer belted boilersuit. THE OG Guess Originals is returning with its SS22 collection, which offers an array of the brand’s much-loved traditional denim alongside some updated Palm Springs-inspired styling pieces. The colour palette, a mixture of earthy hues and sun-bleached pastels, is directly inspired by the dreamy Cali desert and its surroundings. Now simply book that holiday! THE NEW FACE Swedish model Elsa Hosk is the latest face of sustainable denim brand DL1961. The collection reimagines the style influences of the 80s and 90s in…

Wear this FIND YOUR FLOW Heritage brand Falke knows good hosiery, fact. So we had high expectations for its first yoga collection. Soft, stylish and durable, it ticks all the boxes. This incredibly well-engineered line includes sculpting leggings with extra high-rise waistbands and matching sports bras in pastel shades – we love this set (above and right). Read this HIGH SPIRITS In search of a modern, practical approach to spirituality that doesn’t involve crystals and moon cycles? Take It In by Giselle La Pompe -Moore (£16.99, Rider) has a refreshing, no-nonsense take on ‘everyday spirituality’ and includes empowering guidance on how to heal, create calm and channel your inner strength.

DEBORAH BLYTH Each piece of jewellery is created in a small area of north London, handcrafted in the studio using the lost wax process, while stone settings take place in nearby Hatton Garden. Using recycled gold and silver for a sustainable production, Deborah’s love of the arts and nature influences her most – along with a passion for swimming. Molten metal, imperfect edges and asymmetric shapes are embellished with baroque pearls and semiprecious stones for sculptural pieces that add everyday luxury. KITRI Since its inception, Kitri’s offering has been driven by listening to customers, as well as championing pre-order to help reduce over-production. This season, the collection is inspired by road trips beside the sandy plains of the Californian desert and the intriguing beauty of Joshua Tree. From summer dresses…

When we were 16, we spent our days liberally applying Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse and loitering in bowling alleys. By contrast, Dove Cameron was already an established Disney star with a musical theatre career in her back pocket. Next on the agenda for the 26-year-old – conquering the world of pop. Dove (born Chloe, Dove is her late father’s nickname for her) is releasing a solo album. Single LazyBaby (inspired by a break-up) is gritty yet glittery and the video would certainly make Mickey Mouse blush. Dove champions unapologetically feminine designs on the red carpet – cult favourite Brock Collection and classic 50s shapes courtesy of Dolce & Gabbana, all topped off with a Gen-Z twist. And our 16-year-old us couldn’t be more excited by Dove’s next project – a…

It’s that time of the year where I’m either in jeans and fluffy Birks (I refused to be judged – if you know, you know!) or a floral maxi with boots, and both are a total inter-seasonal win. In particular, this 100% cotton-poplin dress from Seraphina, with its ruffled collar and beautiful paisley print, ticks all the boxes, and my newly-refurbished, now whiter-than-white boots add the perfect spring to my step… If you are looking for the perfect lightweight throw-on for those cooler evenings, look no further than Rixo’s feelgood, fitted Debbie jacket! My go-to brand for party dresses has recently launched a 13-piece planet-friendly denim collection, using fewer chemicals, creating less emissions and fashioned from a low-impact, cellulosic material, which makes recycling significantly easier. There hasn’t been a beauty…

Although fashion label Rixo founders Orlagh McCloskey and Henrietta Rix can no longer shout ideas through their bedroom walls in the middle of the night, they do live a five-minute walk from each other. Employing their love of thrift to create printed silk dresses with flattering silhouettes and a vintage sensibility, the best friends launched the brand in 2015. They designed pieces that they wanted to wear; and it wasn’t long before the British press had picked up on these well-cut, affordable designs, with prints hand-painted in-house by Orlagh. “It genuinely was the press that really believed in us, even before we had wholesalers or real customers,” Orlagh says. “A lot of people in the fashion realm loved Rixo.” A pretty remarkable achievement considering the duo were freshly graduated from…

ALL THAT SHIMMERS Sequins and rhinestones reign supreme on the high street, adorning everything from mules to midi dresses.

1. MIDI DRESSES Denim is not normally associated with elegance, but behold Natalia Vodianova (below), bucking the trend in sleek Chloé, proving that it works wonderfully in a classic silhouette. Loewe sent slinky slip dresses down the runway in this most unexpected fabric, while Hermès’ offering was expertly tailored. 2. THE ANTI HOTPANT SS22 may have stuck its flagpost on all things skimpy, but if you don’t fancy having your bum popping out of tiny shorts (we completely understand), all hail the Anti Hotpant. Thankfully, Max Mara got the memo and sent properly bum-covering denim shorts and mini skirts down the runway. Still playful, but better yet – comfortable. 3. THE ADD-ONS Denim is famed for its versatility, so why not introduce the hardwearing fabric into your accessories arsenal? For…

A decade in the making, No1 de Chanel is the House’s cleanest and most sustainable collection yet. Powered by the camellia flower (for which Chanel has its own fields in the south of France), the products contain powerful skin-strengthening molecules to freshen and firm up your complexion. We reserve special praise for the hard-working and supremely comfortable Red Camellia Revitalizing Serum. Made from mostly natural ingredients, its cooling, cushion-soft gel texture sinks into skin in seconds, softening and brightening instantly. Over time, it also evens out and refines the surface of your skin, restoring some of its structure and bounce. A seriously gratifying step in your daily routine, not to be skipped.

Looking for a Mexican beach break but want to escape the crowds at Cancun? Just venture south along the Riviera Maya for a more refreshing, exclusive experience. This long strip of heavenly Caribbean coastline, with warm shallow waters and golden sands, stretches for 80 blissful miles on the south side of the Yucatan peninsula. Steeped in traditional Mayan culture, this entire region is dotted with breathtaking ancient ruins and picturesque natural swimming holes known as cenotes, meaning ‘sacred wells’. The reef that runs the length of the peninsula is home to an abundance of exotic marine life, and turtles return to ancestral nesting grounds here each year. Backed by dense tropical forest, apparently, during lockdown, toucans and jaguars roamed free on the empty highway. SWIMMING IN THE COOL CLEAR WATERS…

Fashion designer turned interior designer, Matthew Williamson is known for patterns, colour and fun. And the latest brand to tap him for some cheer is John Lewis & Partners. “I think they see me as a decorative, ornate designer, so it was about how I could elevate everyday products into something a bit more joy inducing,” he says, of the collection of pouffes, cushions, bedding and lamps. “What I’ve designed is not necessarily things you need – there are no kettles or toasters, but it’s hopefully things that make your heart sing and elevate your home, making it feel more special. Much like with fashion – wear a great dress and you feel better.” And there is no-one more excited about this spring’s launch than his mum. “She can’t wait…
