Actress Antonia Thomas is looking forward to flying back to London for her cover shoot when we speak. After spending four years filming in Vancouver, she’s made a life in north America, “I have a community of friends, a cat and a boyfriend,” she tells us. But as much as she loves the nature in Canada, she’s still very much a London girl. “I miss the buzz – it’s the best city in the world.” ‘I WAS TERRIFIED AND FRESH OUT OF DRAMA SCHOOL – AND REALLY DIDN’T FEEL PARTICULARLY READY FOR IT’ To be closer to family Antonia, who is currently bouncing between the two locations, is contemplating “the slow move back”, looking to buy a house somewhere between London Bridge and Greenwich, where she grew up. She has…

Spirited, bright and full of joie de vivre, Sophie Méchaly (above) perfectly epitomises Paul & Joe, the brand she launched 27 years ago. When we speak on Zoom, she has recently returned to Paris from London where she showed her forthcoming AW22 collection in Farringdon’s Charterhouse Square. “We love being in the UK and coming to London – it was so cool. The energy was amazing. We had a really good time,” she says with genuine fervour. Sophie launched Paul & Joe womenswear in 1996, following the success of the menswear collection she created just a year earlier. Her parents were behind cult shirt brand Le Garage, which was hugely successful in the 80s, so she naturally fell into men’s fashion. “My mum was a great designer. She always had…

1 THE NEW CBD CBG (cannabigerol) is the new cannabinoid to know about. A potent antioxidant, early findings suggest it could rival vitamin C and combat ‘inflamageing’ from UV. Find it in Cellular Goods Cannabinoid Face Serum, £99, the UK’s first CBG-powered (and David Beckham-backed) brand that uses sustainable lab-made CBG. 2 OIL’S WELL Craving a cosy, calm living space? An oil diffuser is an efficient way to fill your home with therapeutic blends. Aromatherapy Associates’ The Atomiser, £120, is considered the Rolls-Royce model – an ultra-quiet, wireless, white ceramic pod that emits a soft halo of light and a micro-fine mist of undiluted oils. And we have recently discovered Alexandra Kay’s Time To Inhale hand-held diffuser, £20 – a plucky little portable number that fits into the palm of…

Having been featured on many best-dressed lists during his 20-year modelling career, and living an active lifestyle, David Gandy was well placed when he launched his own fashion and lifestyle brand, David Gandy Wellwear, in 2014. Aged 21, Billericay-born David’s university flatmate entered him into a televised modelling competition, which he won – the prize was a contract with Select Model Management. Since, he has appeared on copious magazine covers and campaigns, however his long run as the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue fragrance is perhaps the most recognised. And, when it comes to his own brand, his personal favourites are the super-soft sweatshirts. “I was adamant they needed pockets and the team thought I was crazy. But having gone from carrying just my phone and keys to…

What is your go-to for an evening out? It depends where I am. But if I’m in London – and this is something that I miss incredibly – it would be a cosy pub with some friends. That would be my absolute go-to. Who do you like to hang out with? I like to hang out with my friends, my boyfriend, my family when I get to see them, which isn’t enough. I think, with this job, you’re away so often that when I get the time to be social I just make sure to check in with my nearest and dearest. How would you describe your personal style? Day to day, I’d say it’s probably pretty casual and dressed down. Paired with the odd piece that’s chic or fun.…

I have never been more excited to throw off my shearling, get a pedicure and embrace my summer wardrobe like a long-lost friend… We deserve this sunshine and all the accompanying positivity now more than ever and my style is set to be one whole #SummerMood; all the prints, all the colour and all the fun! I’m kicking off proceedings with my responsibly-made Moonbeam Tiger tea dress from Gestuz, the sandals of stripy dreams from LK Bennett and my digitally-printed, bamboo Beatrix blouse (in what must be the most perfect of pinks!) by new sustainable British brand, Deidei. I can’t speak of prints and colour without mentioning Lisou, a British brand that embraces these design values like no other. Designer Rene Macdonald has been cited as making ‘happy clothes cool…

When Milan-based art collector Anna Maria Enselmi acquired her holiday home in Castro Marina, a small fisherman’s village in Salento in Italy’s Puglia region, she wanted it to be anything but ordinary. The 350-square-metre, five-bedroom villa that was built at the turn of the 20th century, soon became a showcase for her collection of original modern decorative arts and furnishings compiled since the 90s – adding a contemporary element to the historic building. Set on the cliff’s edge with pristine views looking out across the Adriatic Sea towards Corfu and southern Albania, Anna Maria says it felt like being on a two-storey ship. “When I first saw it I was wowed, it was love at first sight,” she tells us. When she bought the holiday home seven years ago, she…

Keep It Simple The trick to nailing this trend is not to over-do it – try teaming a striped jumper with classic trousers and tonal accessories. Cool Collars Statement collars aren’t going anywhere, so why not tick off two trends in one? Stick to a nautical palette, add a simple sandal and statement sunnies and you’re good to go! Laidback Layering Keep your look pared-back and modern with a simple stripe or nautical tones. An oversized jumper layered over a dress creates a chic and elongated silhouette.…

WEAR YOUR GREENS Pantone’s ‘Pickled Pepper’ khaki is everywhere this season and perfectly complements romantic, floral accents. GET CRAFTY Seen in soothing neutrals and sophisticated silhouettes, crochet is the stealth sexy trend to know. THE ART OF LAYERIN When it comes to navigating British weather, it’s best to come prepared with a lightweight gilet. LESS IS MORE Forgo traditional ruffles and puffed sleeves for a breezy, billowy backless maxi dress instead. GO FOR GRUNGE Paired with chunky biker boots, prairie can stride into the season with a decidedly less wholesome attitude. POP YOUR COLLAR From pie crust to Peter Pan, collars are the feminine foundation to the trend – simply pair with retro cords.…
