‘THE LABEL WAS DOING WELL BUT I WANTED IT TO EVOLVE AND I ALSO WANTED MORE CONTROL’ No one failed to notice Millie Mackintosh’s giant engagement ring glistening when she, rather sweetly, poured the entire team a cup of tea each, post HFM cover shoot – that saw the businesswoman and designer modelling her SS18 ready-to-wear collection. “I’m munching on my toast at the end of the shoot,” she laughs, spreading Marmite on her butter-laden sourdough. Millie, 28, who’s great, great-grandparents (Violet and John Mackintosh) invented everyone’s favourite confectionery Quality Street, first appeared on our TV screens in 2011 starring in the early episodes of hit reality show Made In Chelsea. Her on-off romance with now fiancé Hugo Taylor was one of the show’s early high points. Today we are…

At 21 years old, Zendaya has already starred in a hit Disney TV show and mega movie franchise Spider-Man, launched a fashion label and made her mark as a rising style icon – who could forget THAT Dolce & Gabbana Met Gala dress? The young starlet has the ability to morph almost chameleon-like into whichever guise she chooses – whether that be old Hollywood glamour or a bold head-to-toe Stella Jean look fresh off the SS18 catwalk. 3 of the best OFF-THE-SHOULDER SHIRTS SHOP THIS PAGE ENDOURCE.COM/HFM…

RAZZLE DAZZLE You can thank Gucci et al for the gentrification of glitter. No longer compartmentalised as festival fodder, it has been reclaimed by make-up artists for the catwalk – spotted at all four SS18 fashion weeks. There was a sparkle-strewn lip at Shrimps and bejewelled eyes at Jour/Né, Undercover and Stella Jean. Dries Van Noten and Francesco Scognamiglio experimented with sequins around the eyes, while glitter-coated lashes stole the show at Gucci and Ryan Lo. So how do you make the sparkly stuff look expensive, not kitsch? Start with a pared-back, dewy complexion. Choose chunky glitter that looks weighty and jewel-like. When it comes to application, keep it symmetrical with round edges and squared-off corners – so the placement looks purposeful. Use a small eyeshadow brush to create clean…

PRIME TIME Colour-correcting pigments have been around for a while, but the lightweight gel formula in these new-gen YSL Touche Éclat products sinks into skin in seconds and also hydrates your complexion. Pink dials back dullness, blue counteracts sallow tones on fair complexions and orange tackles dark patches on deeper complexions. If it gives us a glow to rival YSL girl Zoë Kravitz (right), we’re sold. Touche Éclat Blur Primers in Orange, Pink and Blue, £30 each, YSL. HAIR MAKEOVER We’ve all had our fair share of DIY home colour horror stories. But that’s about to change thanks to ‘king of colour’ Josh Wood, whose new-gen colour system creates salon-quality results in your own home. The range includes a collection of root concealers for on-the-go touch-ups, a shade shot to…

Wearing a red coat cinched at the waist, model Coco Rocha opened Jean-Paul Gaultier’s 2007 Scottish Highlands-themed fashion show Irish dancing her way down the catwalk. It was with such expertise and dexterity that, if anyone in the room didn’t already know and love her, they did now. Suddenly she wasn’t just a model – the term ‘Coco moment’ immediately followed. It was a fashion moment in time. The previous year had been huge for the relative newcomer, who’d already starred in campaigns for Christian Dior, Chanel, [Yves] Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Zac Posen and Dolce & Gabbana. She’d also become a runway staple walking for the likes of Marc Jacobs, Christian Lacroix and Emanuel Ungaro. But it was the Gaultier show that propelled the fast-footed pro dancer into everybody’s hearts…

Who pays for the bridesmaid’s dress? “Traditionally the bride’s family would cover the costs of the bridal party’s dress, including accessories. While the bride has the final say on bridesmaid attire, she is encouraged to consult her bridesmaids and to think about which colours and styles will suit them.” Are there any exceptions to the rule? “Some bridesmaids may insist on paying for their own outfits as a favour to the bride, but if a bride or her family don’t wish to pay for the bridesmaids’ dresses, the bridesmaids should be able to choose what they wear.” How should the colour of the dresses be chosen? “The choice of colour should take into account the skin tone and hair colour of the bridesmaids. The bride may also have a particular…

1 SMALL PLATE, TASTES GREAT In 2009 restaurateur Russell Norman opened his first Polpo, a concept based on the Venetian bacaro (humble restaurant). Following the Soho Beak Street branch, which is loved for its tasty small plates and reasonably-priced wines, came a further four London venues along with ones in Brighton, Bristol and Exeter. Returning to the place of his inspiration Russell has compiled a book with both delicious recipes and an intimate glimpse of life in the Italian city. Venice: Four Seasons of Home Cooking (Penguin; £26) 2 VELVET ROPE Possibly London’s most historic private members’ club, Annabel’s has moved home. Just two doors down, the bigger and better space, with terrace designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio (The Ivy, Sexy Fish), is set within a Georgian townhouse, reopening…

SPPING’S KEY PIECES From a button-down dress and pencil skirt to a classic white shirt and oversized tote, consider these items the building blocks to your SS18 wardrobe. BUTTON-DOWN DRESSES  This season sees cute-as-a-button (down) dresses rise to the top of our wishlists thanks to a number of brands from across the pond – namely Reformation and Realisation Par. On the runway, Creatures of Comfort and Carolina Herrera are giving us some serious holiday wardrobe inspo –just add a wicker bag and some sunshine. STYLE TIP Layer over an oversized white shirt a la Eudon Choi for added new season appeal. BELTED JACKETS A kimono-style belted jacket is the perfect layering tool for in-between seasons. Pair with a roll-neck, jumpsuit and boots for now as seen at Marc Jacobs, and…

ARTFULLY DRESSED Inspired by Barcelona-based Berta Cabestany’s love of ‘blind drawing’ and French New Wave cinema, the designer’s SS18 collection embraces these references using a primary colour palette tamed by crisp summer whites. Girlish details are rife – seen in bows, floral paillettes, pretty tulle fabrics and babydoll shapes, which are mixed with oversized silhouettes for a modern take. Our holiday wardrobe wish list just got a lot longer… Print dress, £430; hat, POA DAD TRAINERS The ‘ugly’ trainer, or Dad sneaker, is back in a big way. Balenciaga kick-started the obsession and the rest of the fashion world has followed. Think 90s clunky shapes with built-up soles and far-from-sleek shapes and you’re right on track. Not convinced? Look to your favourite street-style stars and you’ll quickly be on board……

It feels fitting that Juicy Couture, a brand that can thank early success on celebrity endorsement (Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton), has turned to a celebrity stylist in line with its recent renaissance. Jamie Mizrahi, 29, who works with some of young Hollywood’s most relevant stars including Riley Keough, Sasha Lane and Leighton Meester; as well as established LA elite Katy Perry and Nicole Richie, was named creative director last year, when Juicy turned 22. It was when the LA-based New Jersey native began consulting for the brand, which was founded by best friends Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor in 1995, that she was asked to join the team. Upon Juicy’s launch the luxury tracksuit brand enjoyed instant success, but, with success comes oversaturation and by the…

Growing up in Seville, Spain, Johnny Coca was destined for a career in aeronautical engineering, but the women in his life had different plans. “When I was really young, I was fascinated by planes, cars and boats, but I was living with my mother and two sisters – so I was also influenced by them,” Mulberry’s creative director laughs. “Every time I tried to make something like a garage for my toy cars they would ask me to change my direction, so I started cutting and stitching and knitting clothes for their Barbies.” There is something very neat about Johnny, 41, (his flawless skin, his immaculately pressed shirt and his shiny hooped earrings), when he bounds into Mulberry’s Kensington HQ for an interview with HFM ahead of the brand’s AW18…

NATURAL SELECTION Florals for spring, nothing new there… but butterflies, flowers and rather desirable bugs adorn delicate earrings, bracelets and brooches this season. It’s time to bring the garden indoors. FRINGE THEATRE Fashion’s tassel obsession continues this season with threads in a host of punchy hues. We’re taking our cue from the high street with these captivating catwalk styles –- shimmy shimmy! JUNGLE LOVERS Exotic flowers, wild animals, palms and parrots bring a taste of the tropics to your spring look. We’re dreaming of hotter climes during these April showers!

SIDE SWEEPING A textured fringe looks great knocked over to one side. Hair stylist Adam Reed recommends using a bigger brush for your fringe than you would the rest of your hair: “The bristles on GHD’s Radial Brush, £17.50, (above) are spread out so your fringe can be swept up in a single motion. Spray hairspray onto the brush first for a very soft hold.” FACE FRAMING “Heavy fringes can look wonderfully dramatic on heart-shaped faces. They make your haircut look modern, no matter what you’re wearing,” says Adam Reed. “With a heavy fringe you need it to look healthy, shiny and glossy. Use Percy & Reed Abundantly Bouncy Volumising Mousse, £12, to add shape and density before blow-drying.” NOSE TICKLING “If you have a strong jawline, avoid blunt or…

Walking for Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen and Chloé, Jean Campbell has captured this season’s fashion mood. As well as becoming the new face of Narciso Rodriguez’s For Her Fleur Musc fragrance, Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton’s creative director, has recently declared the Scottish beauty his muse. Jean has an elfin charm with long blonde hair that is commonly, and justifiably, referred to as her ‘mane’. But despite her fresh-faced appearance, the 20 year old has a wise head on her shoulders. Daughter of former British Vogue editor, Isabella Cawdor, Jean has always looked up to her mum. “I also love to borrow her clothes,” she admits. Outside her family (her dad is Colin Robert Vaughan Campbell, the Seventh Earl of Cawdor), she counts the likes of Stella Tennant and Tim Walker…

All women with unmarried female friends can be thankful that a long-overdue bridesmaid revolution is taking place. Let’s face it, historically bridesmaid dresses just aren’t cool – typically they are deeply unflattering, invariably cheap-looking and stuck in the past. Plus, we’ve never been convinced there is one style, cut and colour to suit all shapes, skin tones and tastes. It was through sheer frustration that Vanessa Cocchiaro launched bridesmaid-only brand Les Héroïnes after a friend asked her to be hers. “As a stylist it’s difficult to be told what to wear and especially to dress the same as someone else,” Vanessa, who is currently a contributing fashion editor for L’Officiel magazine, tells HFM. “When I suggested I wear a suit she was shocked by the idea, so I decided then…

STELLA MCCARTNEY AW18 COLLECTION LAUNCH Los Angeles Following a presentation of her 2018 resort womenswear collection, Stella McCartney threw a party at SIR (Studio Instrument Rentals) on LA’s Sunset Boulevard. FOOD AND DRINK: The high-spirited and well lubricated crowd enjoyed margaritas and (naturally) vegan hors d’oeuvres. MUSIC: Grimes, St Vincent and Beck all played before the designer’s dad Paul McCartney surprised everyone by taking to the stage singing some of The Beatles’ most well-loved tracks. GUESTS: Stella, who wore a low-cut mini dress, was joined by Katy Perry, Amber Valletta, Kate Hudson, Goldie Hawn, Kate Bosworth and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. RACHEL ZOE AW18 PRESENTATION Hollywood The New York-born, LA-based designer and stylist paid homage to “strong, sexy and powerful women” in her AW18 ready-to-wear show, which featured sequins, fringing, gold, velvet…

WHEN DANCER-TURNED-ACTRESS Chandler Kinney, 17, became a perfectly polished regular on the Los Angeles awards circuit, she rapidly accelerated from a cute actress to a perfectly put-together rising star. The black belt in taekwondo, who started dancing aged three and training in martial arts aged ten, gained her acting debut when she starred in Battlefield America in 2012. Despite her tender age, the immaculately groomed teen, who was named by Just Jared Jr as Breakout Star of 2017, doesn’t play it safe. Instead, she goes for cool contemporary British designers including Self-Portrait and Three Floor, as well as equally architecturally designed Spanish brand Sophie et Voilà. Kinney’s wardrobe is an array of vivid-hued playsuits and gowns paired with matching accessories. The talented actress, who went on to appear in Gortimer…

Sadie Frost’s best pal Jemima French first spotted her at a house party in the 80s when they were both 13. Sadie was applying red lipstick so precisely (sans mirror), whilst an impressed Jemima watched; their friendship was born there and then, so the story goes. A decade later, mixing business with pleasure, the duo launched FrostFrench in 1999. Since then, the brand has taken on many guises, most recently their Floozie line for Debenhams. “We wanted to create swimwear that was bright and cheeky and would complement all figures,” Sadie explains. Here the London-based designer, businesswoman and mother-of-four (Finlay Munro Kemp, whose father is Spandau Ballet’s Gary; and Rafferty, Rudy and Iris Law – children she shares with actor Jude), tells us about a dream day in her life.…

OVERSIZED TOTE The micro bag trend has finally made way for totes that can carry more than just a credit card. Whether logo-ed like at Dior, transparent at Chanel or woven at Giorgio Armani, we’re welcoming them back with open arms. STATEMENT BANGLES Set aside your thin gold chains and opt for chunky bangles as seen at Miu Miu, Céline and 3.1 Phillip Lim. Load up one wrist with three or four contrasting styles for maximum appeal – bigger is always better, after all. TWO-TONE SUNNIES Of all the styles on the runways it was the simplicity of Marni’s retro-inspired two-tone shades that caught our eye – ahem – this season. Opt for pops of colours to brighten up your look – red, lavender and pink are key. BASKET SHOES…

A-listers Sienna Miller, Cara Delevingne and Rita Ora all love Philip Colbert’s pop-art-inspired dresses. The pimped-up Mickey Mouse Rolls-Royce that drove past you during London Fashion Week, that was Philip. And the designer held his first solo fine art exhibition at London’s Saatchi Gallery late last year. Philip and his label The Rodnik Band are much more than another fashion brand – rather, a multi-disciplinary design house that specialises in projects mixing art, fashion and mass culture. Described by US Vogue’s André Leon Talley as “the godson of Andy Warhol”, his designs have been stocked in Barneys, Browns, Colette and Dover Street Market – and he’s being recruited by mega-brands such as Disney, Peanuts and Chupa Chups to inject his cool into their products. Welcome to the shock-pop world of…

STYLE TIP Transparent layers look chic when styled with block colours rather than fussy prints. Pair plastic plaid (left) with raw-edge denim and fierce boots for the ultimate SS18 look.…

‘I’VE BEEN SURGICALLY ATTACHED TO MY HIGH-WAISTED SWEDISH HASJEANS’ This month, it’s all about trans-seasonal dressing. Charcoal grey is always a great transitional denim and I’ve added a playful twist with a spotty blouse (right). What’s more, I was lucky to be invited to Gleneagles again, Scotland’s renowned ‘glorious playground,’ which I had visited once before, straight after its spectacular, multi-million pound renovation. After a hard day of room service, clay pigeon shooting and afternoon tea by the fire, I managed to introduce myself to their new, opulent beauty rooms, Bob & Cloche, for some serious pampering. Afterwards, I headed for cocktails at the iconic, Gatsby-esque American Bar. All in a day’s work, old sport… Deciding which colour Staud Grace bag to choose as my new wingman has not been…

1. GRUNGE MEETS GIRL Give your printed frock extra mileage by styling with an oversized hoodie – even a party dress gets an outing for day when paired with boots, too. If you’re worried about losing your waistline then belt it like blogger Aylin Köenig. 2. THE NEW CROP From buttoned bandeaus to micro-bustier crop tops, these previously overlooked midriffbarers are anything but with a little layering know-how. Whether added over a plain knit and teamed with high-waisted denim, or artfully layered – we’re looking at you Helena Bordon – the key is in the clashing, be it print, colour or texture, or better yet, all three. 3. BELTED BLAZERS Whether it’s a masculine suit or a simple blazer worn over a dress, the trick to updating it is all…

IF YOU LIKE APC, YOU’LL LOVE… LF MARKEY Central Saint Martins graduate Louise Markey created her namesake label having been prompted by her own passion for bleu de travails and artist smocks. The brand expanded quickly from its debut work shirt collection, to a full range of contemporary workwear staples, including chore coats, simple dresses, boiler suits and dungarees.

Seen at Roland Mouret “Like I have with clothes, I think I’ve found my signature with this scent,” Roland Mouret told us at LFW. Une Amourette, £115, pairs a fresh neroli note with incense and patchouli. Seen at Fenty x Puma Rihanna kicked off NYFW with a party to launch her Fenty Beauty range and the products were used backstage at her show. We love the Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter, £26.
