The best lipsticks for autumn - Financial Times

Sometimes getting ready for a party is part of the fun. And sometimes it can descend into a frenzied rush of trying to discern whether your evening look is about as hip as an ’80s pineapple and cheese hedgehog. This happened to me recently when, five experimental ensembles later, I was back in the silk shirt and straight jeans I put on first. Casting around for something a bit extra, I found it in the form of a red lipstick. Matte with a slightly blurred finish, the newly launched Rabanne Famou…

Last-minute gifts that don't look last-minute - Financial Times

Procrastinating over presents? It’s not a problem — yet — but you might want to step on that ordering, if only to avoid the dreaded last minute stealth tax known as Next Day Delivery. After asking an extended circle of friends what they wanted, I’ve concluded that what most people want is “something useful, but make it special”. Extra-long matches from Pentreath and Hall fit the bill, creating a sense of occasion. A little decadent but hey it’s only 11p a match, maths fans. Or perhaps opt for…

These celebrity beauty brands are actually rather good - Financial ...

It’s 11am on a Friday and the busiest counter in Space NK’s King’s Cross store in central London is Rare Beauty, the make-up line from singer Selena Gomez. Wanting to understand its popularity, I get chatting to Tara, a glowy 36-year-old who has come down from Oxfordshire for the day to buy beauty products and has “made a beeline for the concealer”. She’s intrigued to see if Rare Beauty is as good as she’s heard on social media, adding that the brand’s concealer is £10 cheaper than her usual D…

Soeur brings French style to London - Fashion - Financial Times

In Paris last summer for the couture shows, I made time for a brief shopping pilgrimage. While the world’s 0.01 per cent perused hand-embellished eveningwear, my between-show treat was a snatched detour to the more reasonably priced Soeur boutique. The city is brimming with shops offering their own vision of La Parisienne, but for me, Soeur’s mix of clean shapes, workwear fabrics and retro prints has an easy cool that stands out. I recommend it to anyone else who wants a change from APC, likes…

At Paris Fashion Week, naked dressing and a '60s tribute - Financia...

Paris Fashion Week got into full swing on Tuesday with shows from Dior and Saint Laurent, luxury houses owned by French conglomerates LVMH and Kering respectively. Both are known for a quintessentially French vision and heritage, and with the Olympics starting in Paris in July, all eyes are on the image of the capital city presented to the world. Fashion is a significant part of the national identity, and when it comes to using the global stage provided by the Olympics, LVMH is the one going fo…

Martin Parr: 'Fashionistas are good prey for my camera' - Financial...

In 2011, I went on a river swim at a summer festival called Port Eliot. Everyone taking part wore a yellow swimming hat for visibility and we were warned a photographer would be taking pictures at the end. “No way am I being photographed emerging from a river in a rubber hat,” I told my husband and duly dodged the lens. Unfortunately the photographer turned out to be Martin Parr. I missed my chance to be immortalised, but then again with Parr, a flattering portrait was not guaranteed. For more…

The best new beauty products for summer 2024

Cécred Moisturizing Deep Conditioner, £37, cecred.com Did we need another celebrity beauty brand? Probably not, but when it’s Beyoncé’s new line, exceptions are made. The eight-piece hair care collection featuring shampoos, leave-ins and treatments caters to all hair types and textures. The star of the Cécred show is the moisturising deep conditioner which is described as “best for curly, coily, and zig-zag coiled hair”. A thick, luxurious blend of shea and murumuru butter and oils such as mori…

The Crazy Rich Asians author knows super-rich fashion

It’s midnight in LA, where Kevin Kwan lives, but this is his preferred time for a phone call. “I’m a night bird,” he says. “If I was doing an interview at 8am, my brain would be foggy and not well-caffeinated . . . I swear to God I will be much better at midnight.” Indeed, the Singapore-born author of bestseller Crazy Rich Asians has his wits about him as he discusses his latest novel, Lies and Weddings. It follows eligible British-Chinese aristocratic Rufus Leung Gresham as his former supermod…

Best summer books of 2024: Fashion - Financial Times

All the Rage: Power, Pain, Pleasure: Stories from the Frontline of Beauty 1860-1960 by Virginia Nicholson (Virago) As the high-fashion corset returns to the catwalk and the red carpet, thanks to John Galliano and Kim Kardashian, this deep dive into western female beauty over a century seems particularly timely. From details of gruesome early 20th-century cosmetic surgery involving paraffin wax injections to analysis of the idealised women presented by mid-century advertising, it’s a reminder th…
