“Given the state of the economy, Latimmier's cheeky, BDSM-coded take on power dressing for spring/summer '24 was deliciously on-point. The wide-cuffed shirting, power shoulders and ties are all on my wardrobe bingo card come spring. Plus we got Ervin Latimer himself performing 'Big Spender' in drag. Just take all my money.”

"Simple, beautiful and so very wearable. This Highlands-inspired autumn/winter '23 collection by the Skall Studio sisters has stayed with me since its presentation at Copenhagen's light-filled Designmuseum."

“Gestuz's autumn/winter '23 because of that one great grey coat and the structured shoulders. All-in-all a display of empowered, cinched-in sex appeal.”

“I was worried this question would come. As a forever admirer of Scandinavian style and all it stands for, I find it very tricky to just choose one collection. I loved the simplicity of House of Dagmar's spring/summer '24 collection, and the leather details at Saks Potts, but I think my overall favourite needs to be The Garment's spring/summer '24 show. The combination of suits and crochet really caught my attention.”

My favourite Scandi collection this year was Holzweiler's spring/summer '24 'Rewilding'. The pastel and floral vibes hooked an all-black-everything girlie like myself, making me want to live out my best Tinkerbell, wood nymph fantasies.”
