Have you got weather fatigue? (And by th at I mean, are you fed up of getting drenched in your sundress when iPhone weath er swore th e sun was meant to b e out?) Reluctantly, we introduce you to ‘Swinter’ – the season we very much wish didn’t exist. But, thanks to the fash ion team, you can now dress perfectly for it (page 26). Also, we b ring you one of th e b iggest, coolest, b ut up until now unh eard-of fash ion b rands in the world (page 48). Buy it now b efore anyone else. And wh ile you’re at it, get a b lue sh irt (page 80). It’s the style staple of Swinter, trust us. Stella Creasy is one of the politicians…

ACCORDING TO REPORTS , last month was one of the wettest julys on record. And August? Too early to call, although the one thing we’re all very familiar with is the four-seasons-in-one-day unpredictability of the Great British summer – and the fact that we all have to think twice before leaving the house in the morning. But how to avoid being caught out? Unless you’ve got a weatherman on speed-dial, clever layering is key. Mix new-season buys – statement knitwear, a printed ankle boot – with your summer staples; these kinds of purposeful clashes make for eclectic climate-busting looks. So who cares if it’s summer, winter or somewhere in between (we’re calling it ‘Swinter’)? There are styling solutions aplenty. Today’s forecast? Light rain, with intervals of polka dots… THE HOT…

Photos: Xposure, Maison Valentino/Instagram THIS YEAR’S MOST memorable wedding belles have all had one very lovely trick up their (lace) sleeves: a Valentino dress. Last week another joined the lucky-in-fashion-love club: Italian heiress Beatrice Borromeo wore a Valentino Haute Couture dress, designed by creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, for her civil wedding with Grace Kelly’s grandson Pierre Casiraghi in Monaco. Such an achingly chic combination makes it almost hard to type… but there are more VVIPs (Valentino VIPs) to ogle, so we’ll continue. Maria and Pierpaolo took the house’s design reins in 2008 and have formulated a trusted, timeless and oft-copied kind of modern ultra-femininity: delicate, never frou-frou and instantly recognisable for their bohemian princess-ness and fine use of lace. The ready-to-wear looks can be just as…

CLOSE YOUR EYES FOR a moment and try to imagine leaving work on the dot of 5pm. How does it make you feel? For most of us, the thought of leaping up from our desks the instant we’re no longer paid to sit at them is outlandish. The whole idea makes me feel actively anxious – wouldn’t everyone think I was a total slacker? And isn’t being lazy one of the worst things a person can be? For the last few years, the Government has been urging us to work as hard as possible to offset the effects of the recession. But there now seems to be an acknowledgement that size (of your work day) isn’t everything. Last week, the Education Secretary nicky Morgan said that teachers shouldn’t mark homework…

BECKY’S *  AVERAGE SATURDAY is much like that of any other 20-year-old student. She’ll go shopping for clothes, meet up with friends for lunch, and fit in a driving lesson before heading home. Which is when she’ll get ready: doing her hair and make-up, and choosing an outfit for the evening ahead. Only she isn’t heading to a bar or club. She’s preparing for a night as a cam girl, talking to – and stripping off for – men, via her laptop webcam. If recent figures are to be believed, this is quickly becoming a desperate last option for many young women. A 2015 study of 1,900 students by money advice site Save The Student found that one in five students had turned to extreme solutions such as sex…

YUYU Tuck shop The demi tuck started on the streets of Paris with Emmanuelle Alt & Co, but here it’s been moved on a conceptual notch. A white shirt (this one’s by & Other Stories) is the perfect partner to a jazzy skirt. Animal on acid For the next season all manner of animal print is back – and it’s louder than ever.YuYu’s already on the case with this House of Holland neon green tiger-print skirt. Classic kicks Nothing sobers up a fashiontastic look quite like a pair of subtle sneakers. These are adidas and won’t run out of steam for quite some time, we predict. SARA Berry lippy Adding a little gothic drama to the proceedings (and FYI, that’s a hot ticket for A/W ’1 5) is Sara’s dark…

GIZZI ERSKINE’S NEW COOKBOOK , Gizzi’s Healthy Appetite, unapologetically features dairy, sugar and wheat. Her recipe for Wet & Wild Garlic Chicken Kievs oozes garlic butter, Mozzarella en Carozza is made with (whisper it) white bread, and the more-ish Molten Caramel & Chocolate Puddings don’t hold back with the double cream. ‘Clean eating’ this book most definitely is not – in fact, it is a deliberate act of rebellion against the movement that preaches ditching gluten, sugar and dairy. ‘Clean eating is not healthy eating,’ says Gizzi firmly. ‘In my opinion, it’s a really unhealthy attitude, and the message is completely wrong. It’s suggesting that eating raw foods and vegan foods is the healthiest way of living and it’s not. Any good nutritionist will tell you that we need a…

Like Lucy Vine, I’m treated like a teenager at times just because I haven’t had kids yet. However, I am a 36-year-old wife, who works full time and has had a lot of good and bad experiences that make me – I think – a been-there-and-done-that rounded adult. I am also a doting aunt to nephews and nieces, and take care of them a lot. Yet I am still treated like a youngster and not taken seriously. The only time the adults talk to me as if I am grown up is when they want to ask when I will have babies. It’s just best to laugh it off, though. We all have our own lives and, in a way, I like being seen as young and free… for now.…

Photos: New York cover:Amanda Demme. Additional image: Rex Features. *Names have been changed THERE ISTOO MUCH to say about NewYork magazine’s cover story; too much emotion and too much devastation to convey here.Thirty five women all sit in rows with their hands in their laps, connected only by their stories of sexual assault at the hands of legendaryTV actor Bill Cosby, ranging over a period of 50 years. But just as important a story comes from the empty chair that sits last, in the bottom corner, representing not just the 11 other unnamed women who have accused the actor of assault, but every other survivor of rape out there who has yet to speak out. Within hours of the cover’s appearance online, #TheEmptyChair was trending onTwitter. Award-winning US Journalist Elon…

Photos:Alpha, Getty Images, Rex Features, Reuters, Wenn WHEN BOBBI KRISTINA HOUSTON died last week surrounded by inconsolable relatives, it was impossible to ignore the shadow cast by her tragic mother, Whitney. Bobbi’s death at the age of 22 was not a shock to any of those in the room at the Peachtree Christian Hospice in Georgia, or in fact anyone in the music business. Many believe it was the inevitable and horrific outcome of her mother’s drug-induced death three years ago, aged 48, exacerbated by feuds between her father Bobby Brown, her alleged ‘husband’ nick Gordon and the Houstons. Last week’s statement from the Houston family saying Bobbi was ‘finally at peace in the arms of God’ had been written before her death, and the coffin had been chosen, along…

Photos: Getty Images, Matrix, Shutterstock I CATCH MY BOYFRIEND watching news coverage of the compromised Ashley Madison dating website, which sets up adulterous liaisons, and whose users are trembling on the brink of having their details released by hackers. ‘Love, I’ve got something to tell you…’ my boyfriend goes, so I give him a look. Not because he has Ashley Madison platinum membership (he doesn’t. I’m pretty sure…), but because this is his idea of a gag. Leter, I learn about OpenMinded.com, a website which offers a similar service to Ashley , Madison, only it describes its vibe as ‘ethical cheating’, because it encourages users to tell their partners they’re contemplating infidelity. ‘How’s that ethical?’ says my married friend G, who is no stranger to affairs. ‘It’s just self-righteous. Self-righteous…

HERE’S THE THING: weddings are dreadful. They are dreadful – don’t try to deny it. They are unbelievably expensive, they are one of the most stressful things anyone ever goes through, and they cause all kinds of family arguments, when you don’t want to invite Aunt Linda, who you haven’t seen for 15 years and who always gets too drunk, but your dad says you absolutely have to because you all went to your cousin’s wedding. But much bigger than that – much more important – is that I think that piece of paper you come out with is meaningless but can change everything. It can ruin relationships. And that’s why I have no intention of ever getting married. But I am engaged. I met Emma* , now 33, in…

IT ALL BEGAN BACKSTAGEAT new York Fashion Week, where clouds of metallic eyeshadow pigment preceded a catwalk full of copper-lidded beauties at Thakoon and Altuzarra. The other fashion capitals were quick to follow suit, with nails, cheeks and lips dressed in this most-wanted metal popping up at Emilio Pucci, Hervé Léger and Temperley London. ‘While gold and silver showcase backstage season after season, this year’s fascination with the ’70s has inspired a more organic take on things, encouraging an abundance of copper tones that can create warm and soft, but equally glamorous make-up statements,’ explains Dior international pro make-up artist jamie Coombes. And in case you were wondering, copper’s universal ability to flatter comes down to its earthy undertones, which blend into any skin tone. Gold and silver create a…

MALARIA DISCOVERY Over a million people die of malaria every year, so brilliant news that a vaccine has been given the go - ahead after 30 years of trials. The Mosquirix vaccination could be available within the next few years. BREAKING NEWS... OILY FISH MAKES YOU HAPPIER A recent study found those taking antidepressants saw an improvement in mood when they ate oily fish. Researchers at the Amsterdam Academic Medical Center found patients who ate oily fish once a week or more had a 75% improvement compared to those who didn’t (they saw a 23% improvement). Omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish boost brain health, concentration and memory, and reduce stress and low moods. So tuck into salmon, sardines and mackerel every week and take a fish oil supplement: we…

Photos: Packard Stevens, Petite Meller/Instagram ‘INGENUE’ IS A LOADED WORD INA sexualised world, but seldom does it sum up a singer the way it does with Parisian pop star Petite Meller. With her wafting whisper of a voice (both spoken and sung), birdlike frame to match her small name, plaited golden hair and eternally blushed cheeks, she has the knowingly innocent look of a latter-day Lolita. Just don’t tell her she’s pretending to be a child. ‘I’m not playing,’ she says, with a pretend scowl. ‘It’s all in people’s interpretation. I’m looking at how, as a girl, you’re discovering sexuality for the first time. Dealing with it is a kind of psychoanalysis.’ Getting deep into the psyche is key to understanding Petite’s look and sound. Her lyrics rake over the…

Carbs ‘I’m pro carbs – but don’t eat too many. We should be averaging (depending on gender and height) 60g- 1100g carbs per meal.’ Sugar ‘Don’t go crazy. A small amount of cake or sweets isn’t going to affect us that badly, but it’s something we should be aware of.’ Fat ‘Fat is back! Good vegetable oils, fish oils, coconut oil and butter are all good for you. And ghee is even better!’ Meat ‘Eat better protein and less of it. Buy from a butcher and use small producers who rear animals ethically.’ Vegetables ‘Roast them, mash them, rice them, juice them. Make sure over 50 per cent of your daily food intake is made up of them.’ Dairy ‘If you really are intolerant, go for almond milk over soya,…

What I’m watching IF KATIE HOPKINS RULED THE WORLD Has it come to this? Sadly, yep. Katie Hopkins is a naff middle-class revenge on realityTV; the Coldplay to Jade Goody’s Sex Pistol. She shares some lineage with Christine Hamilton and Edwina Curry – memorable women magically freed from ridiculous gender expectations of kindness. Like them, Hopkins is a weighing scale in which the liberal media choose to measure their virtue. Yet, there is something in the long, feckless, list of her personal prejudices that makes you wonder whether we should collectively draw a line under her march toward omnipresence. And that maybe the advent of an aerated chat show flippantly imagining a world under her governance should be the reason why. Does someone who dances with extreme ideology on the…

WOMEN OF THE WORLD I loved Lucy Vine’s ‘I’m not taken seriously – because I don’t have children’ (27 july). I felt so much of it rang true, despite being a single mother to two children under three. I’ve been asked by so many people – strangers and friends alike – whether becoming a mother has made me truly understand love, fear and responsibility. Yes, I am responsible for two other (awesome) little human beings – but it annoys me! It is as though my life before was frivolous and only now has meaning. And it irritates me on behalf of everyone who doesn’t have children for whatever reason: they are capable of feeling the full range of emotions and should not be treated as ‘incomplete’. Life has meaning with…

EVER SINCE THEY ANNOUNCED that they were to divorce in june, Ben Affleck and jennifer Garner have put on a united front. not only have they regularly been pictured with their three children, but they have both continued to wear their wedding rings and even flew to the Bahamas on holiday together in the wake of their split. But last week their seemingly perfect separation was thrown into turmoil when US reports claimed that Ben, 42, had been secretly dating the family’s former nanny, Christine Ouzounian, 28. US Weekly magazine reported: ‘jen in shock: he’s › dating the nanny!’ The magazine alleged that he and Christine ‘had developed an attraction’ shortly after she began working with Ben and jennifer and their children, Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three, this…

WE ALL KNOW Kardashian workout regimes and body aspirations are way beyond the norm, but peering into Khloé’s new ‘fitness closet’ following its reveal to the world would drop the jaws of even the biggest adrenalin junkies. We repeat, this is a whole wardrobe devoted just to her gym gear, filled to the brim with rail after rail of colour-coordinated sweatshirts, leggings and trainers. It’s like looking through the window at nikeTown. The brainchild of Lisa Adams, CEO of LA Closet Design, Khloé’s fit-robe spans 150 sq ft (the size of an average bedroom). Lisa told Grazia last week, ‘Khloé’s direction was to make the closet lighter, brighter and more functional. I wanted her to feel as if she is “shopping in her closet”, as she would at nike or…

WHEN THERE’S A NEW ADDITION to the Great British high street, our concentration and wallets stand to attention. Meet MO&Co, China’s hippest affordable label and, in a nutshell, like a cheeky lovechild of H&M and zara. After years of British designers turning to China to find their fortune, it seems the tables are turning, with a raft of up-and-coming Chinese names – think Huishan zhang and Guo Pei – making waves in London and beyond. And now MO&Co is set to follow suit. With over 600 stores on its home turf catering to a population of over 1 billion, MO&Co is not only one of China’s most successful high-street brands but it also attracts the most sought-after models for its campaigns: this season’s face is Freja Beha. And now you…

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED to jack in your career and opt for something wildly different? Then you may have noticed – particularly on Instagram and especially among fashion industry folk – that right now it seems everyone is giving up the regular grind for a new life in floristry. Touted as the happiest job going, starting a career in flowers is friendlier than most – part-time or evening courses allow you to dip a toe in before fully committing. But it’s still surprising to see high-flying fashion power people eschewing the glamour of the FROW,, fabulous parties, wonderful clothes and global travel in favour of 4am starts at the flower market, isn’t it? Flowers and fashion, fashion and flowers. From embroidered pansies on a Christopher Kane biker jacket to the…
