Frugi Organic Clothing - it’s the way forward!
Since discovering the brand it has been a solid staple in the wardrobe of both my little angels. In 2008 the company changed its name to Frugi, meaning ‘Fruits of the Earth’ in Latin, it was at this point that the collection grew to also include gorgeous clothing for older children and breastfeeding wear for mums. The clothing is all organic, pure, soft and snuggly. It is kind to babies and young children’s delicate skin and there are no harmful chemicals or dangerous dyes. Plus organic cotton is durable and long-lasting meaning you can hand it down for generations. Also all of Frugi’s outerwear, backpacks, lunch bags, pencil cases and coin purses have been made from post-consumer recycled materials - using all of those plastic drink bottles that are thrown away in household waste. Frugi take great pride in the relationships they have developed with the companies and people who supply their goods. They regularly visit their suppliers to make sure that everything is in ship shape and working to the Frugi code of conduct.
Windle & Moodie | Three Decades of Hair Excellence
It’s not hard to see why the salon boasts such a long-standing success—this duo have styled for the likes of Vogue, Elle and Hugo Boss to name a few, and their loyal celebrity regulars include names like Cara Delevingne. The style of the salon has never dated and even with it’s sleek modern industrial interior has an incredibly friendly and welcoming atmosphere which washes over you as soon as you walk in. I was seen almost immediately by my colourist who seemed to know exactly what I wanted without me even having to explain and I was left with a strong sense of reassurance as I waited for her to mix up my colour. After a relaxing 20 minutes underneath the heat lamp I was taken downstairs to a room which resembled a spa more than a hair salon. The lighting was dim and my hair was washed and head massaged expertly as I relaxed in one of the reclining chairs. I believe I may of actually fallen asleep as the hair mask was left in to work it’s magic. Windle & Moodie use all their own in-house products inspired by tea or volcanic ash, after being introduced to the world of French pharmacy hair care.
Celebrating India Pop-up - Pippa Small Interview
When did you know you wanted to start a jewellery line based on ethical consumption? The two go hand in hand; I come from a background in anthropology and have a masters in medical anthropology and human rights. I suppose I’ve been stringing things and beads my wrists for years, an almost-jewellery designer from a young age. When I started working in Borneo, I started working with NGO’s with human rights. To come from a more human rights background really informs our brand ethos, we work very ethically and want to be assured that we have very transparent working relationships and to help people, from working with artisans from conflict areas from Afghanistan to help people who have been forced out of their home and to help them. What I think is really important is to help people live a more sustainable life and to feel proud of what they are creating and to help.
My London Fashion Week - VanillaOnTop
"A week full of inspiration and breathtaking designs; bloggers, press, designers ,as well as clients from all over the world, come to see the new Autumn/Winter 2019 collections at the two London Fashion Weeks held each year. Me and my sister Tiia Camilla Pötry, also known as my manager, had the honour to attend several fashion shows and presentations including the Junne, Kalissi, and Magpies & Peacocks shows. Magpies & Peacocks showed their new collection created from upcycled textiles. It was truly inspiring and interesting to see the perfect hand prints featured in every design. Kalissi took us into a different world; such a colourful and surreal show! It was high fashion with a brave twist and powerful statements. Many pastel shades, as well as different textures like tweed and silk, were surrounding us the entire evening. One of many astounding elements was the exceptional colourful headpieces worn on the catwalk. Hats and turbans made from silk or fur were crucial elements this year in many of the shows.
Ethical engagement rings by Lydia McCarthy-keen
The stunning range includes 24 designs, including wedding bands in recycled gold, palladium or platinum and engagement rings, featuring lab-grown diamonds and lab-grown gem stones. Prices for Lydia McCarthy-Keen engagement rings range from £598, for the 0.17 carat Bijou Etoiles design to £10,900 for the Impressioner, a 2.08 carat ring with a 1.26 round brilliant diamond centre stone, surrounded by 12 lab-grown diamonds. Lydia McCarthy-Keen is launching the business to begin the end of the diamond mining industry, citing child labour and environmental damage associated with traditional diamond mining as reasons to source and supply an ethical alternative. Child labour is conducted in Republic of Angola, Republic of Sierra Leone, Republic of Liberia, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, and Republic of Guinea. A popular labour in the diamond mining industry, children are cheap to use and are able to enter narrow cavities in mines and have better eyesight to locate diamonds.
Christian Dior, Designer of Dreams
Across 11 theatrical sections, displays showcase the exquisite skill and craftsmanship of the Dior ateliers and the successive artistic directors of the house of Dior. Christian Dior’s admiration for British royalty and aristocracy is thoroughly explored; the house organised private shows for Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, and the designer’s most notable clients included author Nancy Mitford and ballerina Margot Fonteyn. The stunning flower ceiling room displays Christian Dior’s love for florals and reflects his frequent visits to stately gardens and how this has dripped down through other creative directors of the house's works; creating their own vision of the brand but staying true to the ethos. Walking through to the final and most beautiful room of all; the couture lounge, projections are cast across the ceilings and walls, changing the space from an atelier’s Parisian townhouse to a renaissance mural, ending on a constellation as if visitors are transported through the stars among these divine creations.

The evening ended with the sound of applause for Natalia Zabova’s and jewellery designer Ari Benz's much appreciated dress designs and jewellery, respectively. Head makeup artist was Marta Wozniak.
