Victoria Beckham’s 10th Anniversary – Taking it home

After 10 years showcasing in New York, the designer featured her collection at London Fashion Week where Stella Tenant opened the show at Mayfair’s Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac. Since launching her brand in 2008, Victoria Beckham has gone from tight bodycon fitting dresses to a more structured, clean and confident silhouette. If there's one thing the brand stands for its giving their customers what they seek - a part of Beckham’s personality and curated aesthetic, which has visibly strengthened overtime. To commemorate the brands anniversary, Victoria Beckham has launched limited runs of her Tshirt which features the designers tongue in cheek shot of her legs appearing haphazardly spread out inside an oversized shopping bag. Photographed by Juergen Teller, the campaign is a recreation of a shoot they collaborated on in 2008 - Beckham's first foray into fashion.

Fashions Finest SS19 Collection at London Fashion Week

The Sybarite went along to the SS19 showcase during London Fashion Week to take a look at the up-and-coming talent on show. International designers showcased their latest designs at Fashions Finest SS19 during the weekend at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in Holborn, London. Starting off with Nepalese brand Gauhar which focused on oversized male garments in exotic, colourful textiles, it proved to be an eclectic, inclusive and colourful mix of styles on the runway on Saturday. Next up was Misora Nakamori, showcasing an interesting white, black and metallic futuristic womenswear collection. Nakamori, who is a recent Masters graduate in womenswear at the Royal College of Art in London, describes her style as "combining decent traditional techniques and details with some accents of odd shapes or materials to suggest unique yet futuristic ideas." One of Nakamori's previous collections, Misora, was centred on the notion that "we are recording every day, every moment and every event in life paths, all of which build [our] current selves."

An Interview with Pas De Marque’s founder and CEO Olga...

How did you launch your jewellery business? This was my childhood dream. I grew up watching my mum, aunt and grandmother create beautiful things with their own hands - I learnt sewing, knitting, crocheting, stitching and jewellery crafting from them. As a kid, I spent all my weekends and holidays beading bracelets with my friends and I used to have a huge collection of beads and findings. Back then, I only had glass and plastic beads, of course. It was much later, that I started working with expensive, precious materials. It always seemed to me that this kind of business isn’t serious enough. That’s why I got education in another sphere - I have a bachelor degree in International Economics and Commercial Diplomacy. After University, I tried working in a family business, the international hotel chain Wellton. But I always felt like something was missing. So in 2014 I decided to take a risk. I registered my own company, created an Instagram account, ordered a small batch of materials and started creating jewellery at home. For 1 and a half years I was the only employee in ”pas de marque” responsible for manufacturing, marketing, delivery and all the rest. At first, the orders came only from friends, but then more and more people from Riga turned to me in search of beautiful handmade jewellery,  so I decided I needed an assistant and a shop.

Review of Penhaligon’s Perfumes – a regal treasure trove of scents

Taking your breath away, captivating and divine, Penhaligon's perfume selections are treasure troves of gorgeous potions in delectable vintage-esque bottles boxed up in their own individual intricate parcels of aesthetic curiosity.Some might call them old-fashioned and it is true, they do boast an apparent antique look and feel about them. But they are beautiful things nonetheless, and beautiful things come with style and grace like their Elisabethan Rose – mildly sweet, feminine and delicate. Though the bottle may be old fashioned, the scent is not. If there is such a thing as a modernized rose scent, then this regal fragrance could be it. It is alluring and not for every women, but for that particular woman who wants a “commanding presence”. On its head notes are, hazelnut leaf, almond oil and cinnamon with heart notes of red lily and rose finishing off with base notes of vetivert, musk and wood. Then there is something even more intriguing and one we much prefer – Empress – a scent of savviness, panache and absolute posh.

The beauty edit

The focus: antiaging and hair care. Two diverse sectors but two equally important areas of concern. These are the ones to watch (and invest in) now.

Haute Couture SS18 highlights

To echo Karl Lagerfeld’s impeccably terse thoughts, Haute Couture week is a time I personally most look forward to in the fashion calendar; where designers offer a sense of escapism amongst princess-pretty dresses and romantic scene-setting in the city of lights (and love), while the world is going to hell outside of the couture bubble. This can certainly be seen on the runway of Lagerfeld’s Chanel Garden and Giambatista Valli’s magnificent tulle creations. Elsewhere, Couture also takes on a revolutionary act, as Sarah Mower wrote for Vogue, “If there’s one thing that leads us in hopes to haute couture, it’s surely the longing to find something to look up to.” If fashion needs someone to look up to, then Couture would be the matriarch. This is ever-so apparent in the surrealist makings of Elsa Schiaparelli and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior show, following on after last season’s ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ slogan, Spring/Summer ’18 channels Leonor Fini statements through body paint.

Featuring The best of the BAFTAs 2018

Welcoming some of the biggest names in film, the absolutely fabulous Joanna Lumley introduced this year's BAFTAs with some incredible acrobatics from the company of Cirque du Soleil. “Power to the people.” - Frances McDonagh A glamorous ceremony and a night for celebrating cinema, with Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri cleaning up five awards, including Best Film, Best British Film, Original Screenplay, Leading Actress (for Frances McDormand) and Supporting Actor (for Sam Rockwell). Meanwhile, stars showed their support for the Time's Up campaign by wearing black on the carpet, with Sam Rockwell, McDormand and Lee Unkrich using their winner's speeches to highlight issues of diversity and equality in the industry. Frances McDormand accepted her award for best leading actress in a dress, not totally in black, admitting to having a “little trouble with compliance”. Nevertheless, she said she stood in full solidarity with her sisters, “What I’m most proud of,” McDonagh told the audience, “especially in this Time’s Up year, is it is a film about a woman who refuses to take any more shit”.
