from the editor... As the seasons turn from wintery cold to blustery showers and finally fresh, warm days it can be somewhat of a challenge to find the right things to wear. The unpredictable spring weather means spring fashion needs to be hugely flexible, but as a general rule you can’t go wrong with bold colours and shorter sleeves paired with a cute blazer and a light cotton scarf – we all know layering is the key to a changeable climate! This month’s issue is handily packed full of fashion features designed to ensure you are absolutely on trend this month. Our colour blocking fashion shoot provides a chic twist on this bold style (p.20), while we also speak to Kate Moss ahead of her latest collaboration with Longchamp, about personal style, the London scene and what she has in her handbag (p.28).

For your home our Spring Style trend is essential reading if you want to give your interiors a fresh makeover, think floral, pink and vintage chic on p.32. In our lead interview skiwear mogul and Hampstead resident Paul Goldstein talks about what makes a luxury item really special, and how focusing on the details ensures success even throughout a challenging recession. He talks luxury lifestyle and business success on p.8.
As the sun starts to become a more regular feature, we’re thinking about getting out and about, walking around the pretty streets of West Hampstead (p.12) enjoying an Indian fusion dinner at Trishna in Marylebone (p.75), and exploring the stunning gardens of Regent’s Park (p.80). Also this month we explore a divine Italian villa in Tuscany (p.62), escape to a luxury holiday cottage in South Devon for a weekend break (p.66) and search out the best places in town for a pre or post theatre dinner (p.74), while Matthew Carter test drives the new Audi A7 Sportback (p.50), and Hew Blair talks spring wines (p.74). May is wonderful time of the year, as summer holidays beckon and the days finally get longer and hotter. So enjoy these precious weeks, with long bank holidays, warm evenings and a sense of happiness in the air. See you next month for our one year anniversary...!
