Feels so good to be able to say that we are finally back from a hiatus and just in time for the summer. For me personally time has flown by so fast like you can’t even imagine. I can’t believe that I’m now a mom to a 7-month-old baby boy. When will I get used to the idea? He is definitely keeping me busy every day, but I was so looking forward to working on a new issue of the magazine that I decided to instead of putting my feet up while the baby is napping, I should release all of my creative energy and get back to business.

This time the issue is packed with fashion and beauty news, shopping advice and more! Sienna Miller is the new face of Lindex (p14), so make sure you check out their newest collection and treat yourself to something special with 30% off online using INSPO30. I love Lindex for its Scandinavian flair, and it’s also a sustainable affordable brand. Need I say more?

Kerryn was keeping busy with photoshoots for this issue, each one better than the last. If you’re into minimalism and just can’t get enough of all things Nordic, get inspired by the Scandi editorial (p18) shot by Louie Bailey. Tired of wearing the same old stuff to the office? We’ve got you covered! Kerryn gives some great advice for men and women (p32) on how to nail the office look.

It’s very likely that you enjoy shopping if you are reading this magazine, at least a little bit. There are so many stores, so much to choose from, we thought we’ll make it easier for you and make some suggestions from technology to swimwear. (star ting at p36).

Even though summer hasn’t even star ted yet, in fashion we always look one season ahead. We bring you inspiration for the next season from Paris, London and Vilnius (p50).

For the beauty, William Clark and Lucy did it once again! Check out a gorgeous editorial (p60) they did with Kerryn and the most beautiful face I’ve seen lately, Ella. Don’t forget to read about Lucy’s experience meeting the incredible Charlotte TIlbury (p66), and take a look at our what products we are loving this season, from nail varnishes to perfumes (star ting at p68).

merges a sense of the opening of the the Musée des Ar ts conveys an idea of

The H&M design team has delved into the museum’s collections of archival fashions in order to pick up key pieces from the last three centuries of haute couture. The result is a contemporary and ar tistic collection that is soulful, progressive, conscious and truly unique. The collection will be available in approximately 180 stores worldwide and online from April 7.

“Working with innovative sustainable materials and ornate embellishment, the collection is a layering of references, shapes and textures topped off by intensely decorative accessories and deco-inspired bijoux,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor at H&M.

12 #INSPO Issue 6 | Summer 2016

The fluid and easy silhouette revolves around languid dresses, ar ty kaftans and sculpted skir ts. Prints add a dash of surprise, turning dresses into trompe l’oeil paintings or sculptures. A long ball gown with a deep neckline features a marble draping print; a liquid dress is adorned with a

slice of Botticelli’s Three Graces. Shor t dresses and painter blouses ooze nonchalant sophistication, creating an electric and eclectic shor t-circuit between present and past.

“One of my favourite pieces from the collection is the mini asymmetric dress that was inspired by a painting by Gustave Moreau. I love the mix of a conscious, sustainable fabric and an old painting. It’s great to be able to have sustainable clothes that still look red carpet-ready,” says Julia Restoin Roitfeld, the face of the campaign.

Materials include organic silk, hemp, recycled linen and Tencel® blends as well as new innovative materials such as beads and rhinestones made from recycled glass and Denimite - a material made out of recycled worn-out denim, which H&M is the first fashion company to use.

Also new for this season’s launch of Conscious Exclusive are three wedding dresses - a feast of lightness and embellishment materialised in dreamy, draped lines, for the bride wanting to be as beautifully dressed as she is conscious.

H&M will be the exclusive sponsor of the upcoming exhibition “Fashion Forward - 300 years of Fashion” at Musée des Ar ts Décoratifs. Pamela Golbin is the Chief Curator of the exhibition.

SUITS YOU

WORDS Kerryn Grady PHOTOS Louie Bailey

32 #INSPO Issue 6 | Summer 2016

When I was younger, I had a very traditional, and boring, vision of interview dressing - suit, smar t shoes, minimal accessories. For men and women. You wanted to appear professional, reliable and capable. As someone who has always been a bit head-in-the-clouds (a typical Pisces) and lacking in confidence, I also thought I should completely disguise any trace of my true, awkward self.

Then I discovered grunge and teen rebellion, and was adamant I would never be a suit-wearing pen-pusher with a stifled identity.

While I’ve grown up, failed many an interview and thus toned down these ideals since my teens, workwear - and par ticularly interviewwear - has become a minefield of sar torial obstacles. How do you show that you are professional, reliable and capable, yet express that you are creative, intelligent, compassionate, have a sense of humour…? (Well, I suppose the answer is write a good CV and prepare well for your interview, but that wouldn’t make for a very interesting piece of fashion writing, would it? Anyway, in this instance we’re talking about first impressions… ) Ladies, for once I think we have a slightly easier job here.

Basically, keep it smar t and chic.

Having ditched my baggy pants and oversized sweater days, I now love a sophisticated trouser and jacket combo, erring on the side of smar t androgyny, which could be a safer option for managerial/senior positions, or careers in more corporate industries. I love this Paul & Joe twopiece paired with the striped Baum Und Pferdgar ten top.

The crinkled texture and mint humbug stripes are graphic and demonstrate a subtle risk-taking edge (if you consider going to an interview in a creased top without making any attempt to iron it risky, which I do). Adding a pop of colour with those fabulous Lucy Choi cour t shoes is bound to be a conversation star ter, giving you the oppor tunity to show more of your personality outside of the stoic interview questions. The same goes for the statement Kenzo bag. These are the little details they will remember about you - nothing too frivolous or inappropriate, just a smar t outfit with beautiful accessories that will linger in their mind’s eye.

If you prefer a brighter, more feminine ensemble, look no fur ther that this gorgeous graphic printed midi skir t by L.K Bennett. This hero piece is sure to garner some attention in the work place! The muted pale grey fine knit gives a more demure, professional finish to the look, and I would add the chunkier heeled sandals to avoid girlish overload.

In an interview scenario, it’s the finishing touches that count… This beautiful, buttery soft navy leather jacket from Whistles would be the perfect cool-girl cover-up for media, PR, fashion, marketing or design-related jobs, where you can get away with a little bit more edge. For a more polished look, try a statement necklace. (opposite page) Leather Jacket, Whistles, £330; Jumper, Whistles, £65; Skir t, L.K. Bennett at Very Exclusive, £225; Shoes, Whistles, £175.

Gents, for you, dressing to impress your interviewers can be nothing shor t of nightmarish. A corporate interview should be pretty cut and dry - suit, shir t, tie and and black shoes. Throw in a subtle but quirky pair of socks or cufflinks to add some character, but nothing too garish. But not all formal interviews are quite so… boardroom chic, shall we say? Richard, a mental health nurse practitioner for the NHS, has observed more young people conducting interviews, and they often notice and comment on what people have worn. He himself has always worn suits when being interviewed but has recently relaxed the look, wearing an open collar with no tie, indicating a more informal approach.

This beautifully cut Hackett London suit is perfect for a more professional setting, with the lighter shade of grey and fine blue grid checks being a spring-friendly option. The spotted Ted Baker shir t adds a subtly quirky but unobtrusive edge. I love Happy Socks, the sock brand championing graphic prints and bold colour-ways on life’s most neglected clothing essentials.

A little flash of your checkered ankles as you take your seat will hint at a sense of fun and inevitably put a smile on your interviewer’s face.

Interviewing in a more creative industry star ts to get tricky. After querying a number of my creative male friends about the suitability of jeans, I was met with a resounding yes, provided they have a neat, slim cut in a darker or coloured wash. I posed the question to former fashion stylist, Ian, who suggests; ‘If it’s fashion, the rules could be bent, [but] if it was, for example, creative adver tising, I’d say a suit, but perhaps something more contemporary with interesting, yet tasteful detailing and accessories.’

I would definitely approach the jeans question with caution, opting for a pair of slim cut chinos, instead, in a muted but interesting colour, such as these burgundy trews from ASOS.com. Ties may be traditionally associated with suiting (and we’ve established it’s not always necessary to wear a tie with your suit), but the kids today wear them with a sense of irony, so I’m all for an ironic interview tie. Men, take a leaf out of our books and try clashing your prints by pairing this bold striped tie with a paler seersucker striped shir t.

This John Lewis coat, inspired by the classic trench, gives a contemporary spin on an old-school favourite and makes a change from the usual blazer or heavy wool coat, ideal for the milder temperatures of Spring.

A little bit of careful styling - rolled up trouser cuffs, buttoned-to-the-top collar - and there you have a stylish, work-friendly outfit guaranteed to make a lasting first impression.

THE MOST HYPED ITEMS OF THE SEASON

A luxury staple in anyone’s wardrobe, Gucci’s Dionysus bag is as verstatile as it is eye-catching.

The sliding chain strap can be worn multiple ways, changing between a shoulder and a top handle bag for optimum versatility.

A bomber jacket is the item to invest in this season, and there is a style to suit every taste. It’s all about the details this season with unusual colours and shapes. Brands like Saint Laurent, Gucci, Dries van Noten showed embroidered or meshed satin versions on the catwalk, but there were also quite a few floral versions for an effor tless adoption of this trend.

A bomber jacket is a really versatile piece that you can dress up or down. Throw it over a wrap dress paired with trainers for a chic spor tswear look, or put on those skinny jeans and sexy heels for a date night.

Since Jeremy Scott became the Creative Director of Moschino, we’ve seen the most extravagant and, unsurprisingly, the most coveted phone cases in the hands of every fashionista.

Smar tphones have arguably become the extension of ourselves, so this season express your playful side with a statement phone case.

For the first time Pantone, the global authority on colour, introduces two shades, Rose Quar tz and Serenity as the PANTONE Color of the Year 2016.

Paired together they demonstrate a sense of calmness and peace, which any of us could use in our hectic routines. “With the whole greater than its individual par ts, joined together Serenity and Rose Quar tz demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace,� said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

Rose Quar tz and Serenity dominated both womenswear and menswear collections (Chanel, Rober to Cavalli, Prada, Fendi). Using either shade as an accent colour instead of finding bigger pieces could help you adopt the trend easily, and show off your softer side.

Ten years ago in Paris, the fashion capital of the world, a designer who loved color dared to inject imagination into luggage, bags and the world of travel. In his new brand, the element of surprise was essential. First, the vibrant and pop colors, creating desire and changing with the time. Next, his designs are inspired by “Haute Couture”, so people can choose their bag and luggage in the same way they choose clothing. For materials, his use of silky twill nylon and shiny precious vinyl create an irresistible desire to touch. The brand opened boutiques at prestigious Paris addresses: Opéra, Saint-Germaindes-Prés, la Tour Eiffel. In these shops, you can give into the temptation to look and touch, while the transparency and simplicity of displays let color express itself to the fullest. It is a place where sales advisors emphasize fashion and style, beyond the pro uct’s convenience and lightness. Lipault successfully uses color as a source of inspiration and fashion as a vast field of expression. This is what makes Lipault one of the most desired bag and luggage brands.

CARA DELEVIGNE IS THE NEW AMBASSADOR OF RIMMEL CHARLI XCX

Multi-talented British model and actress CARA DELEVINGNE is joining Rimmel family. The London born 23 year old will star in a range of adver tising campaigns for the cutting-edge colour brand.

Famed for her strong look and trend-setting style, Cara is a natural choice to represent Rimmel. In addition to her phenomenal success as a model, she is a gifted actress with a brilliant career ahead of her as well as an inspiring young woman with an extensive fan base with over 36 million followers on social media platforms.

Talking about her new par tnership with Rimmel London, Cara comments: “I’m honoured to be working with Rimmel. It’s the first make-up brand I was introduced to as a teenager. I’m a London girl through and through and Rimmel truly captures and represents the city’s edgy, cosmopolitan beauty styles.”

Johanna Bussinelli, Chief Marketing Officer of Colour Cosmetics at Coty, says: “Cara Delevingne is the perfect embodiment of the trend-setting Rimmel brand and its edgy, streetwise personality.

With her bold, modern look, fierce fashion sense and confident stance that true beauty comes from within, Cara is globally admired for her individuality and self-expression.

NeoStrata Company, Inc., creator of the original Glycolic Acid peel, unveils a trailblazing solution for wrinkles Exuviance Targeted Wrinkle Repair. The antiaging breakthrough employs an innovative approach to target deep lines, enhancing skin’s own natural collagen and its surrounding suppor t to help volumize from within. Deep lines are softened and minimized with without needles, lasers or office visits, for natural-looking results.

EXUVIANCE® LAUNCHES TARGETED WRINKLE REPAIR

The triple-boost formula comprised of patented NeoGlucosamine®, CitraFill® and Matrixyl® Peptides works together to enhance collagen and help build skin’s own natural hydrating filler. As a result, volume is increased over time, directly beneath deep lines and creases, so they appear filled, smoother.

“Deep lines are among the most frustrating signs of aging, and historically difficult to address with topical product offerings,” says Barbara Green, Vice President of Clinical Affairs, NeoStrata Company, Inc. “Filling deep lines with an injectable can be costly, painful and sometimes leads to results that look less than natural. Exuviance Targeted Winkle Repair painlessly reduces common signs of skin aging by softening the appearance of deep expression lines over time.” Available at Exuviance.com.

“Research proves that women who wear makeup are more respected, better paid and considered more trustworthy. Beauty is power. There is no such thing as an unattractive person, but some people understand the power of makeup and some don’t...” – Charlotte Tilbury

SHEER REDHEADNESS WORDS Lucy Mckeown PHOTOS John Lewis

On an unseasonably sunny day in March, I was asked to go to meet the legendary Charlotte Tilbury to talk about her par tnership with John Lewis, called Project Confidence. Charlotte arrived on time (refreshing!) looking beautifully groomed, as you would imagine.

She glows with radiance and vitality, but this isn’t a natural bloom according to Ms Tilbury. She very honestly tells the intimate room, with only around 15 select press and bloggers in attendance, that had we all seen her that morning we would have “been bloody terrified darling!” and attributes her youthful appearance to her very beautiful skincare range. Instantaneously, the room relaxes and I already love her.

Project Confidence is the star t of an anthology of shor t beauty films that show the power makeup can have on women. Power that goes far beyond vanity or the superfluous. We were the first to see the second instalment of the films, which followed a beautiful bride and her doting mother-in-law-to-be as Charlotte used her beautiful range of products to enhance not only their pretty faces, but also their confidence, and, most surprisingly enough, their bond. They are a joy to watch, and I pretty much guarantee you will shed a tear!

Alongside Project Confidence, Charlotte has a world-famous beauty brand under her name. Charlotte Tilbury Cosmetics was born from Charlotte’s understanding of makeup (her extensive CV includes making up Kate Moss, Penelope Cruz, Natalie Por tman, etc.) and her understanding of women. It’s also plain for all to see the pride and perfection she takes in her work with the cosmetics range.

Charlotte told us a story about how much she demands from the labs that make her “treat and transform” philosophy products.

Whenever she arrives there now, she says she knows her scientists whisper “Oh no! Hide. It’s the girl with the tall order from hell!”.

Every time they tell her it cannot be done, Charlotte refuses to believe it. This is one of the reasons Charlotte’s line has been in development for so long and also the reason, I believe, it’s the fastest growing beauty brand of all time.

Charlotte engaged the room for two hours (without anyone losing interest or uttering a word) and poured over her whole line with the enthusiasm I would expect from someone discovering makeup for the first time. It is clear for anyone to see that Charlotte has not only worked incredibly hard to make a collection she believes in, but she has also put a little bit of her soul into every product.

In the foreground, invigorating and salty sea spray mingles with the botanical bitterness of sea fennel. It then develops around soft and sensual apple blossom and the wings of apricot-scented osmanthus mist.

A floral trail, blurring the perspectives between land and sea, flower and fruit, softness and bitterness... the senses are led towards far-off coastlines. 50 ml - £50 at John Lewis.
