Editor’s LETTER
M
arch is officially spring. And while it might not feel like it yet, it's comforting to know that it soon will. Any minute now, we will all start brightening up our palettes with cheerier clothes in lighter shades, wearing fewer layers and generally emerging from the winter fug. So in this issue we're focusing on happy clothes, ranging from the delicate, vintage-inspired prints at London label Beautiful Soul to all things peach, which may sound unlikely as a new favourite shade until you have a look at page 28. For ceramic creators, collectors and the curious we've got everything you need to know about the world's leading ceramics fair on page 16. It's the perfect opportunity to pick up unique pieces for the home; from every-day cereal bowls to sublime sculptural pieces. We'll need to pick up a new piece for the soirees we’ll soon be hosting, inspired by Deliciously Ella’s top tips for a modern dinner party on page 42. And at home, we’re taking inspiration from new shops; retail havens to pick up new-season treats and lust over their exquisite interiors. So here's to you, spring. We hope you enjoy the issue. ◆
