It ' s that time of year again , the air is crisp , the days are getting shorter , and it ' s finally time to swap out the summer clothing for something a little warmer . Don ' t worry , though ; we have you set with cosy jumpers , stylish outerwear , and chunky boots . The main trends we focus on in this issue are bold brights - perfect for cheering up dull days , quilting and everything that sparkles .
Are you in need of a new coat ? We have featured our favourite outerwear pieces that should keep you snug and stylish throughout the winter ( page 22 ).
We have two fashion editorials featured in this issue . For our first shoot , ' Down on the Farm ', Mark Stephenson photographs Tilly in earthy tones and textures at Master Farms . Our second shoot , ' After Dark ,' was shot at Vinifera – the perfect backdrop for Laina , who looked terrific in velvets , blacks and golds .
After a weird , pandemic-stricken 18 months , it finally seems like things are returning to normal , so this issue focuses on celebration .
Harriet Rouse , the owner of Harriet & Rose , dons our cover in a beautiful Self-Portrait dress . Not only has Harriet kept her online business going during Covid , but she has also opened up a gorgeous shop right on King Street . Harriet talks about all things retail and her journey to bricks and mortar ( page 43 ).
Abi Overland is known for her stunning illustrations , but she is also an advocate for slow fashion . She talks all about her love of second-hand styling and charity shop finds ( page 24 ).
Whilst we ' re concentrating on celebrating , Stephen Cohu shares why preloved jewellery has so much to offer , including individuality and value for money ( page 18 ).
This issue also includes a six-page gift guide - full of ideas at every price , Christian Gott shares his recipes for a traditional Christmas dinner , and Kate Morrison tells us all about her favourite products for a festive glam makeover .
Whatever your plans may be over the Christmas period , stay safe and enjoy !
