Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. I have long maintained that the worst thing you can do to me is send me an email. But lately, I’ve had to revise that stance to “maybe some emails are good.” Between Molly Young’s books newsletter Read Like the Wind,

TikTok has become quite the source of education – if it’s not offering viral beauty hacks we’d actually never heard of before (like covering our entire faces with lipstick to create a dewy glow), it’s suddenly having us raiding the fridge and kitchen cupboards to whip up baked oats or multicoloured rainbow pancakes. And guess
Ironically enough, in Simone Rocha’s early days showing at London Fashion Week, the most truly subversive thing you could do was go against the punk-influenced grain of the time. Back when the leather-and-chain-clad off-duty model ruled, Rocha presented a counter-narrative larded with lace, bows, pearls, and, yes, even the dreaded pink. A look from the
It seems we’ve never been quite so spoilt when it comes to TV shows. Whether it’s Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC or Apple TV, there have been plenty of brilliant, binge-worthy dramas to tune into when we’ve needed it most, particularly as we’ve all been lying fairly low over the past year thanks to the pandemic.

This morning it fell to the high street to provide fashion fans all over the world with the kind of shopping thrill that’s been unsurprisingly lacking during lockdown.

What was a childhood dream of yours? One of them was to be a singer. Who do you turn to when you need someone most? Family of mine. What was the first song you remember playing on repeat that made you want to get into music? Playing a song on dulcimer, before starting primary school. Tell us
