London Fashion Week wraps up today and in the weirdest year ever, the fashion industry is at last pressing refresh and heeding climate campaigner’s desperate call-out for meaningful change. For years fashion has been cited as one of the world’s most polluting industries and indeed, with irresponsible manufacturing processes, untraceable supply chains and a pressure
Although universally regarded as a trend setter, the fashion industry has in fact long performed the role of giant reflector to what is going on in the wider world. Like a well accessorized mirror, it has the ability to absorb and interpret societal shifts, political climate, technological developments and even the weather, reflecting back at
Bored of your usual haircut but not ready for a completely new look? Story of my goddamn life. If, like me, you crave a subtle change but can’t quite bring yourself to have a drastic pixie cut or bleach blonde dye job, it could be time to try undercover layers, a technique which will help

I can vividly remember my first experience of second-hand shopping. It was about 2001, on a Saturday morning running errands with my mum, when we popped into a small Oxfam shop in my hometown. I felt like I’d stepped into a tiny grotto of rare and wonderful objects; an Aladdin’s Cave of books, clothes and

Unless you had shares in Zoom or Peloton, you’re probably somewhat fed up with how the past few months have turned out. Let’s face it, 2020 has not been a great year for much. This may be nowhere more evident than in your career. You may have been furloughed or made redundant, or perhaps you

Is your eyesight worse since lockdown began? Thanks to hours spent staring at Zoom and losing chunks of sleep (hello, 3am overthink), my eyes have definitely been feeling the strain.

Back when the FLARE team shared an IRL office space (RIP to my abandoned aloe plant…), my mornings looked a little something like this: rush to get up the elevators in time for our 8:30 a.m. daily meeting (for which, I admittedly showed up to at approx 8:32 most days), hit the button on my
In the grand tradition of women generally being totally screwed, we have the gender pay gap, the gender pension gap and now…we give you…the gender mortgage gap!

The leading woman in romantic comedies has long needed to be looked at, re-evaluated and cast as someone who fully reflects the world we actually live in.

Getting more wear out of your lockdown loungewear is one way to hit the 30 wears target of sustainable style. During the UK’s lockdown Britain spent £40.6billion on ‘dispensable’ buys, such as fashion (according to Barclaycard.) Loungewear and activewear were, unsurprisingly, the biggest-selling categories. But instead of letting those comfy cosies languish on the sofa
Industry without inspiration never leaves a lasting impact. Hard work and discipline often produce a reliable product but, without the spark of love behind its creation, posterity will take a dim view of its ultimate worth. Ten years ago, worldwide charting singer/songwriter, musician, and producer Stephen Wrench launched Musik and Film, LLC, henceforth referred to
Lipstick? I don’t know her I love a lip, I really do. A matte rouge bouche will forever make my spine tingle.

Originally recorded in 1976 by iconic Swedish group ABBA, the words and glamour seeking dreaminess of “Money, Money, Money” has stood the test of time.
