What’s hot and what’s not in fashion this week

Going up



Status ceramics Term for mugs that are usable but fancy enough to have on display. We’ll take the Workaday mug in blue.

White Converse Back, as seen on the Saint Laurent catwalk. Wear scuffed.

John Berger’s Ways Of Seeing A perennial entry, but filmed being read at a rave in Bristol so also on our shelves.

Norman Scott Or, more specifically, Ben Whishaw as Scott. Jumper inspo for winter.

Falconry In the GmbH campaign, and McQueen was a fan, as seen in the new documentary. Leather gloves at the ready.

WWF The charity, not the wrestlers, now in an unlikely – but worthwhile – collab with Fiorucci.

Man pony Coined by Alexa Chung, this is a ponytail rather than a bun for men. Either way, cut it off.

Reducetarianism An absurd and highfalutin term for a nice concept: a little less of everything (plastic and booze, say).

Screens in the bedroom Beyoncé is all about a newspaper for lazy downtime. Same.

Mix’n’matching It’s all about the co-ord this summer, which translates to: it’s back on trend to be matchy-matchy.
