Fix Up, Look Smart

When asked about her style icon, the late Isabella Blow responded “My style icon is anyone who makes a bloody effort.”

With these words in mind, this month’s shoot features an ecclectic array of styles and colours for the new season to add some pizzazz to your spring wardrobe.

Spring/summer 2014 sees the return of the dandyman, but try dressing down the look with a cap or trainers to soften its formal feel.

Perk up with some pretty pastels during gloomy January days, dare to bear with some racy lace or opt for monochrome, synonymous with minimalist chic, for the new season.
