Going up
70s Sindy Short flares, striped tops. Totally AW15.
Majorette fringing Seen on epaulettes, coats and pussy-bow blouses in Hillier Bartley’s excellent first collection.
Postmodemism Banksy’s term, coined for his Dismaland installation, to describe our messed-up internet age. We’re nicking that.
& Daughter Excellent jumpers, reasonable prices, made in Ireland and now in Selfridges. What’s not to like?
Eddie Redmayne as Lili Elbe The hair. The hats. The lipstick.
‘The state of...’ An expression of despair. As in, “Mate. The state of your life right now.” Very satisfying.
Going down
Barre core It’s all about swim meets these days. See London collective Swim Dem.
Pop-up shops We’re calling them “residencies” now. See: Loewe’s six-week temporary boutique at Selfridges.
Mary Janes On-trend this season, which is no bad thing aesthetically, but hate the sickly-sweet name. Can we rechristen them? How about block heels with a strap?
Hands Céline and Ellery are hiding them under gargantuan sleeves this season. The way you used to wear your school jumper, only chicer and a lot more expensive.
Febreze Much posher: Mr Black Denim Refresh. The solution for denim geeks who don’t like their jeans to go near washing machines.
