Going up

Power ballads Total Eclipse Of The Heart was on the seating music playlist at Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn/winter menswear show. Crank up the Bonnie Tyler.

The Heart That Truly Loves Never Forgets Smythson Valentine notebook. Sounds like a schmaltzy, Valentine take on a Tracey Emin piece. Trumps Interflora.

Taraji P Henson Absolutely flippin’ incredible in new rap industry-centred drama Empire.

Illamasqua’s Glamore nude lipsticks For once, a “nude” range to suit all skin tones.

Seoul The city is now officially on the fashion radar. Chanel’s cruise collection will be shown in the South Korean capital in May. Visit now to get ahead of the curve.

Grime Wiley is making a comeback. Also, Novelist’s 1 Sec, with shout out to JD Sports, is much appreciated.

Going down

Fancy satchels A Sophie Hulme bucket bag is on our wish list for 2015.

Posting photos of fast food When did “Haha look at me! I’m so normal!” become a novelty statement? Please, scoff the Big Mac in private.

The pocket square Can we kill this trend now, men? A retro step too far.

Normal safety pins Piin, a new label, makes fastening your clothes a bit of a statement. Our favourites are the pearls. Very Dior tribal earrings.

Coloured corduroy on men Great worn by a 22-year-old model. Veering scarily close to old Sloane territory on anyone over 35.
