Christopher Shannon’s Verdúu perfume: a heady cocktail.

Going up

Food smells Key to Christopher Shannon’s Verdúu perfume, along with sulphur and copper. A heady cocktail.

Self-help A key theme of Blouse, the new unisex shirting label launched by Geoffrey J Finch, formerly of Topshop and Antipodium. Our favourite is the lace Shickle shirt. 

Criminal Minds Olivier Rousteing’s choice of chill TV. Expect FBI profilers dressed in Balmain cocktail wear any time now.

Stage-leisure As seen on stage at Manchester’s adaptation of Persuasion. Neutrals and blacks and joggers, very Céline.

Exhibition Road The V&A’s extension is open. Time to marvel at the ceramic tiled courtyard.

‘Mangas’ Spanish for ‘sleeves’. Apparently heard shouted by sleeve-obsessive Cristóbal Balenciaga.

Going down

Polly Pocket bags We’re all for 90s nostalgia, but this is one throwback best left in the past.

Katie Price

Millennial pink We’re calling it – it’s gone mass, and primary colours are the future.

Lie-ins Much as we love them, apparently they’re causing “social jet lag”. Hand us the coffee pot.

Noom A sort of Weight Watchers with a social media presence aimed at millennials. Being chased by Fitness Cookies on Facebook is an ironic step too far…

Selfie sticks Yes, obvs. But their awfulness has now been upped by Selfiefeet, a phone clamp that straps to your shoe. A whole new level.
