WORK IT LIKE NAOMI
It is turning out to be quite the year for Naomi Campbell. In June the V&A will open its first ever retrospective on a model, celebrating Streatham’s finest. First, to whet your Campbell-appetite comes her capsule collection with Boss which is sure to add power-walk attitude to your office commute. You’ll find easy, practical suiting in timeless soft grey and black and classic collar-less shirting alongside draped knits, a high shine trench and for those on the prowl, muted leopard print tracksuits which she claims are a proven anti-stress device. Reassuringly Campbell offers: ‘Everyone knows I’m a bit of a germaphobe, so of course we’ve added anti-bacterial properties to ensure freshness and cleanliness. These are the kind of pieces that reflect my own lifestyle — always ready for the next adventure, but never compromising on style.’ What more could any aspiring fashion mogul want.

POP YOUR RED CHERRY
Adding a soupçon of bright red to your look is this season’s easiest way to appear au courant. Emma Stone and Hailey Bieber have both been spotted throwing in a dash of red punctuation (in a shoe, or bag) to otherwise pared back looks. Happily, cashmere aficionado Lisa Yang has popped a few deliciously tomato pieces into her anniversary collection marking 10 years of business. ‘No one has a better understanding of the craft of cashmere production than our producers in Inner Mongolia — they are like part of the family,’ says Yang of how she’s developed her label from her Stockholm atelier, adding, ‘I have learnt so much about how far you can push the boundaries of cashmere design.’ You’ll find reissues of her covetably soft knits and trousers, as well as the highly tempting roll-neck Holly sweater and sweet Oma bag, which is the kind of comfort blanket we can get on board with.
