Glastonbury has come around once more. Now that Summer has officially started (ignoring the odd rain shower of course), Glastonbury festival marks the highlight of Summer for so many.
As hundreds of thousands of revellers make the pilgrimage to Worthy Farm, will you be joining them?
Without a doubt, with over 100 stages across the site, Glastonbury festival certainly have a huge range of acts, artists and music scheduled. This year, with PJ Harvey, Ronnie Spector, Cyndi Lauper, MØ and ELO on the bill it's looking to be a goodie.
Coachella is calling. And it signals the start of the festival season. For those who won't be lucky enough to attend Coachella over the next two weekend, Summer may still feel so long away.
Forget about the grey skies, cold weather and rain. Drift off to the warmer desert plains of Coachella and get lost in our latest festival playlist. Selecting our top acts set to play at the festival this weekend, and next. From firm favourites like Grimes and Courtney Barnet, to those who you need to be checking out like Tei Shi and Christine and the Queens.
A joint exhibition in LA between two of it's biggest museums, is home to the biggest retrospective of renowned photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. From his iconic portraits of best friend Patti Smith, to Mapplethorpe's insightful self portraits to his radical journey through the underground sex scene of New York in the 80s.
Away from the controversies of the time and the political outrage at a gay artist's sexualised work, today, these exhibitions give us a chance to really view Mapplethorpe's ability as a photographer. The fine detail, the delicate yet stark lighting and the photographic composition.
With the circus of London Fashion Week swirling the streets of the capital, LFW always offers some sweet street style inspiration. Take a look over our top street style looks so far this week as journalists, bloggers, celebs and editors head between the AW16 shows taking place around the city.
As fashion week in New York draws to a close, it has been a week to show us all just how much the whole structure of the fashion show itself is changing. From interactive presentations and q&a's with models to Instagram collection debuts, the fashion shows as we know it is seriously evolving. But most importantly of all, fashion week is all about showcasing the upcoming trends for the next season.
New York Fashion Week is under way once again, previewing the trends for the AW16 season. We're just a few days in and it is already shaping up to be a season to remember. From Heidi Slimane for Saint Laurent's electrifying catwalk show featuring our
no.1 Brit babe Amba Baker, to Wang's edgy show full of sheer layers and bold buckled chokers. Autumn Winter 2016 is looking to be darker, broodier and punkier than ever.
Check out our highlights from NYFW so far, behind the scenes and on the runway. Ready for the rest of the action still to come.
Our model crush of the moment has to be British beaut Amba Baker. Having strut her stuff down the catwalk for Saint Laurent alongside Ruth Bell and Agnes Dean, Amba is going from strength to strength. Flitting between Milan, Paris and the UK, Amba is living the dream edgy model life. In the coolest style. We're looking forward to seeing her all over the scene this year, she's gonna be our Brit girl for sure.
Track Amba Baker throughout 2016 on her personal
Insta page.... and watch this space.
