Erdem took inspiration for its catwalk look from Virginia WoolfVirginia Woolf: Art, Life and Vision opens at the National Portrait Gallery (npg.org.uk) this Thursday, and it seems it’s Virginia’s season as she also played muse to hairstylist Anthony Turner at Erdem’s most recent show.
Take a leaf out of Turner’s book and let centre-parted hair swoop over your ears, ending in a low knot. Then whisk a Mason Pearson Nylon Universal Gentle NG2 brush (£47.25, escentual.com) around the front to add whimsical flyaways.
As members of the gluten-free cohort, Miranda Kerr (right) and Rachel Weisz know it’s a big health and beauty issue. Following suit, Cover FX has taken the gluten out of its cosmetics (who knew!), and created a pore-minimising BB Gel for those who want to lessen the risk of sensitivity. £35, harveynichols.com.
Bookmark new beauty website Look Peachy for an edit of under-the-radar products, such as AromaWorks Serenity Bath Oil, £29.73, lookpeachy.co.uk.
