Beauty for the mind, body and planet

Nature

Inspired by wild spaces and their fragrant botanicals, we have created healing scents of nature that capture and embody nature’s very essence.

Scent

Rich in botanical essential oils beneficial to respiratory health, our scents transport you to and immerse you in nature, acting as a focus for both your thoughts and your breathing.

Breath

The effects of conscious diaphragmatic breathing on our well-being are profound, empowering and well-established in scientific principles – switching off your stress response and harnessing your body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Simplicity

Scents of nature, in turn, provide a deeper connection to and engagement with the natural world, inspiring us to take action to protect and conserve it, empowered by the knowledge that in nurturing nature, we nurture ourselves.

The Golden Thread

"There were many things about the flood plains of the Okavango that reminded us of the flooded water meadows at home. In particular, it was the lush green landscape, long sedge grasses, an abundance of butterflies and the snow-white little egret that made us see why our birds might feel at home in both of these landscapes.

I chose to paint the beautiful mopane leaf as it is a tree that only grows on the African continent, and it is a favourite feast for elephants."

- Caryn Hibbert

Meet

Alice Van Cal

A visionary jewellery designer whose creations

transcend the boundaries of traditional adornment.

Alice’s design philosophy revolves around blending the classic with the contemporary. Alice seamlessly marries traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, resulting in pieces that are timeless yet fashionforward. Each piece is a testament to her meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the materials she works with. Her creations are more than accessories; they are symbols of a conscious, creative force making a positive mark on the world of design and craftsmanship.

How did you become a Jeweller?

It started out of passion. First, with beads and macrame, when I was younger, and from the age of 23, I started to create bespoke jewellery out of the special moments people wanted to celebrate and highlight in their lives. That’s how I became a jeweller, but it took the birth of my firstborn son, Joshua, to launch Alice van Cal. He brought me the confidence to go for it, and so we launched oureponymousbrandfiveyearsago.

AndhereishowIarrivedatthatmoment:

I have always been fascinated with jewellery throughout my childhood. I was born and raised in Brussels, where I graduated with a degree in marketing and communications and ended up interning at various public relations and luxury firms, most notably LVMH. From there, I was able tointernatPiaget,whichledmetobeintroduced to the brand manager at Baume & Mercier in London, which is where the foundations of Alice van Cal began to be built. I found my place as a protégée at Baume & Mercier for four and a half years, and it was the surroundings that inspired metobeginmyjewellerybrand.

In that time, I was lucky enough to share the same walls with the artisans of the Cartier workshop, which allowed me to gain exclusive insight into the craft of fine jewellery-making and, mostimportantly,ignitedthatsparkIhadtobring my designs to life. After Baume & Mercier, I spent a year and a half working for Christie's in 2015 and 2016, and my experiences taught me that I wanted to work independently and have a strong coremessageformybrand.Iendeduplaunching Alice van Cal when my firstborn was five months old; that’s how it started, and here we are now, fiveyearslater!

Your First-ever luxury purchase?

I would flick through magazines when I was younger and choose the most creative images, then I came across the campaign for the J'adore Dior tank top, and I wanted one; I must have been about 13, my stepfather kindly gave it to me as my Christmas gift, and I still wear it today. Years later, I realised Dior was a luxury brand.

Do you have a favourite piece of Jewellery?

I have many favourites, but the most impactful in my life has been my grandmother’s locket. I played with it for as long as I can remember, and this is what has instilled how meaningful, powerful and helpful a piece of jewellery can be to its wearer.

What is the greatest recognition of your career so far?

My children ask me questions about the growth of the brand and are encouraging meeverystepoftheway.

Do you think you will expand to another area of design?

Yes,andIambeyondexcitedaboutit;thisis a never-before-seen conceptual design that I literally can’t wait to share. It will launch at the end of 2024 or earlier if our workshops canscheduleit.

Do you do a mood board for each collection?

No, I have never used one. Once I know the meaning I want to instil into a design, the designcomestome.

Favourite stone and why?

The white natural diamond because it contains every single colour in it. Also, it is thestrongeststoneduetohowitisformed. To me, I believe it enhances the colours fromwithinitswearer.

Three things you would take with you on a desert island?

My rainbow journey bracelet is a talisman to keep focused on that challenge.

Sheer Bliss

The 'Emperor's New Clothes', or an avante garde take on sheer luxury? Why it's worth investing in the new season's see-through styles.

Miu Miu Holiday Campaign 2023

Since the gamine, androgynous actress and rising star, Emma Corrin, was cast in Miu Miu's 2023 Holiday Campaign, the sheer skirt and big knickers combo instantly gained 'cool girl' status.

Needless to say, many luxury power houses (including Givenchy, Erdem, Missoni and Ermanno Scervino) swiftly followed suit, featuring transparent skirts in their S/S 2024 shows, so it seems that the trend is gaining traction. Whilst you may imagine that only those of a daring disposition can pull off this look, it is actually far from risque and surprisingly wearable. When styled with masculine tailoring or a layered ladylike mentality, this trend is more fashion forward than flirtatious.

The key is subtlety and suggestion. The diaphanous slip adds a light-hearted, festive femininity to more modest wardrobe staples, such as oversized blazers, crisp cotton shirting and knitwear, layered up in accordance to how much you dare to bare. Styling with hosiery, bodysuits and kitten heels elevates the look to modern day evening glamour. Flash a pair of big knickers if you dare (embellished or otherwise) and team with a fine knit cardi for a more ladylike vintage feel.

Less blatant boudoir, the sheer skirt whispers suggestion - a hint of hosiery, a nod to knickers - as seductive as the glimpse of a Victorian ankle.

Using natural and regenerative materials in sustainable product creation Welligogs prioritise natural, regenerative materials and fabrics whenever possible and is continuously searching for innovative ways to produce stylish pieces in a more sustainable manner.

As the leaves fall and the winter chill sets in, it's time to dust off our winter wardrobes and plan those long walks in the beautiful countryside. However, for many of us, our closet makeovers now involve a different set of priorities. During this downtime, we've become acutely aware of the pressing need to make more environmentally conscious decisions in our day-to-day lives.

Enter Welligogs, a contemporary British fashion label with environmental awareness at its core. Embracing fashion-forward clothing and accessories, this family-run business is gaining a profile for doing exactly what the world needs – investing in quality, timeless, ethically crafted fashion.

“Being a small family company gives us agency over the big decisions, as well as the smaller ones. We regularly inspect how our garments are made, which is rare in itself, and we have a lot of control over the supply chain. We choose natural, regenerative materials and fabrics whenever we can, and we’re always looking for innovative ways to create products in a more sustainable way. Our high-quality materials are designed to last.”

The Birth of Welligogs: A Family's Move from Australia to England

Welligogs' story began when Kim and Ray made the decision to move their family from Australia to England in 2000. Kim, being British, always envisioned returning home to give her four children a British upbringing. Ray, who was born and raised in Australia, had reservations about leaving the sunny skies but agreed that it was worth exploring newopportunitiesoverseas.

The question was, what career path would they take? A comment from Ray about the dreary British weather inspired Kim. With plenty of rainfall, there was a need for wellington boots in the UK. Unimpressed with the classic green wellies, Kim sought out hand-painteddesignswithvibrantcolours.

After sourcing the boots and creating the designs, the brand was born. Kim named the brand Welligogs,anostalgicnodtothewellingtonbootsofherchildhood.

MILLIONAIR affirms that Welligogs excels in creating sustainable fashion and accessories. If you're searching for high-quality clothing that's both durable and stylish, this brand is definitely worth checking out. Welligogs offers a wide range of timeless staples, including classic tweeds, modern jackets, and practical, luxury waxed cotton outerwear. Their fully waterproof and windproof coats, featuring sealed seams, are perfect for any weather condition. Additionally, Welligogs offers waterproof, breathable leather boots to complete your look.

KAYLL is a fusion of designer Jessica Kayll's love of travel with her hand-painted textile design. Finding resortwear which was modest, timeless and beautifully made was difficult for Jessica to find, and so KAYLL was created.

Carefully working with a tailor for months to create the most flattering silhouettes for every woman’s shape, Jessica designed and launched a collection of 12 silk robes and coverups inspired by the shape of Japanese kimonos, with every detail carefully considered and perfected. Demand for KAYLL's intricate prints has seen the brand expand into sustainably made swimwear and ready-to-wear in 2023.

“We are committed to slow- fashion and ethical, sustainable production’’

With a degree in Fashion Textile Design from the University of Brighton, British designer Jessica Kayll worked in London and Paris for brands including Alexander McQueen, Erdem and John Galliano as a textile designer, specialising in handpainted prints

All of KAYLL’s prints are painted by Jessica, in her London studio, taking months of painting and design development before being finalised. Initially starting as pencil drawings, Jessica then hand-paints KAYLL’s prints using acrylic paint before scanning her artworks and creating the final placement on each garment. Next, we digitally print onto 100% silk using a UK print company using only azo-free dyes, we make all of our garments in the UK, at a highly skilled specialist London atelier.

You attract with your eyes

From glamorous to grungy, Smokey Eyes is a winter classic that will always make a statement. With the advent of Hollywood Glamour, Marlene Dietrich was said to have burnt a candle underneath a saucer and then mixed the soot with vaseline to create her iconic sultry smokey eye (making her eyes stand out on screen). Today, there are many iterations of a smokey eye, and there are no hard rules... It is more of a technique than a specific colour!

Starting with clean, dry skin, begin by priming your eyelids to keep your eyeshadow crease-free and in place all day (and night) long. Whether you opt for one shade smoked out at the edges or multiple shades and textures to build up depth, the key is to blend, blend, BLEND!

Using a fluffy eyeshadow brush, gently sweep your mid-tone colour across the lid to create a base, and gradually build up the layers with the darker shades. Keep the darkest point at the lash line for sultry definition. Create a precise and smudge-proof line along your upper lash line, with a kajal pencil adding more intensity to the look. Layering dark-toned eyeshadowsoverthelinerbeforesmokingout.

If you’re looking for a way to take your look from day to night, consider adding a metallic or glitter eyeshadow to the centre of the lid or a pop of colour along the lower lash line to really make the eyes pop. Lastly, don't forget to finish off your smokey eye look with severalcoatsofmascara.

Ruby Recommends, “Always do your eyes before your base; this avoids having to clean up and reapply if there is any fall out from your eye colour”.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion – Lock your look in place with the original eyeshadow primer.

Lisa Eldridge Seamless Glide Eye Pencil in Black Treacle – Glide along the lash line and smudge into lashes for lived-in definition.

Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Liner in Smoky Quartz / Night Flash – Ultra-creamy, once this eyeliner sets it will stay put until you remove it

Ruby Hammer Mascara & Brow Duo – Lengthen and define your lashes with nourishing ingredients to keep them looking and feeling their best.

Vieve The Ninetease Palette – 90s supermodel glamour summed up in one eyeshadow palette.

Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Palette – With three finishes and 12 shades this multi-finish palette contains everything you need for ethereal, smokey eyes

Dior Diorshow Mascara – Build up the drama, from natural to the most spectacular volumized lashes.

SIGNATURE SCENTING

The purest sensory indulgence

Nancy Meiland is an English perfumer and trained nose who shaped her career by designing signature scents for those coveting something highly individual and special. Nancy Meiland Parfums features a collection of fragrances formulated through the sourcing and blending of exceptional raw materials from around the world. The collection comprises four exquisitely contemporary and unique scents, each as wearable by men as by women. Each of the four fragrances has also been developed to feature within a complementary range of candles with an individually designed ceramic jar.

Was perfume ever in your family’s history? What made you start your own brand?

We think that someone ancestrally in the family had their hand in Perfumery; an 1891 edition of Piesse’s Art of Perfumery was uncovered in my Grandmother’s attic – inside is a handwritten list of raw materials, quoted for with quantities and strengths. The list includes Oudh, Fig extract, Turkish Rose, Teak, Champaca, Mousse de Chene (Oakmoss) and intriguing notes called Fancy Bouquet and Spiritual Burnings. It’s still a mystery as to who this belonged to!

What are the scents and perfumes that marked your childhood and your teens?

My Mum wore Byblos with its mimosa, lily and iris, so this scent and her skin in the sunshine have left a lasting impression. I didn’t swerve the teenage scents of White Musk from the Body Shop and Charlie perfume, probably worn all at once with an added fog of Impulse body spray!

The perfume industry is currently oversaturated with new brands. With thousands of new lines and launches every year, it can be difficult to explain how any brand achieves success. So, how did your brand manage to stand out in this challenging market?

Staying true to our roots as an independent perfume house and a steady stream of new product launches as well as complimentary products. It helps to have a storytelling element with strong creative input that develops part of our brand story and remains a key part of what our customers and followers enjoy about the brand.

What moves you in a perfume, and which of your fragrances do you like to wear?

I love the mercurial nature of perfume and how it adapts from skin:skin. Using a high level of naturals helps achieve this unique expression of perfume from wearer to wearer – I also love a slope of notes in the dry-down. I reach for different perfumes in my collection seasonally and depending on my mood –AQUILARIA means a lot to me as it was in my headspace for many years to create a journey into Oud and the tree of its origin.

Can you describe the creative process behind a perfume?

Nature is my muse. It can be a particular light or the moment a dew drop falls off a leaf that forms the inspiration for a perfume. I think feeling connected to nature through perfumeisbalancing,inspiringandemboldening.Connectingthecolours,textures,light, and humidity within a wild landscape and translating those into perfume using natural feelsalchemicalcreatesakindofhighaltartonaturethroughscent.

We loved that you collaborated with Amly Botanicals; we are all about supporting each other; is that something you will do more of?

Definitely,female-ledandfoundedbusinessesareatthecoreofwhatweliketosupport atNMP.

Do you use only natural raw materials?

When making my roll-on perfume attars - I like to stay with sustainable, natural raw materials as they work subtly with the energy centres of the body. Some synthetics in perfumecanbringmagicandlifetoaformula,soIwouldn’tshyawayfromusingthemif it’s the key to an amazing perfume concept. At the same time, there’s a lot of soul in the naturalrawmaterialsandsoImostlytendtodrawfromthese.

Rewriting the rules of natural skincare

HUNTER LAB calls on a combination of natural ingredients and green science to formulate a slew of products that feature essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Bottled in clean packaging, they’re way too easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Hunter Lab is rewriting the rules for natural skincare.

Since 2015, Hunter Lab has redefined genderinclusive skincare formulated in sync with the natural world to improve the daily skin health ritual. Synthetic and chemical ingredients can cause skin sensitivities, or worse, so Hunter Lab’s skincare suite is formulated naturally and transparently, crafted for the discerning individual who strives for balance, efficacy, and the highest-quality natural ingredient profile – the Modern Hunter

Naturehasinspiredskincareremediesforcenturies,andHunterLab has elevated this process with curated formulas featuring innovative natural peptides, oils, antioxidants and exfoliants while maintaining the purity and integrity of every ingredient. Opting for a natural skincare routine has often meant foregoing chemical actives and high-tech formulas, but advancements in technology have set the stageforHunterLab’ssignature–Next-GenNaturalSkincare Intentional, natural skincare should work in sync with our skin rather than against it, and rewrites how we care for such an importantanddynamicorgan

Our skin functions optimally when nourished and supported by biocompatible products with natural ingredients and minimal synthetics and preservatives, and individuals are increasingly conscious of the full-body response to topical products – the ingredient list matters. More than just natural ingredient blends, Next-Gen Natural Skincare is age and gender-inclusive, combining design innovation andhigh-performancenaturalextractsforhealthy,balancedskin

DESIGNED FOR YOU

Switching to natural skincare benefits all skin types – reducing irritation for easily inflamed and sensitive skin, gently assisting acneic or congested skin, balancing and rehydrating dry skin –holisticwellbeingmustextendtoourskindaily

Every individual has unique skincare requirements thanks to our skin’smicrobiome–theecosystemofmicroorganismsonthesurface of our skin. Next-gen natural skincare allows this microbiome to stay balanced, where high-chemical formulas can wipe out the innateworkyourbodyisdoingtoprotectandpreserveitself

TRANSPARENCY

We provide clarity around not only what is in each formula, but what is deliberately left out. Waterless formulations (such as Lipid Vitamin Face Oil and Lip Ammo) are 100% naturally derived and do not require a preservative system, as they are safe and stable to usetopicallywithoutpreservatives

Natural transparency is at the core of the Hunter Lab ethos, and we share the exact percentage of natural ingredients within each product across the range. At the correct percentages, natural extracts and compounds can communicate and interact with the skin’s microbiome to boost skin health and resilience over time, and we encourage our customers to discover all product percentages listedonrelativeproductpages

TECHNOLOGY

As green chemistry advances, we look forward to when all synthetic ingredients can be replaced with bio-compatible, natural alternatives. In formulations (including waterbased) where a synthetic preservative is required to ensure safety throughout the product’s lifespan, Hunter Lab utilises a small number of synthetic preservatives. Despite their synthetic origin, these preservatives are non-toxic (not linked to toxic responses in humans) and an extension of our dedication to the very best of ingredients, both natural and non-natural. Our commitment to safety remains paramount through every step of our innovationprocess.

Opting for natural transparency in resultsdriven formulas encourages ongoing innovation and exploration at Hunter Lab and, importantly, empowers our customers to make informed choices for their skincare ritual and lifestyle.

Oral luxury

Experience the ultimate in everyday hygiene with a contemporary mouth care brand which blends luxury with natural ingredients.

Selahatin

Selahatin is introducing the future of oral luxury. With a series of whitening toothpastes, mouthwashes and oral sprays, the brand has the ambition toelevatetheemotionalexperiencesofeverydayceremonies.

The brand was born from a crisis. Before the age of 30, founder Kristoffer Vural had a stroke that left him paralysed and hospitalized for a year. The stroke made his senses more responsive to scent and taste. It also highlighted the importance of everydayrituals.

‘’I started to see things differently. I realized that the small things in life had a profound effect on my well-being. If I had a bad day, brushing my teeth would make it worse. I was desperate for products that I could emotionally connect with – products that could provide a sense of escapism,’’ saysfounderKristofferVural.

The brand has been nominated in Wallpaper Design Awards, named “one of the best grooming brands in the world” by GQ, called “the world’s most sophisticated toothpaste brand” by Monocle Magazine and is being used by iconic designer Rick Owens. Founder Kristoffer Vural has been named one of the most innovative entrepreneursintheworldbyMonocleMagazine.

“Selahatin is more than just a brand; it’s a gentle reminder to slow down and enhance your everyday rituals.”

Distinguishing Factors of Selahatin: SustainabilityandArtisanalApproach

Selahatin stands out not only for its artisanal approach but also for its commitment to sustainability. Their products are packaged with eco-friendly materials, and responsibly sourced ingredients are used to enhance oral health while minimizing environmental impact.

Selahatin represents a way of life that encourages mindfulness, self-care, and environmental consciousness. It serves as a gentle reminder to slow down, appreciate the present moment and elevate the everyday rituals.

What does ‘wellness’ mean? And to whom?

This is a question that inspired the beginning of HUX. Our founders, Damien, Fadi & Alistair found that even though they wanted to invest in their health, finding the right supplements —which, when, for how long and so on – was confusing and stressful. They were constantly disappointed by a category that is bland, boring and inaccessible.

A Health Company

Our mission at HUX is to create a health company that inspires people to find their daily edge by making complex nutrition simple. We want to reclaim ‘wellness,’ so it’s about feeling good on your own terms. It’s not new news that good health is about balance and stability, but it bears repeating. You don’t need to be an elite athlete or commit to extreme diets to enjoy your body and life, or to feel energetic, enthusiastic, happy and healthy. Health doesn’t have to be boring. It certainly shouldn’t be restrictive. Health should be beautiful, even aspirational.

"HUX is your insurance policy, your booster shot, the extra hour of focus or the gift of sleep after another long day—your secret weapon. Your daily edge."

Your Daily Edge

Life is the ebb and flow of good days and bad days. Sometimes you’re winning: up with the larks, doing a spot of dawn HIIT and getting a few emails boxed off before the morning oficially begins... and other days are one hundred percent less smug as you sleep through alarms, lock yourself out of the house in your pyjamas and clock up a step count of sub 300 before soothing yourself with a huge glass of wine as the clock strikes 6pm.

Romance and realism

The Landscape Paintings of Garry Pereira

Garry Pereira is a British Isles landscape painter whose work has captured the attention of collectors worldwide. His art is characterised by its romantic quality and realism.

Garry Pereira (born 1974, painting for 25 years) is dedicated to the land and sea of the British Isles, capturing the spirit of remote places from East Anglian flatlands to the Highlands of Scotland. He makes his own paints, each painting is made by ‘layering thin washes of oil and glaze techniques’ ( his words) He has exhibited around the world, including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada and many cities in the US. Garry Pereira, studied at Norwich School of Art, made the ancient cathedral city his home. For his last show at The Osborne Studio Gallery (www.osg.uk.com) show he was inspired by dunes of the Norfolk coast, flower meadows of Norfolk and Suffolk, the wild seas of the East Anglian coast.

The dunes are in Holkham and North Norfolk, bluebell meadows in Norfolk and Southwold in Suffolk. Most of the time he works in the open air, or in small boats at sea, picking up pieces of slate or ‘found’ materials to use for small landscapes. Now he is making sketches to work up into large canvases in the studio.

Thames, Tyne, Portland, Humber, Forth, Dover are nostalgic names from the Shipping Forecast, one of the most famous broadcasts in the history of radio. Garry Pereira calls his seascapes ‘Found Poetry’ a reference to the rhythmic quality of that familiar lineup. His wild seas are often painted on fishing boats and trawlers much to the surprise and admiration of the fishermen he accompanies.

Garry Pereira says: ‘ this theme informs much of my work in the show. I have had a fascination with the Shipping Forecast since childhood, the words soothing and the romance of being in the middle of the ocean still excites, soothes and inspires me today.’

Tales by the fireside

Paul Smith adds new winter scent Storyteller to home fragrance line up

Paul Smith expands its growing home fragrance collection with a new wintery scent, Storyteller that recalls cosy nights in, open fires and Paul’s winter trips.

Like the wider Paul Smith home fragrance collection – which launched in 2022 – Storyteller is based on Paul’s fond memories, in this case his inspiration trips to the Nottinghamshire countryside. With notes of Madagascan clove bud, intense woods, and patchouli the scent is smoky, woody, and warming to evoke wintertime evenings by the fireside. The name, which follows the rest in the collection by being named for character traits, is also a nod to Paul’s personality and love of storytelling.

Storyteller has been created by IFF perfumer Meabh McCurtin. They say:

“Storyteller captures the warm feeling of sitting in front of a crackling log fire in winter. The nostalgic smell and the roaring glow of the fireplace are comforting and cosy, perfect after a day of walking. I sit in my leather armchair, fireside, next to which is a basket of freshly cut wood with the special scent of moss and lichen and immerse myself in my favourite novel. In Storyteller, I combined the unique ingredients of Vetiver oil from Java, with a distinct smoky quality, together with intense woods for earthiness and patchouli oil.”

The specially selected ingredients for Storyteller also include fine natural oils sourced from LMR Natural (Laboratoire Monique Remy), one of the world’s most renowned purveyors of raw materials with a long history of supplying the very best perfumers in the world.

Each vessel is purposely designed to be reused (as a vase in the case of the diffuser or a jar in the case of the candles) and comes with a lid which doubles as a coaster to protect surfaces from heat and spills. The interaction between light and colour was key when designing the striking vessels which, when lit, will subtly recall Paul Smith’s Signature Stripe. Even the box, with its unique “zippered” design, has been carefully considered and is a wink to Paul’s tailoring expertise.

The home fragrance collection sits alongside and is designed to complement the broader Paul Smith Homeware collection, which celebrates the timelessness of the stripe and encompasses blankets, cushions, and towels.

Available as a single-wick 240g candle, triple-wick 1kg candle,) or a 250ml reed diffuser, Storyteller is housed in a two-tone vessel in a warm earthy tone (with contrasting cobalt blue lid) that recalls the rustic palette of the British countryside.
