AS SPRING UNLOCKS

JUMPSUIT £473.00 ELISABETTA FRANCHI

I'm sure we can all agree that spring is simply a gorgeous season. For us, the bloom of colour inspires us to be even more so creative.

The fashion industry kicked back into gear for us in February - and we were ready to take on the spring-summer season of 2023 by the time March rolls around.

Mt team and I decided it was high time that we turn to our wardrobes to figure out what would be the kick starter of our arrival into the spring season - and I'm so glad we did! We found that most of our clothing had become over-autumnal and did not have enough splash of colour to mirror the change of seasons, and that needed to be refreshed. The Swanky Magazine editorial team have banded together to create our breaking boundaries favourites that can suit any fashionista's wardrobe, yes this even includes the desperate inneeded ones! Turn to page 20 for the latest.

GIVENCHY EARRINGS VINTAGE 1980S £275

EDITOR'S CHOICE

18KT GOLD BAUME & MERCIER HAMPTON MILLEIS WITH DIAMONDS WRIST WATCH £4,025.18

You might have started a new gym routine as a part of your New Year's resolutions, but perhaps your clothing and accessories don't feel like your brand new self anymore - to gather some inspiration for your workouts head over to page 44.

JACKET IN STRETCH DOUBLE LAYER CRÊPE £473.00

Next month Swanky Fashion Magazine editorial team looks forward to bringing you your best glam with our Accessories Issue, to really get you feeling kitted out. Find out more on the opposite page (6).

Until next time!

LOEWE

RICHARD QUINN

Living out your costume-drama dreams has never been so easy, thanks to the return of 16th-century farthingales, 17thcentury panniers, and 19th-century crinolines. You read that right: at Dior, Christopher Kane, Richard Quinn, and Rochas, underskirts of varying shapes and states of historical accuracy ensured dresses flared out at courtly angles. The drama continued at Roksanda and Victoria Beckham, with ruffles and bustles at the waist affording a little more room for lunch.

Bon appetit.
