Hawes & Curtis British Summer Collection

Thursday last week, I was invited to the launch of Hawes & Curtis' Old Broad Street store to view their new British Summer collection. In the heart of the city, this British shirt maker is well placed, surrounded by the suited and booted office workers of London's business district.

But one shouldn't immediately envision a monotomy of black and grey suits parading on grey pavements. The British Summer collection from Hawes & Curtis is anything but bland, living up to its name with a rainbow selection of formal shirts and silk ties. And for weekend-wear, the collection also includes more casual attire, incorporating Oxford shirts, polo shirts, even patterned swimshorts.

Tazz Gault, The Royal Exchange

I often wonder why Tazz isn't a style blogger too. Whenever we go out, whether for a fashion event, the theatre, or after-work drinks, she's a consistently better dresser. This photo was taken on the front steps of the Royal Exchange, shortly after attending the Hawes & Curtis store launch on Old Broad Street. Tazz is wearing Dune shoes, a Topshop skirt and leather jacket, and a Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag.

Paris' youngest style critic

This is my all-time favourite street style photo. Anya Ziourova, Stylist and Fashion Director at Tatler Russia, is dressed in billowing Chloé for the label's Paris catwalk, however our young spectator doesn't look all too impressed!
