EVERYTHING A FASHION EXPERT IS LOVING THIS MONTH

By Alice Dunlop, 6 May 2024

It's that time of the month when we put what's HOT on your radar. We have so many exciting things to talk about this spring, so stay tuned for information on our new favourite florist, Elizabeth Jaime of Calma Floral, an upcoming exhibition from world-renowned photographer Rankin, and how could we not mention the movie of the year (again) ft. the most-iconic fashion girlie who is partly responsible for the tenniscore trend we're loving right now. Enjoy!

CREATIVE SPOTLIGHT

Elizabeth Jaime, Florist

Magazine editor-turned-florist Elizabeth Jaime is the founder of Calma Floral. Turning her editorially-trained eye for detail to elaborate floral displays, Elizabeth has perfected the creation of unique bouquets and arrangements for big brands like Nike and Dior (her wedding florals are elite too, FYI). Now, she has revealed the secrets behind her craft in her new book Flowering, which is available for preorder. Our flower arranging game is going to be on 100 this summer.

Billy King, Filmmaker

Filmmaker, producer and writer, Billy King, is making waves in the industry and it's pretty easy to see why. He's worked with artists like AntsLive (shoutout to our Unreal Finds campaign star) and Yungblud, as well as brands like Tommy Jeans. His ability to convey the attitude of the artist and produce cinematic visuals is just unmatched – mark our words, Billy is one to watch!

Isla Loba, Content Creator

Isla Loba, you will always be famous. The content creator and podcast host had us hooked from the moment we saw her now-viral storytime TikToks and eclectic style. From appropriate brand partnerships with LimeBike (her absolute favourite mode of transport) to her authentic vlogs, the South London native has created the perfect balance of relatable and It girl.

WATCH

Director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Bones and All) is back with another emotionally-charged smash hit: Challengers. The film follows former tennis prodigy Tashi (Zendaya) as she tries to overcome a career-changing injury, only to find herself in a tricky coaching situationship... Loewe's Creative Director Jonathan Anderson is behind the costume design, and Zendaya has been serving 10/10 looks throughout the press run, so you know we were seated for this one.

Challengers landed in cinemas on 26th April.
