For the first three month of the year, the Comédie-Française hosted a weekly sale featuring a curated selection of costumes meticulously crafted in its own workshops. From embroidered dresses, shirts, overcoats, and uniforms, each piece carries within them the history of the theatre and the memory of the Repertoire. It's the same sale it ran last year to great success, selling nearly 400 costumes. So if you remember John Cena appearing nearly naked to present the Academy Award for Best Costume this month, then you might remember what he said: “Costumes – they are so important,” the actor said....

When you think of 74-year-old British gardener and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh, who helms the wholesome ITV gardening show Love Your Garden, censorship is probably not the first word that springs to mind. Still, that hasn’t deterred North Korea’s state television Central TV, which has censored a 2010 episode of the BBC gardening programme Alan Titchmarsh's Garden Secrets (which does sound a bit filthy, come to think of it). The reason? His jeans. They blurred out presenter Titchmarsh's trousers, as jeans are seen as a symbol of western imperialism in the secretive state - and are therefore ban...

The controversy has led to the creation of a "Save St. George's Cross in English football" petition on Change.org (which at the time of writing has 46 391 signatures) and even prompted bi-partisan unity (gasp!), as the Conversative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Kier Starmer have both shared their displeasure at the new stylistic change. So, what’s behind the hubbub exactly? For the rollout in the run-up to the UEFA Euro in Germany (14 June – 14 July), Nike dared to change the ...

Awards season is now finally over, and thank the stars, because I’m getting tired of typing the name ‘Oppenheimer’ over and over again. As a cheeky awards post-mortem, it’s worth highlighting that awards recompensing artistic achievement aside, there are always fashion lessons to be learned from the seemingly never-ending November to March ceremony stretch – from the Gotham Awards all the way to the Oscars. What sartorial takeaways are there this year? Well, classic vintage was in; red was definitely not dead; flared trousers made something of a comeback - and great, because the whole short tr...
