Black felt cloche hat from a selection at Herbert Johnson. Black Courtelle blazer, long and lean with slightly padded shoulders, low wide lapels and plain white buttons, by Tony Berkeley, 10gns.

Autumn clothes are now beginning to filter into the shops, and we must admit that this year’s crop is better than ever. The best of last season’s shapes remain with us—long, lean, fitted coats and jackets, midi length skirts and Oxford bags with turn-ups. The new lines are more startling, and heavily influenced by the ‘Forties. Shoulders are squared off, coats have Joan Crawford swagger backs or are shaped in at the waist with a single-button fastening. All hems cover the knee, and to be seen in a mini is almost sacrilegious now. Gaucho pants and knickerbockers are the new look for legs, and blouses with soft revers and yokes are back in vogue, worn with soft collars outside. Colours are black, brown, rust and cream, or a mixture of the four in plaids and jacquards. Shoes are becoming much finer with the exception of brogues and shoes with ankle straps. Large, soft leather shoulder bags are the perfect shape to complete the picture.

One of the perennial absurdities of the rag trade is that at the peak of the holiday season they start to pack the shops with winter merchandise. However, Harvey Nichols 21 Shop is selling the beachwear by Baltrik shown here for people taking their holidays now.

So lovely and rare to see a swimwear shoot by a woman photographer. The difference is subtle but I feel like there’s more candid and sensitive approach. Perhaps it’s just because Eva Sereny is one of my favourite photographers.
When Gil, of Max Factor, one of the most famous make-up experts in the world, decided to revolutionize the make-up of the seventies, top Italian photographer Gianni Turillazzi was called in to record the results on film. The idea, we understand, is that ‘make-up which previously was considered showy and heavy, will now even be able to be used by girls in convents, for the true make-up (which Gil is launching for the following ten years) does not only involve the eyes, but the whole face and sometimes even more. Colour, lots and lots of colour on women’s faces, to emphasize perfect features. or soften not-so-perfect ones, but above all to create a complete harmony between make-up, hair-style and dress.’ We hope that when they run this up the flag pole everyone salutes. Meanwhile, Gil has provided Turillazzi with a very pretty picture.
Here is how to bring your face right out of its winter doldrums.
This is the time of the year when you’re caught in a sort of non-season. Not quite winter, not quite spring – and you’re not quite sure what to do with yourself.
So it’s a good chance for experimenting with the newest combinations of the latest brightest shades. But subtly: phasing your face out of winter into the sunshine colours of spring.
Colours to look for are clear greens, lemon yellow, pure blues, reds, marigolds and warm pinks. Textures are creamy: in face-shapers, eyeshadows and lipsticks. Foundation stays palish, and eyebrows tweezered thin. Lips are bow-shaped, outlined with Biba’s lip pencils. And eyes are wider than ever, with lots of clear colour and still no eyeliner unless it tones in with your eyeshadow.
Model is Vivienne Lynn.
