Women Who Launch: Jen Fuller from Etta Loves
17th October 2024
For Jen Fuller, founder of the award-winning baby sensory company Etta Loves, that little spark of inspiration came from her daughter, Etta. Back in 2016, Jen was working in the corporate world, forging ahead with a career in marketing. It was whilst 6-week-old Etta was feeding that Jen noticed her daughter had become spellbound by the black and white pattern of the jumper she was wearing. “[I realised] there was nothing that combined baby essentials and sensory support, nor was there anything that employed the science of sight into the design of baby items,” she explains. “I’d seen first-hand with my daughter Etta how valuable visual stimulation could be to support both her development and help make moments across my day as a new mum that bit easier. So I took a leap and invented sensory muslins and launched the business 6 months later.”

An evening at Blade Hair club, SoHo
27th October 2017
Ever since I was young I have hated visiting the hairdressers, due to that awkward small talk that makes my toes curl, and the anticipation of seeing the finished result. To combat this feeling Blade Hair Club has put an iPad in front of every chair, so you can distract yourself and search the web, or catch up on that latest Netflix show, to your heart's content. One of the many things that made this Hair Club (not dressers) stand out was the cocktail menu I was shown on the iPad when I sat down to discuss my chosen style. After making my choice and heading downstairs I was met by the mixologist who was in the process of creating a new cocktail which I had the opportunity to try and then joined in the debate as to which garnish I preferred. After my treatment, I then sat at the bar and finished my drink and had a chat with the team and again, avoided the small talk that we all hate so much.
When luxury meets innovation: meet the season hats founders
28th October 2016
Designed by award-winning milliner, Paul Safford, and made by hand using the highest quality materials, London-based luxury headwear company, The Season Hats, offers casual hats, hairbands, headpieces and - their signature - folding hats for special occasions. They aim to create headwear that is simultaneously luxurious and contemporary, directional and flattering to compliment the modern woman’s wardrobe. Providing a business mind to match his creative one is Paul’s wife Selina. Having met at Cambridge University over 10 years ago, the couple married in 2013. During their university years, Paul would create small pieces for his beau to wear to balls, training in millinery “as an escape from a career in accountancy.” Unable to fight his creative passion any longer, yet wanting to combine his creativity with his the scientific logic garnered from his Natural Sciences degree, Paul left work to do a short course at the London College of Fashion. “I loved working with the materials, the tradition and innovation of the craft and it all developed from there”, Paul says. “I ended up apprenticing with Rachel Trevor Morgan (milliner to HM The Queen) and taking a Masters in Millinery graduate degree from The Royal College of Art.”

12th October 2016
The former member of worldwide-hit boyband One Direction will design a collection for the Versus brand, and will be the face of Versus in upcoming advertising campaigns. The collaboration may not come as a surprise to some, as ZAYN has always harboured a love for fashion, wearing a futuristic Versace robotlike arm sheath to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute ball in May and creating a 23-piece streetwear line under his own name earlier this year. The 23-year-old R&B singer has become a known face in the fashion world through his relationship with supermodel of the moment and IT girl, Gigi Hadid, who is close friends with the brand's matriarch, Donatella Versace, who said at London Fashion Week that "“Versus is the rock and roll soul of the Versace family and has always been associated with music." ZAYN will design a capsule collection of men’s and women’s clothing in close collaboration with Donatella Versace for Versus under the ZAYN X VERSUS label. The collection will debut in Versus stores worldwide and on the website in May 2017.
