ON REPEAT...
What we wear says so much about who we are and who we want to be. This topic is explored in the new podcast An Excellent Fit, in which co-hosts Kay Barron and Alice Casely-Hayford interview guests about their lives through the lens of the clothes they’ve worn. Fashion podcasts are so hard to get right, but they’ve nailed it. If you’re interested in style and stories, I 100% recommend.
New episodes every Tuesday, Apple podcasts and Spotify.
ON REPEAT...
Did you see that clip of Björk DJing the Venice Biennale in a fiberglass Bottega Veneta dress and an enormous alien-empress hat by CSM graduate and Dior couture junior designer Myah Hasbany? The internet understandably focused on the look, but my ears immediately zoomed in on the soundtrack: she played “On Ur Time” by Natanya and was fully singing along. Casual.
I’ve had the song on an honestly concerning loop ever since. Natanya makes the kind of music engineered specifically for walking around at night pretending you’re in a music video. She’s already been co-signed by SZA, Tyler, The Creator, and Doechii, opened for PinkPantheress, and somehow still feels like a secret you’re meant to gatekeep (whoops). Her newer track “DON’T ASK!” is another immediate brainworm currently eating through my frontal lobe.
THE SCENE...
To date, I have visited the terrific Francisco de Zurbarán
exhibition at the National Gallery five times (obsessive, me?!). Strange, mystical, ambiguous, precise, provocative, tender; the 17th-century Spanish master’s work invites repeat viewings and endless conversation. Please just go so I have someone else to talk to about it.
The National Gallery, London until 23rd August.
THE SCENE...
Hausu in Peckham is the kind of place where dinner quietly turns into 5 more drinks and suddenly it’s midnight. Right by Peckham Rye station, it’s one of those rare spots that makes you want to cancel whatever plans you had after.
Downstairs, there’s smoky Asian-influenced small plates and the sort of low lighting that makes everyone look hotter. Upstairs is the real trap: a velvet-draped listening bar pouring dangerously good cocktails while jazz and post-punk crackle through the speakers (the music is seriously good). Two salted tomato martinis in, the whole place starts to feel like a lost David Lynch location scout. Lit.
GATEKEEPING...
You catch me at an unusually blissed out moment having just returned from the Maldives (I know…). Obviously the destination does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to relaxation, but the ŪRJĀ wellness centre at The Four Seasons Maldives at Kuda Huraa – recently revamped with a naturopathy focus, elevating it above the usual luxury spa fare – really amplified it.
On a private islet, reachable by dhoni boat, treatments are tailored to your specific needs (see also the excellent ayurvedic therapies
at the ridiculously gorgeous AyurMa spa on sister resort, Landaa Giraavaru). I underwent biomarker diagnostics, postural and metabolic evaluations, pulse readings, iris diagnosis, and more. Have returned rejuvenated with a thorough mind-body MOT, and tangible advice that will last way longer than my tan.
GATEKEEPING...
The Wallace Collection might be my favourite place in London. Hidden behind Oxford Circus in a mansion stuffed to the brim with rococo paintings, armour, and impossibly ornate furniture, it feels totally detached from the rest of the city. Vivienne Westwood loved it too—once calling it “the greatest art school in this country,” and you can feel its influence all over her work: corsets, decadence, aristocratic chaos, the general refusal to be understated.
I love museums that still feel intimate and slightly eccentric rather than engineered for TikTok. You can drift through rooms full of Fragonard and gold filigree for hours, then end up in the courtyard café feeling like a disgraced noble avoiding all administrative duties. Love.
DOOMSCROLL GOLD...
I love football (play up Pompey!) and with the World Cup in full swing, my Instagram discover page is now entirely awash with the beautiful game (with a heavy skew on Spain forward Ferran Torres, which I am very, very happy about. Trust me, just look).
If you don’t know your xG from your offside, or think you might be immune to tournament fever, I suggest going on a deep dive on players’ off pitch style (the French, IMHO, are the team to beat here) which has gone full-throttle fashion in recent years. The @footballerfits account documents this better than anyone.
MOOD BOARD MUSE...
The irony about Frida Kahlo is that we have made her invisible through ubiquity. Given the amount of merch she’s been plastered on since her death in 1954, she can be a bit like cultural background noise (see also Marilyn Monroe: subject of a current National Portrait Gallery exhibition).
However, after a trip to Mexico City earlier this year – and the blockbuster Tate Modern exhibition now on – I’ve been thinking about her afresh. Her vibrant wardrobe wasn’t just beautiful, it was a compelling tool of self-expression and political statement.
Tate Modern, London until 3rd January, 2027
