HELLO! Fashion Monthly

The final flourish – accessories have the power to elevate or unravel an outfit. It’s the magic touch, the defining detail, the punctuation mark at the end of a sartorial statement. I shouldn’t play favourites, but as a self-confessed magpie, I have to admit: this issue, dedicated to watches, jewellery and accessories, has been an absolute pleasure to put together. We dive into the SS25 runway trends that are shaping this season’s must-have accessories, from statement belts to the boldest finishing touches. We also sit down with jewellery designer of the moment, Anna Jewsbury of Completedworks, to explore her artistry and creative vision. And for those who admire heirlooms with history, we uncover the personal treasures of the style set, speaking with luminaries like Harris Reed, Amy Jackson, and more,…

We’re all guilty of seeing a stunningly beautiful woman and bracing ourselves for an unsavoury personality. Sometimes, we secretly hope for it, because nobody could be that otherworldly. Yet, Dariam Coco is – she’s as cordial as she is captivating. I’m curled up in an original 1960s Herman Miller lounge chair, waiting for the Spanish actress to break for lunch on the set of the H! Fashion cover shoot. We’re shooting in quite possibly the most beautiful house in London’s Hackney, framed by parquet floors, tiger-print sofas and House of Hackney textiles.

Pearldotted ceramics meet with fluidly-crafted golden treasures to create a whimsical, deeply romantic archive, which has captured the gaze of the fashion audience since the brand’s 2013 inception. “No one needs to wear jewellery in the same way that you do clothes,” says the designer. “When designing, I’m always thinking of someone who wants to express something through their choice of jewellery.
