LARA IRL BY BEN MORRIS, VANESSA COYLE AND GRACE O’NEILL

In the below images Lara wears a combination of clothes owned and loaned, in a photographic series intended to be from a different lens. It may not be as perfect as previous shoots, but it’s something more raw and—like the evolution of Lara’s style—something that’s different. The resulting images sit more like a montage of moments that we’ve been let in on. It’s collaboration in its purest form: a visual conversation between photographer, stylist and subject.

NO BIG DEAL – ACNE STUDIOS’ JONNY JOHANSSON ON NOVEL EXPRESSION

Johansson’s brazen approach is perhaps what has kept the buzz around his brand so consistently since 1996, when a 27-year-old Johansson and three colleagues, restless and creatively charged, formed Acne Studios.

THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE WAY YOU’RE TALKING BY FIONA TORRE AND KARLA CLARKE

The result of three years' labour, the new additions to Chanel's Coco Crush Fine Jewellery collection are a lesson in contrast and restraint. Inspired by the quilted motif and designed to sit flush with the wearer's skin, each piece conveys a suppleness not often enough found in the pieces we wear everyday.

LAST ONES STANDING BY DAN ROBERTS AND ANNA VIDOVIĆ

Fast fashion is not sustainable. In truth, our perpetual pursuit of the new is about as sustainable as coal. However, many of us are using this knowledge to make more virtuous choices about how and where we shop. Our future is hardly bleak or unexciting. Quite the opposite. It is hopeful. It is honest and full of integrity.
