Olivia Dean is the face of Burberry's new scent

Eight years after the fragrance’s original release, Burberry Her is introducing a new member to the family, and just as we’ve grown up since then, the latest edition of the Fruity Gourmand fragrance has had a seriously grown-up make-over. Swap the sweet top notes of strawberry with more sensual cherries, middle notes of soft violet with the warmer amber accord and deep patchouli, but keep the same musky vanilla base notes we loved so much in the original, and you’re left with a deliciously sultr...

Who. What. Where? No. 138

First up this week, a boozy rec, because who isn’t looking to get a little merry this time of year? The team behind beloved Eastern Mediterranean restaurant chain Brother Marcus have blessed us with a little sibling called Kamara as an early Christmas present this year. Kamara takes everything we love about Brother Marcus — the warmth of the East Med, the rustic décor — but this time, they’re swapping calamari for cocktails and ambient lighting to create Soho’s sultriest new watering hole. They’...

HUNGER's holiday gift guide — Featuring Calvin Klein and Issey Miyake

T-minus one week until Christmas, and it looks as though your nearest and dearest will be looking forward to lumps of coal coming through the chimney, rather than presents under the tree. Us too, and we know that there’s nothing worse than making the odyssey through Oxford Street in peak tourist season with no clear aim of what exactly it is you’re looking for. That’s why we’re treating you to one final gift guide just in time for the holiday. From PJs to perfumes, we promise our gift guide is c...

HUNGER's holiday gift guide — Featuring Dolce & Gabbana and SKIMS

Despite the oddly tropical temperatures telling us otherwise, there’s no denying it… mince pies are flying off the shelves, Winter Wonderland is busier than ever, and somewhere in the distance you can hear Mariah Carey’s sweet whistle tones announcing “its tiiiiime!”, yet you’re still struggling to think of what your loved ones want for Christmas (apart from yourself, of course). Luckily for you, our holiday gift guide is stuffed with only the best finds for even your most difficult-to-buy-for r...

Who. What. Where? No. 137

Santa might not yet have come to town, but lucky for us Londoners, local designer Sinead Gorey has. The ultimate cool-girl brand is hosting its first ever stand-alone pop up just in time for Christmas party season, and there’s treats in store for everyone, naughty or nice. In case it’s somehow gone under your radar, the brand celebrates preserving nightlife culture — something we here at HUNGER are huge fans of — and modern femininity by giving maximalist layers and textures a luxurious edge. It...

HUNGER's holiday gift guide — Featuring Jil Sander and MAC

Is it that time of year already? Michael Bublé is slowly defrosting in time for the festive season, and despite saying you’d at least try to do your Christmas shopping in the Black Friday sales this year, Cyber Monday has come and gone and there are still no gifts underneath your tree (come to think of it, add putting up the tree to the to-do list as well). Sound about right? Well, don’t panic just yet — Santa’s elves work hard, but the HUNGER team work harder. Whether you’re shopping for your b...

Who. What. Where? No. 135

Fed up of this weather? Dreaming of a winter getaway? It’s no secret that we at HUNGER are huge fans of The Standard. But it’s not just an obligatory place to stay — it’s now coming with you wherever you’re heading. That’s because the hotel group has teamed up with Italian luggage company Crash Baggage to create the aptly-named ‘Icon’ suitcase. Of course, it comes in The Standard’s signature shade of red, but even cooler than that, it has a pre-dented shell, which reframes those (usually annoyin...

Chanel’s winter jewellery campaign has us dreaming of more than diamonds

To celebrate the season of giving, Chanel has launched its latest jewellery campaign, From Dream to Reality, a capsule made up of select pieces pulled from the impressive jewellery portfolio dropped by the house this year. Fronted by models Mona Tougaard and Rebecca Leigh, the campaign centres around the pair playing in the snow and “drawing a wish” on its white canvas. The drawing is made up of the dreamy motifs used across Chanel’s Fine Jewellery in 2025 — like the brand new Chance de Chanel c...

The Goat — Featuring Lyle & Scott x Fly Nowhere

Iconic winter companions for over twenty years, it’s only right that UGG’s newest seasonal drops are named Iconic Feeling and Iconic Innovation. The former, fronted by British musical icons Rina Sawayama and Central Cee celebrates the season of giving and receiving. It centres classic UGG styles such as the Ultra Mini Chalet Boot and Ultra Mini Weather Hybrid Boot, reaffirming what we already know to be true — no-one quite does cosy season like UGG. Meanwhile, the Iconic Innovation drop celebrat...

Who. What. Where? No. 134

Want some new music to brighten up these suddenly arctic temperatures?

Partnering with Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), the mixtape features eight artists who’ve helped shape the burgeoning station’s journey over the last six months.

Louis Vuitton has launched new seventies-inspired watches

Hot off the press from La Fabrique du Temps — Louis Vuitton’s designated timepiece manufacturer in Switzerland — the fashion powerhouse has announced two new watches set to join its exclusive Escale collection. As ever, the pieces strive to embody the house’s “ongoing commitment to watchmaking excellence and innovation”, but newly, mark an exploration into “the rare métier of ornamental stonework”. 
The Escale Ornamental Stone watches are inspired by 1970s sophistication, crafted for both it-gir...

Why I Won’t be Deleting Photos of my Ex from Instagram, or, How to Navigate a Breakup in 2025

Three weeks after I broke up with my ex, I started writing this piece about navigating breakups in the era of social media. Just as I went to edit it to submit to the Sex and Relationships section of my student magazine, I looked on Instagram to find that my ex had indeed deleted all evidence of me from his feed, and, filled with shame and disappointment, I quickly parked it. I found it again today, months after the fact, and whilst the Lucy of November 2025 is over the breakup and definitely no...

LFW AW25: Black PR Press Day

In the calm after the storm that was London Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2025, STRAND was invited to attend the Black PR press week, where the firm’s strong portfolio of brands showcased their AW25 collections in a more relaxed environment. Although some of the brands showing in the sunlit office were also presenting during LFW, the event provided an opportunity to explore some of the firm’s other brands we had not yet come across. Eighteen diverse and rounded collections were presented within the...

ATTREN. - Bold, Versatile, Fresh

For Matt and Lauren Rowley, co-founders of burgeoning streetwear brand ATTREN., street style is about more than dressing for comfort - it is a symbol of strength, resilience, and optimism. Though they only released their first collection in 2023, a rich, personal history is woven into the fabric of ATTREN.. Somewhat nervous when I made my podcasting debut earlier this month as an interview feature on ‘The ATTREN. Way’, I was immediately put at ease by the couple’s positivity and passion. During...

LFW AW25 - WANNI FUGA - Refined Expressionism

For Toluwani Wabara, creator of luxury womenswear brand Wanni Fuga, fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a representation of her roots, experiences, and the journey that has shaped her brand since its creation in 2014. Her Nigerian upbringing has always been an essential part of her designs, with every piece symbolising a link to her African heritage. We had the pleasure of interviewing Wabara during the presentation of her brand’s AW25 collection last Sunday, where we asked her how her upbri...

The Style Shift - Pornstars, and Nepo-Babies, and Politics, Oh My! A Summary of LFW AW25

With the sudden onslaught of spring, it might feel as though February and Fashion Week happened lightyears ago. Whilst this may be true, nostalgic as always, I can’t help but lament the passing of the season’s most important week in not only fashion, but celeb-spotting, too. Though I mainly partook from the comfort of my own home, I was fortunate enough to attend some of the LFW events myself this year and do some spotting in-person. I found myself foraging for stickers and stamps alongside Cent...

The Style Shift - BAFTA's: The Dawn Of The Plain Black Suit

Women, for the better part of a century, have time and again reverted back to the classic ‘Little Black Dress’ (LBD). This wardrobe staple has carried us through years of outfit dilemmas and unexpected plans. Whilst most of us do tend to branch out fashion-wise when it comes to more high-profile events, there is one constant to be seen. Be it the Grammys, the Oscars, or even the Met Gala, you can always count upon an excruciatingly high percentage of male attendees coming dressed in their own ve...

The Style Shift - From Heels To Hair: Why Tate McRae’s Latest Music Video Is My Current Obsession

As a newly single wannabe F1 WAG, the latter came to me at exactly the right time: nodding off in my best friend’s spare bed, in the same pair of leopard print pyjama bottoms I had been wearing for the past week. Watching Tate strut onto the screen in leopard print of her own (archive Cavalli, as opposed to 50% off at Urban Outfitters), I decided it was time to make a change - how was I supposed to charm the trousers off of Mr Elordi without first changing my own? The song has since become my ul...

The Style Shift - Trendspotting: What The It-Girls Of Copenhagen Are Wearing This Winter

In a desperate search for some much needed R&R amidst the January assessment period, I found myself in Copenhagen at the start of this year with my (now ex) boyfriend to celebrate our upcoming anniversary (which we did not reach but conveniently falls on the same day as the publication of this article, every cloud, eh?). Whilst I don’t remember my trip to the World’s Happiest City being quite as relaxing as I hoped, one thing I did enjoy was surveying the street-style trends. My previous visit t...

The Style Shift - Blood, Sweat Tour, And Tears: From Rituals To Red Carpets, Dilara Findikoglu’s Year In Fashion

Hello, January! The post-Christmas hangover, the never-ending cheese in the fridge, and the rain fudging my plans for a New Year’s Day walk (aka excuse for a lunchtime pint) - oh, how I’ve missed you! Stubborn to change in true Taurus fashion, the New Year is for me a time of reflection, not reinvention. Whilst secretly my heart is all aflutter with the inevitable style-shift of the New Year, before we look at what’s to come, I wanted to share my favourite fashion discovery of 2024 - Dilara Find...
