The adjectives thrown at Rick
Owens’ designs – goth, grunge,
directional – make his clothes
sound darker than they are. Rather,
the subversively romantic clothes of
his main line are easy to wear.
Owens’ second line, Lilies, is
a foray into more casual basics,
but it remains true to his aesthetic.
His muted palette and theatrical ruching and draping carry through
onto jersey separates like tie-front cardigans, long skirts and asymmetric dresses. From £185. New to
Designer Studio, First Floor

Pitti Uomo in Florence, the hotly
anticipated range demonstrated
Chiuri and Piccioli’s couture
know-how and razor-sharp attention
to detail, with slim-fit pleated trousers,
pea coats, and shirts with heat-bonded
tape seams, calling to mind an early
1960s Roman chic. Jacket £2,600
and trousers £229. Available from

Thank you Guerlain, for making a lifelong summer fantasy a reality. For SS12, the Parisian brand has enabled us all to channel our inner, tanned, Pucci-print clad (not to mention impossibly glamorous) Talitha Getty, thanks to Terra Terra Azzurra, its new colour collection in collaboration with Emilio Pucci. The star product is a complexion enhancer, which combines Guerlain’s famous Terracotta formula with a Pucci-print design and should be topped with the Pucci-edition Météorites pearls for a luminescent balmy evening glow. The collection also has pops of Pucci colour in a special-edition azure-blue nail lacquer and, more unusually, a blue lip gloss that glides on much like a berry colour. From £17.50. Available from The Cosmetics Hall, Ground Floor; and harrods.com

To mark the Jubilee, Estée Lauder has created the Jewelled Flag of Britain Solid Perfume Compact, handcrafted with Swarovski crystals. £320. The Cosmetics Hall, Ground Floor; and harrods.com
