    British Luxury Mood: Nostalgic, Strategic, and a Little Bit Feral

    Sep 25 - By 

    Sup Sugarcups, to the message I got receipts and spreadsheets for what’s poppin off in British luxury as of late. Hii besties, the new wave of British luxury fashion is not the ‘what’s in the shops’ sort of British luxury fashion, the new wave of British luxury fashion is power moves, a longing cycle, a business family living in one gloriously glossy campaign. Can we please skip to 2025 and get over the onslaught of ‘ah yes, British luxury’ the Topshop renaissance, Billie Piper giving Russell & Bromley a heel-toxic injection of life. And, Topshop coming to your local department…

    How to Be the Best-Dressed Strategist at LFW 2025

    Sep 18 - By 

    Salutations Sugarcups, London Fashion Week is back and is bigger than ever Beautiful, and if you haven’t already scribbled all over the London Fashion Week 2025 calendar then one piece of advice – just shift the Pilates class. Because this season? It’s no longer just about fashion. It’s about culture, it’s about business, it’s about collab-heaven and digital pods stacked up along row after row of stands. I remember my first every London Fashion Week (a long while ago now – supposedly) when I was fresh out of marketing college and there I was, outside Somerset House, in a pair…

    Why AI Visual Search Fashion App Is Your New Bestie

    Sep 16 - By 

    Hola Sugarcups! Today I’m chatting about this “hot off the trending press” tech news – How AI Visual Search Fashion Apps Are Changing the Way Gen Z Shops Fashion (or, how I spent an entire day letting apps style me and somehow came out with a pair of black basic loafers in my cart) Morning Crisis: Closet vs. Me And most of the mornings, to be honest, the mornings when I open my eyes and hit the ground and walk to my wardrobe and open the wardrobe and say…to this client meeting I’ve got today…bombadum…I have blazer after blazer after…

    Dopamine Dressing Is A New Pineapple On Pizza

    Sep 01 - By 

    Hola Sugarcups I need to get this off of my chest because it’s been brightening up my wardrobe, my mood and my analytics dashboard – dopamine dressing. By these last couple months of scrolling through your ‘gram/Tik Tok feed, do you ever stop and look at your feed and think “everyone looks like they are shopping at the same place and I want to go there too?” If you are asking yourself where the tomato shaped bag or a bubble gum pink blazer are trending, you are probably asking yourself what is even going on with 2025. As an analyst…

    50 Is the New Fierce: Why Fashion Over 50 Women Are Dressing Better Than Your Favorite Influencer

    Aug 28 - By 

    Hola Sugarcups. Information you’ll forget after 50. Think again, fashion over 50 is not a thing. And it’s nothing to do with ‘age-appropriate’ dressing (honestly, that phrase should have been abolished alongside the ever-expanding power-suit, and the low-fat craze). It is about sartorial control. Because women who are bringing new style to 50, 60 and beyond are not just showing us how to dress, they’re doing it with intention, with power and with not fks given. Whether it’s Naomi Smith and her anti-trend look, to Cate Blanchett and her spoon-top sustainable look, there is a seismic shift about to occur…

    Louis Vuitton Beauty Launch: How to Build Brand Intimacy

    Aug 21 - By 

    Sugarcups, gather around If that Vuitton beauty launch didn’t make you stop scrolling to think, you might be missing the big branding swing of the decade. And it’s not just lipstick, it’s legacy, ritual, emotion onboarding in refillable containers – and the fun part…i am totally on it today. In a feedback loop of dupe discourse and sale prices, Vuitton just re-taught me that the game-changing marketing future will be scarily professional hands-off that bonds us; let me show you that campaign unlocked the moneymaking methodology behind emotion-led branding, technologized engagement, and microcollectible buying. All I did was, in the…

    Leopard Print, Lace & a Bit of Marketing Magic: AW25

    Aug 14 - By 

    Hola Sugarcups, London, early am. Bums are wet from the pavement. Morning coffee is hot. The city is about to get itself into some kind of seasonality. I’m sitting by the window and watching folks dust off the knit, put on the fake fur, throw on the cheetah print and pixelate, to become one big walking mood board. If you’ve ever thrown up a campaign without an idea or tried to get a brand to resonate with people’s real priorities, then you know: fashion isn’t just about the clothes. Maybe you’ve already hit add three more definitions to the growing…

    What I Love About Lionesses Fashion Strategy

    Aug 04 - By 

    Hola Sugarcups, If you believed the Lionesses had studs and stunners on the pitch, just wait till you see their off-duty swagger. So today I’m getting into some style tea which I’m super passionate about the Lionesses’ style strategy. Not only the kits and kicks, but fierce boss energy in each outfit, press looks and Insta post. Let’s find out what our queens are owning the style pitch as much as the football one. It started with a blazer. Cream and black, tailored and delivered with finesse, worn by England’s Lionesses as they entered Downing Street to celebrate their landmark…

    Paris Haute Couture Week Reveal New Consumer Psychology for Creators

    Jul 16 - By 

    Hola Sugarcups, bonjour Paris Haute Couture Week I woke up like this… 48 notifications before I even clicked for the first cup of coffee. Product launches, designer unveilings, AI textiles, celeb integrations, trend predictions… And only 1 conclusion: Paris Haute Couture Week 2025 is over & the numbers prove it. But this time it was not only about creative inspiration. The collections brought of an emotional transaction, fleeting identity & socio-cultural transition. What I saw was strategic. It’s no longer just the fabric of the garments, but the fabric of the relationships! And if I had to one-word this runway then…
