London / Day at Wimbledon
felicedahl_wimbledon1

For years I've played and enjoyed watching tennis. There's something so special about Wimbledon - anyone who's ever been there says the same thing. I think it has something to do with the fact that it remains classic, with its all-whites outfit rule, to its strawberries and cream. It feels as if little has changed here since its beginnings.

This year, I was lucky enough to get tickets to Centre Court, where I watched Djokovic vs Mannarino, V Williams vs Ostapenko, and Halep vs Konta.

London / 70 Years of Dior with the V&A

One Friday night, I had the chance to get a behind-the-scenes insight into the latest fashion tome, Dior Catwalk, at the V&A. Authors Alexander Fury contributor to T The New York Times Style Magazine, and Susannah Frankel, editor-in-chief of AnOther Magazine, discussed the house of Dior, its codes, and how each designer has interpreted them throughout the brand's 70 years.

Largely based around Monsieur Christian Dior's "woman as flower" ideology, we followed the New Look, sloped shoulders, corsetry, and endless tiers of material through the various Dior designers. Interestingly enough, it's only Dior's current head designer, Maria Grazia Chiuri, who has chosen to reference other Dior designers (John Galliano, Gianfranco Ferré, Raf Simons..), as well as the original.

Would love to get my hands on this book!
