Ferragamo making a very good case for head-to-toe chocolate. As if I needed encouraging.

It’s the draping for me. All that fabric sweeping across the shoulder, the little glimpse of waist and the belt keeping it together. There’s movement, but it still looks beautifully composed.

Then the cream clutch breaks up the brown just enough. I wouldn’t add much else. Sometimes you have to know when to leave a good thing alone. Apparently.

Lunch, a meeting, then drinks? Lovely. The outfit’s sorted. You deal with the diary.

Amelia wears Ferragamo’s chocolate draped top and knee-length skirt, belt, cream clutch and dark heels, Spring/Summer 2027, runway look 26.

Saint Laurent. Well, nobody’s losing you in a crowd.

I love this !!!! this jacket, pulled right into the waist, with that slim skirt underneath. Then there’s the olive against the gold. That colour combination is doing an awful lot for me. I’m on the floor !!

The scarf’s length? Completely unnecessary for keeping your neck warm. Absolutely necessary for the look.

The high sandals finish it beautifully. And the heels in this collection need a post of their very own , Personally, I’d be finding somewhere with a very long entrance to slither in to .

Chloé, this is romance with a fairly relaxed attitude towards coverage. And I’m very much here for it.

I love the delicate lace against all that gathered volume. My Barbie’s would be fighting over this in 91’ for sure !

Soft, dramatic and showing exactly enough leg for those sandals to have their moment.

Where are we wearing it? Someone needs to organise a garden party immediately. And check the weather.

When this look first appeared on the runway, I had to do a double take.

Is it just me, or is this Carrie Bradshaw to a tee—but in 2026?

The colours. The clashing prints. The belt. What’s not to love? It’s got that “just popping out” energy, knowing full well the pavement is about to become a runway.

Dries Van Noten absolutely nailing an elegant day off. A day off from work, obviously. Never from getting dressed.

Bottega has absolutely nailed this red dress.

The texture, the way it flows, the ruching changing direction—it all creates different patterns and movement through the dress. There’s so much going on, but it looks effortless.

Add the Bottega wrist-strap bag and a pair of flats to dress it down. If it’s even possible to dress this dress down.

Me? I’d be tempted by a pair of bright red Christian Louboutin heels. Effortlessly cool is lovely, but so is making an entrance.

I’ve always had an affinity for Rocha. For me, it’s always been about the texture. Beautiful fabrics, beautiful materials—and what happens when you put them together.

This is a shining example. I’m loving what the textures are creating here.

I’m loving these Roksanda accessories. Yes, we can be loud—but sometimes let’s use our indoor voices.

Classic, sharp tailoring. Then BAM… HELLO.

Where are we wearing it? The ex’s funeral, possibly? Oh, calm down, I’m joking. I’m not ruining these heels.

Amelia wears Roksanda’s black tailoring with those magenta gloves and fringed shoes. The accessories have it.

Erdem, Erdem, Erdem. What have you done to me? You’ve broken me, that’s what. This collection is beautiful from beginning to end.

Why this look? Because every bride-to-be should be looking here for pre- and post-wedding inspiration. Strong and confident, with a softness that quite literally follows behind you.

Is it just me, or does this scream Working Girl? @melaniegriffith would 100% have had this in her wardrobe.

Why “Last Word”? Simple. No one is backchatting you in this little number. Commanding authority shouldn’t mean raising your voice—or your hemline—if it’s done correctly. Just saying.

Loewe’s black draped leather top combined with Prada’s red wrap skirt and topping it off with Saint Laurent sandals and earrings. Amelia means business.

DRESSING ICONS 001: KATE MOSS
A NIGHT AT THE AWARDS

There was only ever one person who could go first.

Kate Moss is not just a fashion icon. She is the fashion icon for us. The woman who can make a slip dress, a pair of boots and a cigarette look like a movement.

So if The Archivist Styles somehow got the call to dress her for the British Fashion Awards, I already know exactly which direction I’d run in.

Not new. Not shiny. Not trying too hard.

Vintage Mary Quant.
A red archival dress and jacket pulled from proper museum-level fashion history, because dressing Kate in something everyone else can buy tomorrow would feel almost offensively sensible.

Then Garrard. Lots of Garrard.

Rubies and diamonds piled on properly. Necklaces layered, wrapped and reworked, with one of the long diamond strands wound around her wrist as a bracelet because jewellery this good deserves more than one job.

And because one more little bit of decadence never hurt anybody, a black Simon Miller Tassel Knotty Bag.

Then the red patent Rosamund Muir boots, because if you’re going to send Kate Moss onto a British red carpet wearing Mary Quant, you may as well finish the sentence properly.

It’s British fashion history wearing British fashion history.

And, frankly, I’d quite like to see it happen.

Kate, darling. The outfit’s ready.

Love,
Amelia x

DRESSING ICONS 001: KATE MOSS
BY DAY / BY NIGHT

The thing about an icon is that she shouldn’t need a costume change to become somebody else.
She just changes the lighting.

By Day, Kate is all soft chiffon, brown leather and very expensive nonchalance. @chloe ruffles, an @etro jacket, @hermes at the neck and in the hand, @gianvitorossi boots and a Rolex because apparently knowing the time can also be chic. Sometimes …

It’s lunch that accidentally becomes drinks.
It’s “I just threw this on” when absolutely nobody believes you.

Then the sun goes down.
And suddenly we’re in By Night.

Valentino in pink and silver, dripping with embellishment. @newbottega Veneta gold at the ears. @RosamundMuir red patent heels underneath it all and an @olympialetan Down the Rabbit Hole book clutch because if we’re going out, I’d quite like the handbag to have a plot. Because I generally loose mine ….

Same woman. Same face. Same instinct.

This is how I like to see her floaty , effortless and whimsical , but don’t come to close I’ll bite !

Just a little more sparkle and considerably worse decisions.

Kate by day is an attitude.
Kate by night is an event.

Love,
Amelia x

DRESSING ICONS 001: KATE MOSS
AIRPORT DUTY / THE RETURN FLIGHT

I’ve never really understood the idea of “airport clothes”.

Personally, I don’t walk through an airport. I arrive at one.

The terminal is a catwalk with worse lighting, a boarding pass and somebody shouting about liquids. And I think plenty of women secretly agree. There is something delicious about getting properly dressed to go somewhere, even if half the journey is spent removing your shoes at security.

So, naturally, Kate needed two looks.
For Airport Duty, we went full fabulous traveller: @erdem tailoring, @gucci silk, @ysl denim tucked into @gianvitorossi boots, @loewe rose-tinted aviators, a flash of fuchsia @ralphlauren fringe and a proper black Ralph Lauren Purple Label duffle. Jewellery on, sunglasses on, absolutely no intention of looking tired.

Then there’s The Return Flight.
Softer. Slightly undone. The I’ve been away, I’ve had a life, don’t ask me what happened version.
@velvet_hearts white Minnie over @frame denim, @jacqueswei.studio leather thrown into the equation, black-and-gold Ralph Lauren heels and that frankly ridiculous Ralph Lauren Collection RL50 caiman bag, because if you’re going to come home, you may as well come home carrying £21,740 worth of attitude.

Two airport looks designed to turn heads in any departure lounge.

Unless you’re flying private, sweetie. In which case I assume the lounge is just you.

Love,
Amelia x
