The Fashion Audit: Eau Direction, Belgium's finest, scentsational and celebrity cast-offs
What we love, we're not sure about, we're buying and can't wait for...
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.We love: Shellys shoes
Some things are better the second time around – take The Godfather or Take That, for example.
This month, shoe brand Shellys is hoping that the second time is a charm as it relaunches. The grungy feel to the brand’s return collection is a perfect match to the punky undercurrent of this autumn/winter.

We’re not sure about: Eau Direction
One Direction’s new fragrance drops this weekend – a saccharine, candy-floss hued flacon of teen pop pap. It’s remarkably Barbie-fied for a bunch of blokes covered in tattoos. Which begs the question: did they really have much to do with this? Not likely, lads.
One Moment by One Direction, £39.95, harrods.com
We’re buying: Belgium’s finest
We’re not averse to fashionable imports and the newest one to hit our shores is Essentiel Antwerp. A Belgium-based label, its designs are a more sophisticated take on the tomboy look – think a more dressed-up Cara Delevingne. Find it in store at Harvey Nichols from Wednesday.

We can’t wait for: Scentsational
For many, those understated cream bags with black writing are the holy grail of beauty buys, which is why a big new release is major news. This September Jo Malone is launching Peony & Blush Suede in a cologne, hand wash, body crème and candle, all featuring a pretty floral scent.
Prices from £32, jomalone.com
We’re saving up for: Celeb cast-offs
We, like many, are guilty of having too many clothes. Hardlyeverwornit.com is designed to resell these hidden gems. Just in is this Burberry coat donated by Sienna Miller.
Coat, starting bid £275; hardlyeverwornit.com
