The Fashion Audit: Juliet's jewels, all tied up and designer duds
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: Juliet’s jewels
Not content with conquering the jewellery market, Swarovski has branched out into the film industry, too, with its new business arm, Swarovski Entertainment. Its first endeavour is Romeo and Juliet, which features the star-crossed lovers clad in costumes fittingly bejewelled by the brand.

We’re not sure about: Designer duds
We can’t blame designers for putting their name to other projects – fashion after all, is not an easy industry to make money in. What we do object to, however, is the seemingly random nature of some of these collaborations; Giles Deacon’s collection of sofas for DFS, for example.

We’re buying: All tied up
These swanky accessories by Ermenegildo Zegna are from the Peid-de-Poule (that’s houndstooth to non-Francophiles) collection created to coincide with the 50th Anniversary Wool Awards. To celebrate the launch, the Italian brand is hosting an interactive window at Harrods which showcases the stages of wool production.
From £90, exclusively at Harrods, harrods.com
We can’t wait for: Japanese tricks
Cosmetics brand Japonesque was originally formulated specifically with make-up artists in mind. This week it arrives in store at John Lewis, meaning you can get your fix of make-up, brushes and tools, even if your skills aren’t quite up to professional status.
Prices from £12, launches Wednesday, John Lewis, Oxford Street, London W1
We’re saving up for: Party feet
The festive season will soon be upon us, and with perfect timing this party style from up-and-coming Italian luxury-footwear label Aquazzura has popped onto our retail radar. Exclusive to Shoescribe, the suede cut-out style comes in three colours.
£460, shoescribe.com
