Elle UPFRONT

It’s time to get real about having children. This new batch of books takes an eye-wateringly honest approach to the darker side of

motherhood, from the social pressure of becoming a parent to post-birth isolation, and everything in between.

SIT UP AND TAKE NOTE: THE L ATEST IN LUXURY

FURNISHINGS IS THIS SIMPLY CHIC SEAT

The humble stool has emerged as fashion’s

new favourite surface on which to plonk one’s

backside. Forget the bleak box-like variety of

your school days, though – Bottega Veneta

is championing comfort, seating guests at its

SS2O show on quilted leather ottomans. Then

there are chic wooden styles for more ascetic

tastes, like the playful seating by Miu Miu in

collaboration with M/M (Paris). Pull up a pew.
