WORKSHOP GALLERY

There’s a hands-free usefulness behind

the most ergonomic accessories of

A/W18. So put your handbags on hold

in favour of this season’s practical

pocketed styles, which can be strapped

across the body or buckled around

the waist. For a luxurious take on the

tool belt, Parisian maison Hermès and

outdoors expert Holland & Holland

have both created leather styles with

multi-pockets, which are perfect

for housing sunglasses, keys, mobile

phones and more. Haute holders for

those everyday essentials, and versatile

accessories for an impromptu site visit.

IT OUT

This season’s accessories are

a bunch of pocket rockets

With hashtags driving so much

social conversation, it’s little wonder

that brands are scrambling to claim

their own 24 hours of fame – a day

dedicated to whatever it is they ofer.

A typical month on the calendar

ofers a smorgasbord of hashtag

holidays celebrating everything from

Star Wars and hats to doctors and

pets. Increasingly, however, they

are becoming dominated by food.

These man-made celebrations may

lack the tradition of, say, St Valentine

or Nicholas, but they more than

make up for it in branded bluster.

Peanut butter, crisps, doughnuts,

piña coladas and tacos have all had

their own day. And foods that lack

enough cache to claim their own

special day can scurry under broad

umbrella hashtags like greasy foods

and sandwiches. So many hashtags,

so few days of the year. Brands

looking for some social attention

should act fast. #scarcitylooms
