Don’t miss THE GLOSS MAGAZINE, out tomorrow, Thursday November 2, with The Irish Times …
There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to Quiet Luxury, the fashion “movement” of 2023. Less a trend than a subculture (which began among those very rich with an aversion to outward displays of ostentation) it has been adopted by the woman who has developed a personal style that comes from her own confidence, a look that seems to take very little for her to pull together, with pieces that aren’t good for just one season, but are simple, timeless and high quality. Quiet Luxury is linked to the broader conversation about sustainability in fashion and a move away from fast fashion to more considered consumption. One good coat you wear on repeat, one handbag you love, one pair of boots. See these quiet, elegant clothes on page 46 and find quietly luxurious accessories and watches on page 17.
We’re approaching November with an eye to slowing down, identifying a couple of good books to read, a show to see, a hike to do. We’re also planning to spend time in our own cities, towns and villages, where, armed with THE GLOSS x theshopkeepers.com Best Shops Ireland 2023 list – find it at www.thegloss.ie from tomorrow – we are celebrating the clever retailers who add joy to our locales.
Inside the issue you’ll also find a guide to new season accessories, keepsake beauty items, Julie Dupouy’s pick of prosecco for party season, brilliant books selected by Edel Coffey, Tim Magee’s guide to Northern Sardinia, a look around Bella Freud’s London home and the stories behind stylist Bay Garnett’s new book.
For all of this and much, much more pick up a copy of THE GLOSS November issue out tomorrow, Thursday November 2 with The Irish Times.
