It’s time to layer up and have fun accessorising this season’s rather sober, understated clothes with scarves, gloves and jewellery.
Will you be “gloving” yourself? Irish designer Paula Rowan has remained relatively under the radar since she launched her eponymous brand in 2008, even though her gloves are worn by celebrities the world over and widely acclaimed by the international fashion press. Paula gives us an insight into her work and her life in Dublin, and adopted city of Naples.
Rebecca Willis explores the stories clothes tell, autumn’s best knits are woven in Ireland and it’s all rosy in the watch world, while make-up is getting brighter and pricier!
Historian Antonia Hart reveals a new book by Arthur Edward (Ned) Guinness, Lord Iveagh, is full of fascinating details. Guinness: A Family Succession was released the same day as the new Netflix series, House of Guinness. We know which one we can rely on for a faithful account of events – it’s a brilliant, entertaining read for a dark October evening. Faber’s new anthology of Seamus Heaney’s poems – all of them in one place for the first time – is published on October 9. The poet always loved publication day, writes his daughter Catherine.
Edel Coffey shares this month’s releases and books about friendship, and interrogates crime novelist and screenwriter Lynda La Plante. Author Anna Carey waxes lyrical about bandmate romances and we share a new music playlist.
Food writer Amber Guinness shows us her favourite haunts in Florence, best explored in winter. Lest you feel the urge to hibernate – with a slice of Kitty Coles’ chocolate tart or a nice Rioja chosen by wine writer Julie Dupouy – you might want to read how Polly Vernon is fighting fit.
For all of this and much more, don’t miss THE GLOSS every month …
