Please note that unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control at our printers, THE GLOSS November issue will be published with The Irish Times on Friday November 5 instead of Thursday 4 – if you are a subscriber you will receive your copy as normal, and the newsstand version of THE GLOSS & The Mix will also be published on Friday. Below, discover what you’ll find inside the issue …

Miniaturism is huge at the moment; in literature (Jessie Burton’s novel The Miniaturist was a bestseller and BBC adaptation) in hospitality (pages 50 and 54), and housing (page 68). The allure of small things is intriguing, showing us how to see, learn and appreciate more with less. Susan Zelouf believes the best things come in small packages (page 6). Whether a new lipstick (page 44), book (page 74) or silk scarf (page 30), little luxuries are often transformative.

In her tenure as the house of Dior’s first female creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri has played with house codes (bar jackets, full skirts, scalloped trims…) and in the process turned her eye toward the millennial generation by mixing streetwear elements such as sneakers and logos. Under Chiuri’s stewardship the house’s future couldn’t be brighter. Read page 36 for an exclusive interview with Chiuri, and visit the new Dior Boutique at Brown Thomas Dublin. While you’re there, do explore The Marvel Room for gift ideas.

Elsewhere in the issue, Deirdre McQuillan finds the best Irish trophy sweaters this season; Trish Deseine suggests small plates for small gatherings; Emily Hourican explores the idea of outdoor pyschotherapy; wine editor Julie Dupuoy falls for Beaujolais again; Orna Mulcahy speaks to Lara Marlowe about her new memoir; Penny McCormick meets three Irish women responsible for dressing and accessorising le tout Hollywood; and GLOSS contributors share their interpretation of home, its meaning and importance.
