This autumn, culture lovers have plenty to sink their teeth into. A fresh campaign from a British fashion house quietly spotlights tailoring as identity, while a luxury hotel brand is unveiling intimate cultural‑travel offers in global cities.
In London’s Tate Modern, a new Picasso‑curated show staged by contemporary artists is drawing art lovers with both visual and performance programmes. Meanwhile, sushi enthusiasts are being treated to this chef‑led tasting menu. And, for the listeners among us, there’s a deep dive podcast that traces the contours of a celebrated filmmaker’s work, inviting reflection through a female lens. This is what we’re loving in this week’s Citizen Femme hotlist.
BUY THIS Holland Cooper's Belgravia Blazer Westminster Tweed
British luxury label Holland Cooper’s launches their new Iconic Tailoring campaign celebrating the modern women who inspire confidence, achievement, and style—from broadcasting, food, fashion, the arts to entrepreneurship. The campaign unites figures such as Mary Berry, Clare Balding, Lisa Dwan, Jodie Kidd and founder Jade Holland Cooper, each wearing Holland Cooper’s heritage craftsmanship in pieces like sharply tailored trousers, elegant coats and the signature Belgravia Blazer. With every purchase of the Westminster Tweed Belgravia Blazer, 10% of sales will support The King’s Trust “Change a Girl’s Life” initiative (helping to fund vital programmes that give young women the skills, confidence, and opportunities to transform their futures), reinforcing the brand’s commitment to dressing women with purpose and empowering the next generation.
VISIT THIS Theatre Picasso, Tate Modern
This autumn, Tate Modern launches Theatre Picasso (17 September 2025 – 12 April 2026), a centenary tribute to Picasso’s 1925 masterpiece The Three Dancers, reimagining his art through the lens of theatricality. Staged by contemporary artist Wu Tsang and curator Enrique Fuenteblanca, the show includes over 45 works drawn from Tate’s own collection and key European loans — paintings, prints, sculpture, textiles — with The Three Dancers at its heart, flanked by iconic works such as Weeping Woman‑1937 and Nude Woman in a Red Armchair‑1932. The exhibition also explores how Picasso created his public persona as artist‑performer, drawing inspiration from marginalised entertainers like circus folk, bullfighters and flamenco dancers, and includes rarely seen loans and theatrical responses by choreographers to deepen the conversation. Theatre Picasso celebrates Picasso’s bold departure into emotional expression, highlighting the transformative power of performance in art, identity, and myth.

LISTEN TO THIS LADIES OF LYNCH
