This week is all about brilliant women building things worth talking about – a designer putting down permanent roots on the street that made her name, a nutritionist rewriting the rules on feeling well, and a baker turning a champagne house’s biggest collaboration into pure theatre.
And leading the charge is a landmark opening bringing a year-long slice of Riviera glamour to Hyde Park Corner and instantly becoming one of London’s most talked-about new addresses. Here’s what we’re loving this week.
TAKE A SHOPPING TRIP HERE Wiggy Kit, Belgravia
Wiggy Hindmarch, founder of the cult-loved womenswear label, has opened her first flagship store at 48 Elizabeth Street in London’s Belgravia, following a series of successful pop-ups that built the brand’s devoted community. The Georgian shopfront, painted in Wiggy Kit’s signature earthy tones, opens onto an intimate 780-square-foot interior with walls in Edward Bulmer’s ‘Jonquil’ pink. Rather than a conventional retail fit-out, the space has been furnished as though it were Wiggy’s own home, with one-off pieces collected over the years sitting alongside the clothing rails, think midcentury furniture, French antiques and vintage finds. Hindmarch has said it was her loyal clients, keen to see, touch and try the clothes in person, who pushed her towards bricks-and-mortar in the first place. A proper homecoming, and reason enough for a trip to Belgravia.
READ THIS Rosemary Ferguson's The Reset
Nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner Rose Ferguson- founder of The 5 Day Plan and R Health Club, and Dior Beauty’s resident wellness expert – has released her new book, The Reset. Built as a four-week roadmap, it’s aimed at anyone who’s hit that “ugh” moment: body feeling off, energy tanked, nothing seeming to work the way it used to. Rather than prescribing another restrictive fad, Ferguson breaks down the science behind why your system has fallen out of sync (spoiler: it’s not just “getting older”) and offers realistic, sustainable steps to reset your metabolism, hormones and overall wellbeing – no crash diets, no joyless routines. It’s already drawn praise from Victoria Beckham, Edward Enninful and Charlotte Tilbury, who called it “an inspiring, empowering guide to restoring balance.” Equal parts reassuring and practical, it feels less like a diet book and more like permission to feel like yourself again.
CELEBRATE WITH THIS Moët & Chandon x Lily Vanilli
This week brings a collaboration built entirely for celebrating: Champagne house Moët & Chandon joining forces with East London’s reigning queen of showstopper cakes, Lily Vanilli. Best known for her sculptural, wildly detailed bakes out of her Bethnal Green bakery, Lily Vanilli has built a reputation as the go-to for anyone who wants their cake to look as extravagant as the occasion demands – all ruffles, bows and theatrical icing, its got swag iced all over it. Pairing that sensibility with one of the most storied names in Champagne feels like a natural fit: two houses fluent in the art of a proper party. Its the kind of indulgent, over-the-top pairing that photographs beautifully and tastes even better.
DRESS UP FOR WINTER WITH THIS HUSH A/W Collection
Hush has landed its new season edit, and it’s a masterclass in dressing for the cold without sacrificing polish. Key styles include the Suri Pure Wool Coat in deep blue, the Beckett Check Double-Faced Scarf and the Anastasia Brushed Merino Wool Jumper in oatmeal, alongside a selection of new-in accessories designed to layer in effortlessly. True to Hush’s approach, the collection is built around versatility – pieces that transition smoothly between seasons rather than being confined to a single moment in the wardrobe. This collection edit solves the trickiest seasonal dilemma: how to feel instantly autumnal without looking like you’re trying too hard. Whether it’s the brushed merino jumper doing the heavy lifting under the wool coat, or the check scarf adding a finishing touch, this is a collection built for the months ahead.
BOOK DATE NIGHT HERE Le Café LPM at The Lanesborough
La Petite Maison has opened Le Café LPM, an entirely new Riviera-inspired café concept, with an exclusive year-long residency at The Lanesborough. Reimagining the glamour and joie de vivre of the Côte d’Azur, the all-day format centres on coffee, pâtisserie and Riviera rituals by day, shifting into an elegant neighbourhood spot come evening. The ingredient-led menu brings small plates like burrata tartine and tuna carpaccio, heartier dishes including a veal ham Croque Monsieur and Veal Milanese, plus a new Riviera-inspired cocktail list – think Fig Leaf Negroni and Tomato & Olive Oil Sour. The space unfolds in terracotta, sage green and Calacatta marble beneath a glazed pavilion, with a terrace bringing Riviera café culture to Hyde Park Corner. One of London’s most anticipated openings, now open for lunch through late-night aperitivo.
