Words Megan Ellaby, Style Blogger
Hey, Megan Ellaby here to welcome you to the much-anticipated third issue of the Carnaby Magazine. As a style blogger from Manchester, I love nothing more than a regular trip down to London and I bet you can guess where I always head to first… Carnaby is my favourite part of London for so many reasons. From its rich musical heritage to street after street of some of my favourite international flagships, cult labels and independent brands, Carnaby is the place to find some of the best brands in the business for spring/ summer ‘18, with one-off concepts (think M.C. Overalls and The Ragged Priest ) next door to global firsts – here’s looking at you, Too Faced . This season, it’s all about pastels and ice-cream shades; think pistachio, lemon sorbet, palma-violet and rose. To get your sugar hit, head to Lazy Oaf in the Newburgh Quarter or Skinnydip and Brandy Melville on Foubert’s Place for all things sweet. Be sure to head to page 17 for tons of summer styling inspiration. If it’s denim you’re after, think dark, selvedge styles in a cleaned-up and polished way. Head to True Religion and Levi’s Vintage Clothing for a pair of keep-forever jeans. For evening wear, The Kooples is a personal favourite of mine for that stand-out rock ‘n’ roll look. Guys, a visit to Ben Sherman and Paul Smith will answer all your tailoring needs; find out where Paul McCartney, Heath Ledger and Roger Moore have had their suits crafted for them in Carnaby on page 28. Beauty babes, Carnaby is your one-stop portal for getting that all-important summer glow, with the likes of Urban Decay , Pixi and Benefit on hand to get you feeling fabulous. Become master of the coolest winged white eye liner on page 36 – perfect for festival season and beyond.
Enjoy! Megan x
