If any of the colourful fashion at the Coronation caught your eye, there’s a chance Isabel Spearman was behind it. Reportedly, at least. The high-calibre fashion consultant is too discreet to reveal her clients, but after helping Sam Cam formulate her first-lady style during her time in Downing Street, it’s rumoured that she’s behind Akshata Murty’s – very chic – recent step into the spotlight.

Spearman’s sartorial savvy has taken her from Obama staffer meetings to creating the Daily Dress Edit, a platform that connects dress lovers with the very best small brands. If that sounds like your idea of power dressing, you might want to check out her pop-up shop, opening today.

Elsewhere, we dig into how the 0.1 per cent really style their homes, and take a trip to the town that inspired van Gogh.

Happy reading!
