LADY GARDEN

Everyone from Cara and Poppy Delevingne, to Naomi Campbell and Charlotte Tilbury have designed their own Lady Garden t-shirts in aid of Gynaecological cancer.

Building on last year's majorly successful celebrity campaign, 'The Lady Garden' gang is back for 2017 with a collection of personalised t-shirts being sold in aid of Gynaecological cancer.

Where last year's campaign featured the likes of Margot Robbie, Alexa Chung and Britney Spears, this year's group of influential women include the entire Delevingne trio (Cara, Poppy and Chloe), make-up legend Charlotte Tilbury and the iconic 90s supermodel Naomi Campbell.

Raising money and awareness for Gynaecological cancer and its symptoms, each celebrity has embraced the tongue-in-cheek Lady Garden ideology and personalised a classic white t-shirt with their own playful design created by Black Score designer, Simeon Farrar.

Speaking on her involvement with the campaign, Cara Delevingne said, 'There's a taboo surrounding vaginas that I want to get rid of….it shouldn't have to be so serious. It can be fun and easy to talk about. It should be.'

Nailed it.

Each Lady Garden t-shirt will be available to buy in-store at Selfridges and online from 5^th October.

LUREX TIGHTS

Andrea Bucci is known for their stunning and lustrous basics, with high quality materials and sumptuous bronzed colours. Now we have something closer to a pair of true fashion tights, but they have all the hallmarks of their fashion house's name. Simplistic, elegant and lustrous, these high lurex tights are a dazzling item that truly sparkles among a crowd of less impressive items. These make an outfit and stop the show.
