This Interior Designer Is Kate Middleton's Go-To. You Can Shop His Boutique from Anywhere

Bored stiff with 'tasteful' neutrals? Get thee to Pentreath & Hall, the London emporium helmed by architect-decorator Ben Pentreath and his longtime friend, artist Bridie Hall. In the last decade and a half, Pentreath has emerged as a master of layered British interiors that cheekily blend tradition and eccentricity—amassing a devoted following that includes multiple generations of the royal family, and redefining modern English style along the way.
Behind the glossy door of the Bloomsbury boutique (and online) shoppers encounter a stylish smorgasbord reflecting the duo's array of interests, from patterned papers inspired by the marble floors of St. Mark's Basilica to classical column table lamps crowned with silk shades. In 17 years of shopkeeping, Pentreath says his goal has remained the same: to create 'a sense of familiarity, as well as surprise.'

MSGM Resort 2026 Collection

Gardening isn't MSGM's usual terrain; this is a label more at home among a downtown artsy crowd than at a plant nursery. But this season Massimo Giorgetti leaned into florals and a certain breezy lightness. Not because he's suddenly trading sneakers for Wellington's, but because, in a world that feels increasingly off-kilter, the always optimistic Giorgetti chose softness as a form of resistance, a kind of escapism that doesn't ignore the chaos, but dares to bloom in spite of it. Eschewing sugar coating, Giorgetti's take on gardening wear came with a more urban edge. Sturdy canvas morphed into roomy trousers and utilitarian dungarees, teamed with cropped, zippered blousons in waxed cotton that felt more street than shed. Shirts were a medley of broderie anglaise, macramé, and pinstriped poplin, thrown together almost haphazardly and worn over slouchy denim or matching micro-minis. Ballooning bloomers and poufy crinolines billowed from airy cotton taffeta, like hot air balloons poised to lift off over a lush, verdant oasis. Elsewhere, a belted trench and sharply tailored blazer in floral Gobelin tapestry borrowed their pockets from gardener's aprons. Bouquets of wildflowers blossomed on second-skin lycra tops; a graphic pop print of a flower-filled vase served pop-art punch. Even a classic tablecloth check was blown up across a duster and matching skirt. Life may not be a picnic, but against the odds, Giorgetti's cheeky garden was defiantly, merrily in bloom.

Forget Neutrals! An Odd-Hued Sneaker Is My Summer Shoe

This summer is all about embracing a muted palette. At least, that is what the season's trending ready-to-wear colors would suggest. The runways were filled with loads of butter yellows, chocolate browns, and icy blues; 'Soft' and 'easy' are two words that come to mind when trying to define summer 2025 dressing. But for shoes, may we propose introducing a more anti-summer style into your wardrobe rotation—via an extremely odd-hued sneaker. If your closet is steering stealthy-chic, then your shoe game should go for more of a wow factor. Things can't all be so neutral. Where is the fun in that? And what better way to amp up an outfit than with a slim-green or acid-yellow sneaker. Eye-popping sneakers are currently having a moment on the feet of some notable celebrities. Earlier this month, Harry Styles stepped out in London wearing a pair of yellow Prada nylon low-tops—which he paired with itty-bitty gym shorts, naturally. (How Paul Mescal of him.) His mustard shoes worn with red shorts was an unexpected but very cool look. A reminder that color-mixing should be fun, and not taken so seriously.

MSGM Spring 2026 Menswear Collection

Milan isn't just the glossy Quadrilatero or a pit stop for luxury overtourism—at least not in Massimo Giorgetti's world. For him, the city is a living, shifting canvas where art, design, and underground music collide. 'Milan is expanding at the edges,' he says, 'where new creative communities are taking shape.' It's there that Giorgetti is finding new fuel, energized by welcoming these voices into his practice. This season, he scrapped the traditional runway show entirely; instead, his men's collection took over his store, transformed by a bold intervention from Milan-based Fosbury Architecture, who cloaked the space in a Christo-esque wrap that practically erased the retail fixtures. A lo-fi video by Turbo Studio set the tone, but the real star of the presentation was the 24.7 Fastlife Collective, a crew of young acrobatic bikers whose daredevil spirit inspired MSGM's take on men's, and that was also captured in the lookbook's images. 'I like to create collisions and accidents between different artistic languages,' Giorgetti said at a preview. Yet despite the talk of creative crashes, his ethos is anything but reckless. Giorgetti isn't out to shock, his approach is more conciliatory than confrontational. From the 24.7 Fastlife Collective, he drew not rebellion, but raw energy—the speed, the adrenaline, the rush. That vibe replaced logos on mesh tees and sweats with wording like Dopamine, Antidoping, and Endorphins, alongside nods to classic cycling culture; the Tour de France's yellow and the Giro d'Italia's pink jerseys, were reworked into sweats, cotton knits, and oversized shirting. The pieces were hybrid and functional, wired with a high-performance vibe. But Giorgetti, an avid mountain biker, dialed in a personal touch: natural landscapes snapped on his iPhone mid-ride were turned into prints on oversized shirting or knitted waistcoats. Pajama-like tailoring with contrasting piping was crafted from malleable triacetate jersey—the same fabric used for tracksuits—blending comfort with a sporty edge. In an out-of-context dash, Giorgetti turned thick floral Gobelin tapestry into a zip-up bomber with matching shorts, basically, haute upholstery with a BMX pulse. 'It's like wearing your living room armchair,' he joked. After all that high-speed biking adrenaline, a soft-landing crash straight into the couch would definitely be more than welcome.
