Welcome to the April issue. We’re fully in spring mode at Calendar and can’t wait to share this month’s lineup with you. There are the labels and people currently on our radar, including an edit of the best trench coats out there and perfect ‘Love Forever’ pieces; the Calendar-approved beauty brands you need to know, plus an expert’s guide to doing the perfect red lip for spring; the dream destinations you’ll want to put on your post-lockdown travel list; and how to ‘Calendar’ your home – and garden – as well as some surprise guests. Enjoy – and wishing you a joyful month ahead.

A chunky gold chain feels so right for now – something to jazz up your daily Zoom look and throw on with pretty much anything for a dose of laid-back bling. This style by Laura Lombardi is just the ticket and also scores high on the sustainability values-ometer. Melding her New York background with her Italian heritage, Lombardi’s aesthetic combines her fine arts background – rooted in sculpture and mixed media assemblage – with the use of recycled materials and found objects, creating pieces that translate concepts of memory and purpose into a highly desirable collection of necklaces, rings, hoop earrings and more. Gold Calle Necklace, £205, available from ssense.com⁠

As wild swimmers will know, just the sight and sound of lakes, seas and rivers can release a flood of neurochemicals to the brain, instilling a sense of calm and wellbeing – and bathing in them has even more of a positive effect. Northern Ireland’s beautiful Finn Lough resort sits on the banks of the serene and swimmable Lough Erne on the Donegal/Fermanagh border, with eight lakeside villas, seven transparent bubble pods and a brand-new geodesic dome launching in August. Christened the Eden Dome, this super-bubble will house a reed-filtered rainwater pool and nine rooms, each with a living wall, transparent ceiling in the bathroom to showcase the night sky, and an all-important telescope. But if you want to sleep fully under the stars, book the Forest or Premium Bubbles with their underfloor heating, thick duvets, 360-degree views and bedside heat-boost button for extra blasts of warmth on chilly nights. 

You can go kayaking, sign up for yoga sessions in the Waterside Dome, or book out the lakeside Forest Spa for a private two-hour spa trail, walking the woodland pathway between the Finnish sauna, steam room, massage cabin and floatarium before bracing yourself for an endorphin-boosting dip in the Lough. 

On the sustainability front, the resort uses solar power, metal straws, recyclable water bottles and aqua shoes, upcycled gin bottles as toiletry containers, and they forage and grow as much of the restaurant food as possible. 

If you have time for slow travel, take the ferry from Liverpool or Cairnryan (west Scotland) to Belfast, hire an electric car, and drive the scenic route there past lakes, mountains and pretty villages – detouring for the myriad Game of Thrones locations.

We’re enjoying a long Easter weekend of relaxing and recharging at Calendar, and feeling suitably inspired by this image created by digital studio @teaaalexis – as chosen by our Design Director Lisa Rahman. ⁠

Stripes? Tick. Mid-weight knit? Yes please. French-chic vibes? Mais oui! When a sweater looks this good *and* it’s created with sustainable values at its core, we think it’s pretty much knit nirvana. Enter: Paradis Perdus – a luxury knitwear brand born out of the desire to create beautiful items that don’t take a heavy toll on the planet, helmed by a collective of French fashion-industry veterans. Each piece is lovingly made from 100% recycled yarns and subject to verifications from the global Recycled Claim Standard and REMOkey, as well as a series of production initiatives – Paradis Perdus excludes buttons from its collections because it can’t currently source 100% recyclable ones. Living proof that a brand can be thoughtful, sustainable and oh-so desirable, all wrapped up in a collection of beautiful knits to love and wear on repeat.

The perfect trench is an item that is never going to go out of style – something you can throw on over anything, come rain or shine, and immediately makes you feel pulled together and ready for the day ahead. Here’s our Calendar edit of some of our favourite options out there – from future-heirloom buy to pre-loved and rental, all with a conscious-fashion focus. So, whichever style you choose, rest assured you’re guaranteed to look your best whatever the weather. ⁠⁠

100 years in business means you’re doing something right, right? Weleda is much loved for its ethical and sustainable practices that have become benchmarks for the industry globally, but also for its accessible (read affordable and attainable) range of everything to make a body feel and look better. And over its century in business, the brand has amassed a global following of famous fans including Adele, Julia Roberts, Rihanna and Victoria Beckham. 

Weleda’s best-known product, Skin Food, is sold every five seconds somewhere in the world and has spawned a namesake range that includes Body Butter, Lip Balm and a ‘Light’ version for those who find the original too rich. However, for many women, their first touch of Weleda is during pregnancy; the brand’s Calendula range leads the way in natural baby care, and pregnancy is often cited as their ‘gateway to organic’. 

Now, a new product line brings the brand firmly into the new era. Its key ingredient, prickly pear cactus, is nature’s answer to hydrating hyaluronic acid, which increases moisture levels in the skin and helps to protect the skin barrier (beauty’s latest obsession). The prickly pear is sourced via an ethical partnership in Mexico under Weleda’s leadership programme, The Union for Ethical BioTrade – a globally recognised standard for sustainable sourcing to ensure that biodiversity is conserved and all supply-chain partners are treated equitably and paid fairly. 

The range features a Facial Cream and Lotion, £14.95 each, a rollerball applicator Eye Gel, £14.95, and a Facial Mist, £16.95. All packaging in the range is either recyclable through local kerbside collection schemes or through Weleda’s partnership with TerraCycle®. weleda.co.uk

We’re delighted to welcome the amazing Kenya Hunt, deputy editor at Grazia UK and author of ‘Girl’, as our April guest in our Calendar ‘Love Forever’ series. Kenya is wearing a pair of crystal-embellished shoes by Miu Miu and says:

“I got married in these Miu Miu shoes and have worn them to countless dinners and parties, and even an Emmy Award ceremony. I popped a crystal off and had them repaired in Rome. They have been with me through a lot of good times – and now a pandemic! And I can’t wait to wear them out again.”

What piece do you have in your wardrobe that you’ve had and will love forever? We’d love to hear your wardrobe stories.

When a handbag is as fabulous as this tri-fold Celine classic from the Phoebe Philo era, then it’s guaranteed to become a forever piece that will never go out of style. We found this beauty on the Resellfridges platform, which was launched last year by Selfridges as part of its Project Earth initiative – an in-store and online offering of beautifully curated pre-loved items with impeccable fashion credentials, and you can also sell on there, too. Circular fashion, forever buys – what’s not to ‘pre-love?!’⁠⁠

We’re all looking at ways to make our homes more eco-friendly and sustainable, and shopping vintage is one way to do that. But while we love the idea of unearthing that perfect mid-century-modern table or 1970s lamp at a flea market or quaint little antiques store, occasionally it’s nice when someone else does the hard work for us. Enter Selency (formerly known as Brocante Lab and founded in 2014). The concept is simple, and a way for everyone to buy and sell beautiful and unique items of second-hand furniture and décor. Professional dealers and private sellers can add their pieces to the site and buyers simply browse for what they’re looking for. Selency works as an intermediary, thus ensuring you’re buying from trusted sellers and that everything on the site has been checked and given the Selency stamp of approval. They’ve also just launched an upcycled textile collection, made from linen off-cuts from design studio Lelièvre Paris and made by Mode Estime, a sewing collective that works to rehabilitate ex-offenders into society. Home is where the heart is.

Sunday Mood. It’s all about finding the magic where you are right now.⁠

Referring to Bethany Williams as simply a fashion designer doesn’t feel like it comes close to doing her justice. True, she has run her award-winning eponymous label since 2017, conjuring thoughtfully crafted, colourful, playful and genuinely joyful clothes, initially for men but now, more fluidly, for whoever wants to wear them. But Williams is a pioneer, setting the blueprint for how a modern fashion brand can operate with its conscience intact: making her clothes from recycled and deadstock fabric, working with social enterprises like Making for Change, and using her platform to support and shout about a charity each season; for SS21, that’s the Magpie Project – a community initiative providing help to parents and children under five at risk of homelessness. She even found time in April last year to join forces with Phoebe English, Holly Fulton and Cozette McCreery to set up the Emergency Designer Network, helping to make PPE for the NHS. Her passion – not to mention her work ethic – is truly inspiring.⁠⁠

If that all feels a bit heavyweight, make no mistake: her clothes, from their relaxed, sporty silhouettes to the vibrant prints designed in collaboration with like-minded artists, are more than capable of holding their own in your wardrobe. But it’s the stories behind them that really set them apart. Take her SS21 Book Bags: they’re woven from recycled children’s books that would have otherwise been pulped, at San Patrignano – a drug rehabilitation centre in Italy that teaches a craft to every patient in recovery. “Having something discarded and giving it time and making it beautiful, adding value, and heritage, history and craft – that’s what I’m really interested in,” says Williams. “And, also, the social and environmental side, being able to use fashion as a tool for expressing ideas and tangible change-making through our supply chain.”⁠⁠

&Daughter is a label we love at Calendar for many reasons. With an emphasis on simple, thoughtful designs and a knitwear focus, the slow fashion brand’s beautifully crafted pieces are created by expert makers in the UK and Ireland and have a homespun feel to wear and love on repeat. &Daughter has also recently introduced a dress line to its offering, which hits just the right note of pretty but is simple enough for everyday pursuits. The pieces can be dressed up or down depending on your mood, and are guaranteed to be with you for the long haul. ⁠

There is so much to love about this bag by Stella McCartney. Made from croc-effect vegan leather and with a chunky chain hardware detail, it’s built to last for the long term, while the pleasing boxy shape is spacious enough to hold all your essentials. Pragmatic chic with conscious credentials – it’s a resounding yes from us. ⁠

£1035, available from net-a-porter.com⁠

Red Lipstick Reset. Nothing beats a red lip for maxing out those mask-free moments. These picks have passed Calendar’s ‘Responsible Beauty Remit’, featuring – variously – recyclable or refillable packaging, cleaner formulations, philanthropic initiatives and sustainable values. International makeup artist Wendy Rowe says: “Red lipstick feels right this month for all sorts of reasons. It’s a celebration of being alive and ready for people to see each other as our world starts to open up. Spring is also a time of optimism – and time for you to bloom again.” Just swipe and smile.⁠⁠

After its first collection was picked up by Matches Fashion and sold out in a day, new fashion label Chopova Lowena has been a runaway success ever since. The dreamchild of Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena, who met while studying at London’s Central Saint Martins, their designs merge their respective Bulgarian and London heritages, resulting in a compelling juxtaposition of traditional folkloric techniques and british tailoring codes. Sustainable practices are also at the heart of their design process, and these are clothes that more than meet our Calendar seal of approval. Pieces to cherish, wear forever and hand down to the next generation. Belted checked-taffeta A-line midi dress, £1525, available from matchesfashion.com

We’re delighted to introduce Stina Hasan, a.k.a The Hackney Gardner, as our guest editor this month. A passionate lover and expert of all things garden-related, Stina shares her top April gardening tips here as well as her springtime tablescaping for two.

Sow annual flower seeds

April is the perfect time to sow annuals like cosmos, nicotiana, rudbeckia and zinnia. The higher light levels mean that seedlings grow fast and strong. Keep them inside on a windowsill until the risk of frost has passed, then plant them out in the garden. And if you haven’t got Sweet Peas on the go already, you can sow them outdoors now in the spot where you want them to grow. 

Stake perennials

The key to stopping tall perennials from falling over later in the season is to stake them properly now, before they put on too much growth. You can use shop-bought metal frames, or create a simple grid with garden string tied between bamboo canes. Let the plants grow up through the supports and the stakes will be completely hidden in just a few weeks.

Enjoy tulip season

April is peak tulip time and their beauty is truly spectacular – make sure to fully enjoy them while they last. It can seem a bit scary to cut tulips from the garden, but even a single stem in a vase indoors brings joy. If you don’t have tulips this year but would like to add some to your garden, now is the time to look at which ones other people are growing and make notes of your favourites. Tulips have become real must-have items and the best varieties sell out in a flash, so it helps to be ready with your shopping list.

If you have spent lockdown cooped up in an urban flat with just parks for greenery, you are no doubt longing to soak up some serious nature. In the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Loire Valley, with its fairy-tale chateaux, is an arty eco hideaway set in 300 hectares of forest. Loire Valley Lodges is the passion project of Parisian Anne Caroline Frey, who believes so much in the healing power of trees that she had 18 treehouse lodges built, each with massive windows for maximum exposure to the therapeutic sights and sounds of the woods. Sensitively constructed from the native Douglas fir, oak and chestnut trees, the lodges are perched on four-metre stilts to create a nest-like retreat. There are no TVs or WiFi, and just a walkie-talkie for room service, but you’ll find hotel amenities like the reception, bar, restaurant, plus a library devoted to books on art and trees, all in the original farmhouse. Each lodge was designed by a different artist (Frey spent 10 years in the contemporary art scene in Paris), including one dedicated to Serge Gainsbourg, with a turntable, speakers and a stack of vinyl, and another to the 1960s, complete with a vintage ‘egg’ chair and portrait of Mick Jagger.⁠

The art continues in the grounds with sculptures and installations: a huge ‘Lost Dog’, a multi-coloured cow and a (slightly triggering) giant ant. When you’re not admiring these, you can try forest bathing, book a massage with tree-essence oil, swim in the pool, or just listen to birdsong on your terrace with a chilled glass of Sancerre.   ⁠

Today we’re celebrating the start of Fashion Revolution Week and Earth Day 2021 with Arizona Muse, a woman who inspires us here at Calendar. Model-turned-sustainability-consultant, as well as sitting on the board at The Sustainable Angle and contributing to Fashion Revolution, Arizona uses her social platforms as a tool to educate her followers on environmental and social sustainability, and serves as a perfect example of how we can still have a love of fashion and design while striving for a more sustainable future.

The theme of this year’s Fashion Revolution campaign is #WhoMadeMyFabric? Throughout the week we’ll be sharing ideas on our IG stories on different ways you can engage with fashioning the future – from sewing workshops to rental and mending apps. As Arizona says, “We should treat every day like Earth Day”. We couldn’t agree more.

Exploring the world of vintage fashion can take many forms – from bagging that fun find on eBay or Depop, to unearthing the bag of your dreams on your favourite pre-loved platform. And then there’s a whole other level of vintage – call it ‘haute vintage’, which defines those pieces steeped in fashion history and provenance, that have been lovingly archived over the decades and curated with expertise and passion. Mon Vintage most definitely sits in this category. Founded by Marie Blanchet, former CEO of William Vintage and head of the vintage category at Vestiaire Collective, Blanchet’s impeccable eye and wealth of knowledge has resulted in a collection of one-of-a- kind pieces from storied brands including Comme des Garçons, Maison Martin Margiela, Chanel and Alaïa. This John Galliano Mint Beaded Floor Length Gown, circa 2000 gown is just one example, as well as her most recent collaboration with The Row, which illustrates perfectly that these pieces of fashion history are also intended to be worn as well as appreciated for their extraordinary artistry and beauty. ⁠⁠

Bay Garnett started shopping sustainably by instinct long before it became a conscious choice. Ever since she was a teenager growing up in Somerset, the stylist has spurned the homogenous collections of big-name fashion brands in favour of the individuality that was offered up by happily rummaging through charity shops and thrift stores for one-off finds and statement-making treasures. And second-hand clothes haven’t just been the lynchpin of her wardrobe – they’ve shaped her career, too, from spurring her to co-found punk-spirited, anti-fashion zine Cheap Date in the 1997, through to her current work as a Creative Consultant for Oxfam. Even her first, now-iconic shoot for Vogue was a charity shop-themed affair, starring Kate Moss wearing clothes that Garnett had found by scouring her favourite London charity shops, Portobello Road market and New York thrift stores.⁠⁠

…⁠⁠

For Garnett, clothes are about self-expression and deeply personal storytelling. That’s why she started her podcast, This Old Thing, where she talks to inspiring, unswervingly stylish women like Chloë Sevigny and Rachel Weisz about their relationships with their most-loved clothes. And, while it started as a spirited, rebellious act of defiance against the fashion system, Garnett’s affinity with pre-loved pieces has gradually evolved into a passion for sustainability. “Buying clothes that were old, that had already existed, always felt a bit like going off grid from the system of commerce and that, at some level, related to sustainability, although it became a very articulated thought about that gradually,” she says. “But then I started working with Oxfam and it really hit home that selling clothes can be a genuine force for good, and that’s what interests me.” ⁠⁠

Happy Earth Day 2021. As well as taking a collective moment to reflect on the bigger picture and what steps we need to take to restore and preserve our planet, it’s also important not to lose sight of our individual journeys, celebrate the small wins, and remember that each and every one of us has agency and that every action counts. Maybe this was the year that you switched to a plant-based diet, started buying beauty refills or bought your first pre-loved piece? Looking ahead, we encourage you to consider which lifestyle changes you can commit to over the next 12 months (and beyond). It could be that you offset your carbon when you next go on holiday. If you love new trends and need a fashion fix, maybe this is the year you try rental? Or how about pledging to repair a couple of pieces in your wardrobe every season, rather than buying a replacement? Any change is a positive step; even if it seems like it won’t make a difference, it will. Our mission at Calendar Magazine is to help you on that journey – let us know the ways you are planning on making a change this year. We would love to hear from you. ⁠

We’re delighted to have Daisy Hoppen, founder of DH-PR, as our April guest in our ‘Love Forever’ series.⁠⁠

Daisy is wearing a mini skirt by Junya Watanabe and says: “Given that 2020 was the year of the tracksuit, I am unsure how I ended up wearing a Junya Watanabe mini skirt on repeat – but there was something so at odds with what everyone was meant to be wearing, it just felt right. It is slightly indecent how short it is and reminds me of the belt mini skirts from the ’90s. I know it’s a piece I will love and have forever.”⁠⁠

What piece do you have in your wardrobe that you love and know will have forever? We’d love to hear your wardrobe stories. ⁠⁠

The gorgeous eco resort Cocolia in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, opened just at the end of 2019, so the global lockdown totally scuppered its launch plans. Hidden away in a tangle of vines, cacti and medicinal plants, the resort’s nine, well spaced out bungalows are positioned above Playa Mermejita beach. Using sandy-coloured local stone, indigenous mahogany and Huanacaxtle wood, architects Septiembre Arquitectura designed the clean, angular lines and geometric shapes of the buildings to contrast with the wild, jungly surroundings. Overlooking an ancient site of the Mixteca people, bungalow doors slide back to reveal views of the ocean and Punta Cometa, a long finger of strangely shaped rock. The stone formations here have evolved in such a way that, at the winter solstice – which attracts a lot of shamans – the sun can be seen rising through a circular rock opening just as the full moon sets. If you’re after a spiritual moment, you are in the right place. ⁠

Eco-wise, Cocolia runs on solar energy, and rainwater is controlled to prevent erosion and recycled for irrigating the citrus, papaya and banana trees. Swim in the saltwater pool, swing by the wellness palapa and fill up in the restaurant on organic fruit, veg and freshly caught bonito or dorado. Surfers will know that Playa Mermejita is one of the best in Mexico for breaks, and Attenborough-types will be aware that you can spot whales here from December through to April.⁠

Carbon offsetting: very simplistically, the theory behind the UN’s Trillion Trees project is that the planet has space for 1.2 trillion more trees, and if we plant those we could reverse the effects of global warming and rebalance the earth. Trees4Travel was founded by Nico and Elkie Nicholas – she, a former fashion designer, and he with a background in tech – to help people offset their carbon footprints by planting trees. It’s very user friendly; you enter your trip details and the calculator tells you how many trees you can plant at £3 a pop, and they do it all for you.⁠

Tokyo-based artist Yayoi Kusama returns to Tate Modern, London this spring – and we’ve been eagerly waiting for this postponed exhibition for over a year. We can’t wait to step into one of her famous infinity mirrored rooms and disappear in a sea of polka dots, colour and pattern repetition. Full details of reopening dates to be announced by @tate very soon.

If ever there was a dress to lure you out of your much-worn loungewear and elasticated waistbands, then one of the beautifully feminine, irresistibly bold creations from Kenyan designer Anyango Mpinga might just do the trick. Look past the romantic flourishes and you’ll see they have their roots in easy androgyny; Mpinga starts every collection riffing on a white shirt and everything else – from the bohemian shapes and Victoriana details to the vibrant, colourful prints – evolves from there. “I’m African in terms of my influences,” says Mpinga. “I’m a storyteller and I use my textiles as a way to tell my story and connect people to my culture in a way that is modern.”⁠

A former journalist and scriptwriter, Mpinga started out designing clothes for herself, first taking thrift-store finds to her tailor to have them altered and adjusted, then making things from scratch that were so desirable that her friends started putting orders in. She started the label formally in 2015 with social and environmental responsibility built in; her size-inclusive collections are made from organic or upcycled fabrics and non-toxic dyes and she runs a non-profit, Free As A Human, alongside the label, supporting female survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. “At the end of the day you want to make a sustainable dress, but it has to be a sustainable dress that people want to wear, otherwise what’s the point?” she says. “People care about sustainability but they want to spend money on something that’s quality, something that’s aesthetically pleasing and that lasts.”⁠

Brazilian born designer Vanda Jacintho’s work is always underscored with sustainable credentials from her commitment to working with local artisans to using ethically grown materials including reusable resins and sustainably sourced mahogany. This necklace from her latest collection, inspired by French polymath Jean Cocteau, is made using a natural oxidation process using potato chips and vinegar – and feels like the perfect forever statement piece to wear with everything from a simple t-shirt to an evening tux. An object of desire for all the right reasons.

Francisco Costa’s tenure at Calvin Klein gave the world some clues as to what was important to him: clean minimalism, quiet luxury. Those codes have been carried through to his brand, Costa Brazil – one of the leaders in the fast-growing ethically sourced, clean- and green-leaning beauty and lifestyle category. ⁠

Vegan, cruelty-free, environmentally responsible and sustainably sourced, the minimal lineup includes Kaya Anti-Aging Face Oil, £115; Kaya Jungle Firming Body Oil, £50; Body Cream, £50; Bath Salts, £76; Resina de Breu, £135, an aromatic burnable resin used traditionally in ceremonies to purify and harmonise; and Vela Candle, £155, available at cultbeauty.com.⁠

The range features ingredients native to Brazil, such as breu resin, cacay and Sapucaia tree oil, a trinity of ingredients known as the Jungle Complex, sourced from suppliers in former Brazilian conflict zones through a partnership with Conservation International.⁠⁠

The enticing blend of potent plant ingredients in Kaya Anti-Aging Face Oil, housed in its modernist bottle, is irresistible. Enjoy superfood-for-skin Sapucaia (kaya) with its nourishing and restorative properties; retinol-rich cacay (the plant is part of Amazonian biodiversity) that’s also big on antioxidants and omegas, and the calming aroma of breu (with additional antimicrobial properties) in a silken base of babassu, baobab and brazil nut oils. ⁠

As we begin to plan our post covid re-entry wardrobes and think about how we want to dress for the new IRL chapter ahead, one thing is clear; we want timeless pieces that seamlessly adapt to the multifaceted demands of our everyday lives and also have longevity and a seasonless approach. Enter Tove, founded by seasoned fashion industry players Camille Perry and Holly Wright, in 2019, the direct to consumer brand boasts a loyal and fast growing customer base, as well as a partnership with Net-a-Porter – and for good reason. The collection of fluid, thoughtfully designed pieces with sustainable credentials including the use of organic and recycled fabrics is underscored with an unfussy feminine aesthetic, resulting in a wardrobe of forever capsule pieces you can wear to meetings, social events and throw in your case for vacation, season after season with effortless ease. ⁠⁠

Thank you for being part of our April journey and we’re signing off the issue with these beautiful words from Alber Elbaz – a designer and man who we loved at Calendar. Thank you Alber for the endless joy, beauty, and creativity you brought to our world. You will be greatly missed. ⁠⁠
