Check Mate: How Gingham Became the Print of Summer 2025
Gingham – the cooler, more laid-back cousin of plaid – makes its comeback every summer, just as its sturdier counterpart returns to storage with the knits and overcoats. Breezy and nostalgic, it's the kind of print you instinctively pack for a tropical escape or a last-minute weekend away. Long associated with picnic blankets and vintage tablecloths, gingham's fashion footprint is far more nuanced. Season after season, designers breathe new life into the print – reworking it into structured dresses, crisp co–ords, and soft separates in neutral tones and unexpected cuts. In 2025 alone, the Frankies Bikinis x Bella Hadid and GAP x Dôen collaborations put gingham front and centre in dreamy summer dresses. Labels like Sandy Liang, Reformation, Longchamp, Meshki, and Marni are also getting behind the checkered print, offering skirts, trousers, and tops that feel refreshingly grown-up. Recently spotted on Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, and Sarah Jessica Parker, gingham has officially moved beyond nostalgic and into celebrity–certified cool. Never costume-y, always current – it keeps things interesting without trying too hard. And, of course, the cultural archive runs deep. Judy Garland's blue gingham pinafore in The Wizard of Oz practically wrote the rulebook. Princess Diana gave it off–duty polish in bright–pink gingham capris and ballet flats. Margot Robbie immortalised the pastel version in Barbie . And recently, Sabrina Carpenter sealed the deal, wearing a blue gingham co–ord in her Manchild music video – cementing its status as an official 2025 staple. This season, the check is everywhere again – but styled in a way that feels grown–up and ready for real life. Whether you go all–in with a matching set or keep it subtle with just one piece, consider it the unofficial uniform of 'Summer 2025'. A guide to wearing gingham now For Aparna Chandra, Co–Creative Director of Nicobar, an Indian label that has quietly championed gingham since its inception, the appeal lies in its consistency. 'Gingham isn't trending in 2025 because it's new – it's resonating because it's real. Honest. Familiar. At Nicobar, it's always felt like a natural fit: not seasonal, but perennial. We come back to it not for novelty, but for its quiet ease and versatility. Over the years, we have used gingham both subtly and centrally – it breaks up prints, softens boldness, and adds detail even as a trim. Structured but never stiff, it brings balance and a kind of visual grounding that works across silhouettes. Gingham isn't a trend – it's part of our fabric. Season after season, it lives on in the pieces we make: thoughtful, timeless, and built to last.' The summer dress, reimagined

Summer Sparkle: The Jewellery Collections On Our Radar
There's no denying it. Jewellery just looks better against sun-kissed skin, tousled beach hair, and the soft waft of warm air caressing haute metals. A touch of gold, a sprinkle of diamond, a flash of ruby to set it all off. With summer comes a season of moments—weddings, alfresco dinners, or simply sitting outside, musing on the wonder of it all. Naturally, we want you to look the part, so we've gathered the most exciting jewellery launches and collections to dazzle your nights and add some sheen to your days. Summer doesn't last forever. Let's make sure we light it up. Aligned and adorned, all chakra's in place With wedding season officially among us, the stars align so to speak, as Noor Fares also enters her wedding era. Naturally, she's brought the chakras along for the ride. Anahata , named after the heart chakra, is an 11-piece collection of engagement rings and eternity bands that exude serenity. 'I launched the Anahata rings to coincide with my own 10th wedding anniversary,' Fares shares, adding a personal touch to the cosmic collection. True to her signature style, the designs feature eye emblems, moon eclipses and rainbow sapphires, weaving sacred geometry into wedding bands that are both symbolic and breathtaking. Each stone is sustainably sourced and spiritually charged, with diamonds at the forefront, representing love, clarity and strength. 'The special touches of my wedding day inspired me to create this collection. I wanted to transform those intimate details into timeless pieces that can be worn every day.' Now, who wouldn't want a little of that magic woven into their own nuptials? Ajna Rainbow Band AED 13,823 Nirvana Rainbow Band AED 18,850 Spiral i nto control Diamonds have long shed their formality. But leave it to Delfina Delettrez to twist them into a lateral conversation with nature. Curlicues, coils, snails, and seashells — the Loop collection takes a turn for the spectacular. 'I like to imagine the woman wearing these pieces feeling deeply feminine, wrapped in soft, fluid forms that embrace her with grace,' explains Delettrez from her studio in Rome. Known for her surrealist approach to jewellery and a boutique that doubles as a cabinet of curiosities, Delfina Delettrez revisits classic pieces—diamond-studded tennis bracelets and drop earrings—deconstructs them and reintroduces them as spiraling, supple creations. In the Loop collection, a heroic necklace hugs the collarbone in an astral constellation of diamonds, while cocktail rings curl inward in a glittering vortex. Earrings are looped around themselves, now unfurling with gold as part of a new formation. 'It's a delicate balance between softness and statement, between subtle beauty and magnetic presence…In every motion, the wearer becomes the source of a luminous, ever-shifting aura' she adds. Part organic, part otherworldly, Delfina's Loop curios are, quite literally, out of this world. Imagine them thrown on casually with jeans and a white tee, or as the centrepiece of an evening gown. Either way, divine. Loop Necklace AED 261,796 Luck in numbers Chanel loyalists are in for a quiet thrill. Number 5 — Chanel's forever muse. Her lucky number, the name of the perfume, the timing of the shows, and the secret locked in the 2.55 clasp. Now, that iconic numeral lends its graphic weight to a new fine jewellery collection. Not a throwback. Not a tribute. Just Chanel doing what it does best: making the familiar feel entirely new.

Sofia Richie Grainge's Holiday Wardrobe Centers Some Key Summer Accessories
As the long-hailed queen of quiet luxury, Sofia Richie Grainge knows her way around a key accessory to elevate any minimal look. Last week, we saw Richie Grainge bring her considered style sensibilities to Monaco for a friend's wedding, modeling the perfect black tie wedding attire. She opted for an azure silk georgette Schiaparelli dress in a brilliant blue, fastened with a gold clasp at the neck and accessorised to boot: Gold embellished black sandals, opulent chunky earrings, a gold Tiffany & Co. bone cuff by Elsa Peretti, and to finish, a petite Hermès Kelly Cut bag. And as it turns out, Richie Grainge and her husband Elliot Grainge have extended their stay in the South of France, spending quality time with their family at Eden Roc Hotel, a luxury hotel in Cap d'Antibes. As you can expect, Sofia Richie Grainge kept it casual but refined: She wore a red swimsuit with a scoop neck and white piping, with comfy pull-on navy trousers. For accessories, she wore The Row's red and black sandals—the summer shoe of the moment for every it-girl in the know—as well as black oval sunglasses, Tiffany gold bracelets, and a chunky watch. The key piece, though, was her black and white geometric bandana—an easy adornment that acts as a chic sun protectant. It's also so very holiday à la français , recalling the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, or Jane Birkin's summering attire. With summer not yet in full swing, we can surely expect a few months of more delightful, easy replicable details from Richie Grainge—whether summering in the South of France ourselves or otherwise.
