THE COLLAB: Brittany Bathgate X Aligne
Sustainable brand Aligne has joined forces with influencer Brittany Bathgate to launch a capsule collection of autumn/winter staples, all made with organic cotton, recycled polyester and denim that uses 50% less water in production. Known for her minimalistic sense of style, Brittany’s less-is-more approach is apparent in the edit: “The pieces are a mixture of relaxed and formal tailoring and typical of my style, and the palette is subdued and neutral,” says Brittany. The standout piece is undeniably the Ellen coat, perfect for layering up in style.

THE BOOK: Taste by Stanley Tucci
From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes this memoir of life in and out of the kitchen. Before Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada and The Hunger Games, he grew up in an Italian-American family that spent every night around the table. He shared those meals in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table. Now Taste takes readers beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them – from preparing for and filming foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, to falling in love over dinner.
