THE VIRAL LUNCH:

Czer

London's favourite caesar wrap is getting a second home. After becoming a viral sensation from its original Mayfair location – complete with queues down the street – Czer is opening a second site in Soho on 22nd August. The six-month residency will land at 87 Brewer Street, serving up the same cult chicken caesar wraps that started it all. Will there be a queue? Almost certainly. Will it be worth it? We expect so.

THE IT-GIRL COLLAB:

Topshop x Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne and Topshop are teaming up again – but this time, she's had a hand in designing the collection. The 16-piece capsule draws on Cara's signature off-duty style and her long-standing connection with the brand, bringing together confident, easy pieces designed to be worn on repeat. Think pinstripe denim tailoring, lived-in jeans, oversized outerwear and effortless co-ords, alongside ribbed vests, long-sleeved tees and open-back tops made for layering. The standout? The ‘Ultimate Cara’ jean, available in black and blue washes, plus an oversized cropped trench and an asymmetric minidress.

THE CAMPAIGN:

Willow x Free People

Free People has found its latest muse. Willow stars in the brand's Fall 2026 campaign, bringing her signature mix of music, individuality and slightly rebellious style to the label's bohemian world. Shot by Zoey Grossman, the campaign was also a creative collaboration, with Willow involved in the styling and selecting of the looks. It’s all romantic lace, delicate textures, structured plaids and unexpected proportions, with the kind of effortless edge that makes you want to overhaul your entire wardrobe.

THE BEAUTY COLLAB:

e.l.f. x Bubble

Two of beauty's biggest disruptors have joined forces – e.l.f. and Bubble have teamed up to create a limited-edition collection of skincare-make-up hybrids, landing exclusively at Boots. Designed around the way beauty fans actually use their products – mixing, layering and cocktailing – the collection includes Drop N' Dunk, a dual-chamber bronzing drop and moisturiser; Glow Talk, a lip balm-meets-lip serum; and Camo Slide, a blush serum infused with hyaluronic acid.

THE NEW OPENING:

Jackie's Counter

Notting Hill has a new neighbourhood hangout – and it's giving NYC. Jackie's Counter, the latest venture from the couple behind local pub The Mall Tavern, has been soft-launching on Kensington Church Street as a self-described ‘neighbourhood luncheonette’. Mornings start with cold brew slushies and breakfast bagels before moving onto Reubens, salt beef sandwiches and tuna melts, with homemade pies, black and white cookies and soft serve for dessert. Coming soon, phase two will see the space transform after dark into a late-night martini and dessert bar. NYC cheesecake and a cold martini? Say less.

THE FESTIVAL:

RALLY

If your idea of a good festival involves discovering your next favourite artist rather than hearing the same five headliners, RALLY should be on your radar. Returning to Southwark Park on 29th August, the independent one-day festival has announced another seriously eclectic line-up, with Blood Orange headlining and co-curating a bill spanning leftfield pop, indie, house and techno. Daniel Avery, Parris, DJ Voices b2b Ciel, James K, Paquita Gordon, Smerz, GENA, keiyaA and Roman Flügel are all set to appear, alongside plenty more. This year's theme, Make Your Reality, focuses on protecting cultural spaces and looking towards what's next – rather than getting stuck in nostalgia.

THE RUNNING LABEL:

Acid Running

Acid Running has just launched its first-ever women’s collection following its summer pop-up at Borough Yards, which is open until the end of August. The cult running label is also heading to Australia later this month before dropping its AW26 collection in September. Expect new silhouettes, bold colours and fresh fabrics, building on the styles already spotted at Paris and New York Fashion Week.
