Drum roll, please
DIOR has chosen the gardens of Drummond Castle, Perthshire, for its next sumptuous fashion show to present the cruise 2025 line. In 1947, an ensemble was named Écosse and Christian Dior hosted a ball at Gleneagles to showcase the spring/summer collection of 1955. This show will draw on the past-and-present passion for the Highlands, set against the backdrop of the castle and gardens (above), which date back to 1630. Watch the show live on June 3 at www.dior.com
Luxury under £25
SUNSHINE SUNSHINE equals long lunches accompanied by lots of ice-cold wine. To mitigate the dreaded hangover (sometimes from only one glass, which seems unfair), these Rebound tablets are your knight in shining armour. Devised by a clever nutritionist, these feature only natural, clean and active ingredients to support detoxification, energy, mood and sleep. Pop some before bed, then more the next morning, and feel very smug indeed (www.reboundrecovery.co).
City boys
ESTEEMED gentleman’s outfitter Oliver Brown has opened a new shop in the heart of the City (66–67, Cornhill, EC3, elegantly sandwiched between the Royal Exchange and Leadenhall Market), perfect for time-poor chaps looking for a beautiful suit, shirt or accessory for a summer event. The shop has a hire service and made-to-measure and, as the official Top Hat Licensee for Royal Ascot, some of its signature antique silk top hats on show, too. In celebration of the opening, the outfitter has launched this limited-edition dinner jacket (right) made from bamboo cloth, which is soft and breathable—ideal for summer events. £695 (020–7259 9494; www.oliverbrown.org.uk).
Table manners
TABLEAU is a one-of-a-kind clothing business based in Maldon, Essex (of Maldon Salt fame), and I have totally fallen for its concept of sourcing beautiful vintage table linen
