Like all self-respecting north London Jewish girls, my love of fashion was inherited. My weekends as a child were not spent in parks or softplay centres, but at Brent X and I was oh so young when I learnt about the thrill of a good bargain. Before he retired my grandpa Sam ran a jewellery business and had an office behind the flagship Top Shop on Oxford Street. He sold costume jewellery to big chains, including Biba, the “Top Shop of the 1960s and 1970s”. My sister and I would spend hours dressing up and playing with his leftover stock. So while I don’t profess to be an expert, I do love fashion and how good it can make people feel. While the world, particularly now, is dark and serious, it can be a welcome escape.

My plans for this page are simple, I want to bring you style for any age group and shine a light on some of our own fashion icons – of which we are a community of many.

To start things off, here are a few things I can’t live without – staple items for any wardrobe. They include some well-known brands as well as some independent ones run by female-led businesses I’m lucky enough to know personally.
