Bimba Y Lola and Harry Freegard have come together to celebrate all kinds of love this Valentine’s Day, with this new, Art Brut-esque collaboration.

The Spanish brand, known for its bold prints and use of vibrant colour, has never been afraid of the Avant-Garde and plays a large role in Spain’s fashion scene with it’s affordable prices and diversity. So it makes sense for the label to get together with such a force as Harry Freegard in this genderless jewellry collection. Among some simpler pieces in the campaign are more maximalist earrings and necklaces, composed of abstract drawings and bedazzled dolls, ringing true to Freegard’s far out designs.

The up and coming artist and designer, known also by the handle Harrie Brashaw, has taken the avant-garde fashion scene by storm in recent years with his boisterous, comical and queer-centric campaigns and designs, much inspired by Art Brut, Dada and the raucousness of Central Saint Martins fashion design graduates before him. This partnership is just one of his growing portfolio, but it’s significant with its scale and its embrace of universal love.

The site’s message reads: ‘This is the century of universal love. Free from boundaries of any kind. To celebrate it, spread it, and enjoy it, we’ve collaborated with Harry Freegard, aka Harrie Bradshaw. The British polymath is in charge of this witty and funny campaign featuring our Outsider, Alphabet and Ring collections. Scroll down to fall in love with our pieces and his work!’ showing it’s aim to recognise all relationships, as youthful brands start to unravel heteronormativity in fashion and art.

The campaign sports Harry’s witty art and graphics, reminiscent of Dadaism, to promote the pieces, and uses diverse models to show the collection’s all-inclusive aim, while grasping the essence of Valentine’s day with it’s lovey-dovey imagery.

In a conversation with Dazed, Freegard said that the collection and campaign were

“All about love, kissing, and crushing, and the post-ironic glamour that is laced within the genius tradition of Valentine’s.”

]]> Sometimes it’s difficult to find the perfect valentine’s gift for the man in your life, when dinners, experiences and days out are all out of the question with lockdown. We’ve come up with some creative and trendy gifts to get him for valentines day 2021. 

Aftershave

Aftershave always makes a great Valentine’s day gift, and especially with a classic or a great cult favourite like Black Orchid, a full and sensual fragrance with tones of bergamot and vanilla, it’ll always be appreciated.

Jewellery

Jewellery is a great option for a romantic present. Whether an engraved bracelet or a silver ring, there’s something quite permanent and memorable about jewellery, especially if it’s made to last. And as men’s fashion icons such as Harry Styles show the importance of accessorizing, now is a great time for gifting men’s jewellery.

A Wallet

Why not get him a designer wallet or card case this Valentine’s day? Leather goods make great men’s gifts for any occasion and you could even step up the romance of the gift a little with an engravement or a polaroid picture slipped inside.

A Beanie

While the weather is still cold, warm branded beanies are a great idea for Valentine’s day, even if the only reason to leave the house is for a walk.

Trainers

What guy doesn’t love a pair of trainers? With nights out now-a-days consisting of late night trips to the shops and daily walks, a pair of trainers are ideal.

Tracksuits

For nights when all you’ve got to do is cuddle on the sofa and watch a film, getting him a hoodie is all he needs. Its also the perfect gift for you to ‘temporary’ borrow.

]]> Valentine’s day is coming up and with lockdown preventing dinner dates and luxury weekend getaways, you might be struggling with gift ideas for that special woman in your life. Well we’ve got you covered with the following ideas that will keep the day romantic no matter the situation.

And if, like a lot of us, you’ve struggled with relationships and dating during the pandemic, we’ve got some ideas to help you treat yourself, because after the past year you’ve had, you deserve some TLC.

Self-care Hamper

Self care hampers are a great way to treat yourself or someone else on Valentines day. Especially with the stress of the last year, relaxation and self care is much needed and any opportunity for this should be sprung on. Whether you make a personalised hamper, or find the perfect selection premade, like this energising gift set from Rituals, a bit of a pamper will always go down well.

Bouquet of Roses

Delivered roses are a romantic classic, and are bound to be popular this year with many couples apart because of isolation. This one is more a gift for someone else than yourself, as there’ll be no lonely awkward valentine’s day in the office this year.

A Ring

Rings are another classic gift for valentines day, but don’t worry, we aren’t expecting you to propose: Gucci have some beautiful rings that say romance and passion without the risk of a false proposal. You can even get it gift wrapped in Gucci’s classic luxury packaging. It would be a great gift to spoil yourself with as well.

Skincare

Another brilliant valentines day gift for yourself is a good skin care session. Treat yourself to a facial, grab a glass of wine and binge watch Sex And The City this Valentine’s Day, it’s the best and bougiest way to spend it this year.

Loungewear

Treating yourself or your girlfriend to some loungewear is another great idea for a valentine’s day present in the current climate. Most of us are spending all our time in comfy clothes whether working or relaxing during isolation, so new luxury loungewear is where it’s at this February 14th.

Coffee Table Books

We all love a good coffee table book – fashionable, aesthetically pleasing and an interesting read. It’s a great idea for a gift for a girlfriend, showing you know her interests in art, design, fashion or film as there are so many topics to choose from with coffee table books. It’s always a great gift for yourself too, as a nice addition to your home and your reading list. We love this Chanel Catwalk Collections book – a best-selling portfolio of Chanel’s greatest collections, complete with over 1450 detailed illustrations

Lipstick Sets

Lipstick has always had a link with Valentine’s Day – red lips, the kiss stain – and it’s often an event we buy lipstick for, something cosmetic brands have understood, dedicating shades of red to the occasion. Whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting to the one you love, a luxury lipstick gift set is never a wrong move for such an occasion.

Perfume

Perfume is a brilliant gift for Valentine’s day – it’s romantic and memorable, and with more beautiful bottles and scents than ever, there are plenty of great fragrances to choose from for your valentine this year. Like everyone, we love the KKW fragrance Crystal Violet Musk: with a minimal crystal shaped bottle, and lush tones of lavender, violet and bergamot, it’s a sweet present for the day.

Lingerie

Whatever your situation this february 14th, there’s nothing like a sexy set of lingerie to be worn and appreciated on the day for love and affection. You could even be buying solely for yourself this year, wearing it for your own enjoyment and appreciation. Much like lipstick, brands have sales and sections dedicated to the special day so you can find the best seductive set for yourself or your partner.

Nail Varnish

With nail salons closed for the moment, a good gift idea is an expensive, glossy nail varnish like this Christian Louboutin one. High end nail varnishes like this always deliver a salon grade manicure from home and with beautiful packaging and vibrant shades, it’s a great gift for the current climate, or a perfect purchase for yourself.

The humanitarian that you are Aquarius, the world needs your brand of healing. This comes from a deep sense of compassion for others, animals and the planet as a whole. Cooking and looking into natural foods and herbs is a creative source of knowledge you could be drawn to. Floristry may be another way of generating happiness. Again fitting in with your natural expression of beauty, that can also put a smile on anyone’s face.
