2012-10-01



It's the first day of October, which means we've got a whole host of new exhibitions, product launches, trends and must-watch TV shows coming our way. Keep up-to-date with everything that's going on this month with October's Hide & Chic edit. You'll be pleased to know it doesn't feature anything Halloween related, which is quite an achievement...

Chanel's Little Black Jacket: The Little Black Jacket exhibition arrives in London on October 12th. A selection of Karl Lagerfeld's favourite ladies (including Carine, SJP, Elle Fanning and Alexa Chung) posed for exhibition, so hurry down to the Saatchi gallery fast. It's only in town for three weeks!

The "Style to Savour" Campaign at Harrods: Today Harrods launch their exciting new online campaign, Style to Savour. Famed for their food halls, the iconic department store has fused fashion and food together for the month of October. Check out their stunning fashion images, photographed in Ladurée and their other world-class eateries, at harrods.com from today.

The Baroque Trend: The look started on the runways at Balmain and Dolce & Gabbana, and now the great British high street is getting in on the baroque trend. Topshop is currently leading the way, with their body-con printed dress, which gives you the Balmain look for under £40!

Tommy Hilfiger for Breast Health International: Tommy Hilfiger is offering his support to Breast Health International (BHI), with a limited-edition charity tote bag. The navy blue and red handbag goes on sale this month, and £100 from each purchase (the bag retails at £225) will be donated to BHI's Fund for Living. Look out for the accompanying campaign, which stars Charlotte Gainsbourg and was photographed by Drew Barrymore.

Monica Vinader's Scarves: You won't struggle to spot Monica Vinader's designs on the front row at fashion week, and October sees the launch of jewellery designer's scarf collection. The cotton and silk printed scarves will be available to buy in the Scarf Room at Liberty, and in Monica's South Molton street store, later this month. Prices start at £80.

Hide... Sex and the City: Yep, it's time to ditch those DVD boxsets, ladies. It's all about Lena Dunham's Girls now, which makes it's UK debut on Sky Atlantic, in mid-October. There's less Manolo Blahnik (in fact, there aren't any Manolos) but it's refreshingly real and will win you over in no time at all.

Are you excited about all of the upcoming October 2012 launches? Do you plan to watch Girls? And will you visit the Chanel Little Black Jacket exhibition?
