The UK’s biggest photography fair, Photo London, is back in town this weekend, bringing with it a wealth of pop-ups and displays to feast your eyes on. At Dover Street Market, London-based designer Lucila Safdie has teamed up with photographer and IDEA Books co-founder Angela Hill to launch a collaborative zine, Every Girl for Herself.
The zine will be presented on the third floor of the department store, along with an accompanying installation and capsule collection. Including an original text from writer Marley Wendt, the zine is based on nostalgic memories of British girlhood in the mid-00s.
We all remember inviting our friends over after school, playing dress-up before our parents got home, and maybe shooting a music video or two. This is the scene reinterpreted by Hill: young girls in mismatched clothes – spliced with their school uniforms – posing for the camera and pretending to be on a fashion shoot. Thankfully, this was a time before Facebook and Instagram (making the photos all the more special, intended only for personal use and not for the eyes of the internet).
“This is what girls in our grade did to let the days pass. They met early to swap tops and exchange mascaras, even though they knew they shouldn’t really do that,” writes Wendt. “The girls moved through the house looking for places that could be used – a corner of the bedroom, the edge of the garden, the hallway mirror. Between shots, they adjusted strands of hair and changed into outfits they’d only wear in front of a camera.”
Every Girl for Herself is on display at Dover Street Market from now until May 17. Elsewhere in fashion this week, Jonathan Anderson took centre stage for his Dior Cruise debut; we rounded up the best merch for the FIFA World Cup 2026; and writer Jenny Jane weighed in on the internet’s talking point du jour, Olivia Rodrigo’s babydoll dress. Here’s everything else you need to catch up on…
The Copenhagen Fashion Council has officially announced the designers taking part in its New Talent initiative for the upcoming SS27 season.

Late last year, the divisive Valentino Rockstud caused a stir on social media when the shoe was worn by Miranda Priestly in the trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2. After chatting to the film’s costume designer, Molly Rogers, we now know that the Rockstuds were snuck onto the set while she was away. Then, in December, Valentino doubled down on the shoe, and now they’re back yet again, this time with the Valentino Garavani Rockstud Pumps campaign. See here.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Russell Tovey is set to take on the role of Lee Alexander McQueen in a new short film, Wild Bird.
