Delphine Hervieu is a fashion editor and consultant. Born to a Danish mother and a French father, she was born and raised in Paris where she completed a masters degree in Marketing for Luxury Brands at French business school, ESSEC. During her studies she has worked and lived in Paris, New York and Tel Aviv. Her pencil-led passion for fashion took her to London in 2007 where she worked in the online industry for companies such as Harrods and set up the basis of her editorial career to come. At the very beginning of 2010 an opportunity to work for Dolce & Gabbana's online magazine, Swide.com, brought her to Milan where she still writes, shoots and publishes. Delphine contributes among other publications to Grazia.it, huffingtonpost.co.uk, A Rush of Culture and unFLOP PAPER.

Parisian by birth, Milanese by adoption and New York-London-Tel Aviv by mood. I consider myself lucky as I am on the story telling side of fashion. My daily job is to romance and give meanings to cuts, fabrics and silhouettes.

From a very young age, the beautiful half Greek, half French gallerist, Virginia Damtsa, has been submerged in the world of art. Buying her first pieces - Picasso and Hirst - when still only a teenager, Damtsa is one of the art world's new pioneers. Having finished 2 MA's at both the University of the Arts and the Sotheby's Institute in 2000, Virginia Damtsa now has her own gallery Riflemaker with co-partner, Tot Taylor, on Beak Street in London's Soho. Having a keen interest in the music industry as well as art, Virginia has recently been working with The Vinyl Factory gallery, fusing together unusual collaborations between artists and musicians.

Being in the art business involves a lot of footwork. It always has: from artist’s studios in out-of-the-way locations; to clients’ and collectors’ homes; storerooms, and framers. You can easily get through several miles in a day. On top of the walking, there is the socialising and dancing come the evenings as well. To save myself carrying around a change of shoe, it’s best to start off comfortable – as a trained dancer, I know that comfort is important. At my Soho gallery, Riflemaker , we work in an historic building dating back to the early 1700’s. The creaky, near ancient floors are quite demanding on heels – hence why I’m usually seen in a great pair of wedges.

So, September.

As a kid I was filled with equal parts dread and excitement for the coming school year. The ever-important first day of school, but more importantly, putting together the perfect outfit for it. Today, as a forty-somethng working in the international style industry, it's more or less the same thing. Fashion has la rentree too! Come September the runways of back-to-back fashion launch with gusto and stretch into October. It's a moveable fashion week feast.

As creative director for The Room at Canada's venerable and glamorous Hudson's Bay Company , I join the fashion week circuit with a sense of purpose, passion and a 'take no prisoners' approach. This Fall we will also be taking Toronto's iconic The Room luxury boutique westwards, opening a companion to our Toronto flagship with a soaring 20,000 sq ft. location in Vancouver.

Being disconnected from my real life in Toronto for such a long period of time - my daily routine, my friends, my home - makes it especially important for me to have the things that keep me being 'me'. Sometimes that's food, sometimes it's pop culture references, sometimes it's a place. And always, family. Here, I'd like to share a few things that have lead me down a fun path full of love and laughs (and lots of drinks)! Things I take comfort in: some of which have been important milestones in my 'development' , but always make me feel like Me. When life speeds up, take a breath and maybe ask yourself what those things are for you.

Mahogany

"Do you know / Where you're going to?"

As a seven-year old boy it seemed like the most devastating of questions. As a forty year old man it continues to have similar power! Diana Ross - a glamour icon for the ages - was at the height of her powers in the 1970's and her movie Mahogany is that most guilty of vanity pleasures.

The super-stylish Ruth Runberg, buying director of legendary London boutique, Browns, is August's guest editor.

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Ruth Runberg started out life as an investment banker in NY. After a 4 year stint at Barney’s, Ruth moved to work in the glamourous Couture department at Saks. It was after this, as head of buying for womenswear boutique, Capitol, that Ruth first discovered Rupert Sanderson’s shoes. Finally settling in London recently with her husband, Ruth took on the to-die-for role as Buying Director at the prestigious London store, Browns. Ruth loves the peacocks in Holland Park, El Camion beef tacos and a pint of Guinness at the Ladbroke Arms. She fills us in on the latest trends hitting the stores this Autumn/Winter...

Last week, my husband listened patiently as I relayed to him my most recent case of sartorial stress. This has been my first “summer” living in London and the 19-ish degree temperatures render a good two-thirds of my summer and early-fall closet unwearable. You see, I moved from the American South, a place where summers are long, hot and sticky, where only the barest of cotton sundresses will suit. And because I’m typically cold in what most consider pleasant temperatures, my short cotton embroidered skirts from Mexico and beloved tie-dye tanks leave me shivering down Oxford Street to work in the mornings! And, if this is July weather, how will I ever dress during that tricky transition to autumn? ( Hello, goosebumps were certainly NOT shown on the AW11 runways!) Sooooo, I knew I had to act fast and update my Southern girl bohemian late-summer wardrobe with pre-fall’s newest and smartest trouser shapes. BUT (and this added “but” is where husband’s patience in listening to my dilemma began to wear thin), the new fall trouser silhouettes call for just the right new shoe pairing. The masses of shoebooties I’ve collected in the last five seasons just no longer fit the bill. So, I grabbed my top five favourite new trousers from Browns and showed up to Rupert Sanderson’s doorstep, determined to find the perfect shoe/trouser solution.

THE CONTENDERS :

1) The tasselled loafer amps up the preppy crop :

The mensy-loafer was a major shape on runways from Alexander Wang to Celine! I love Rupert’s leopard-print haircalf take because the leopard acts as a great neutral and the bit of red trim and tassel gives this conservative Stella McCartney side-zip trouser a pop of fun.

We'd like to introduce Emily King as June-July's Guest Editor.

Emily is a respected design historian and a mover and shaker in the London arts scene. At the moment she's spending most of her time in Lisbon, curating an exhibition as part of the forthcoming design biennale, Experimenta, which opens on the 28th September 2011 and runs for two months.

Operating economically (as do the entire hard-working and resourceful Experimenta team), my plan is to exploit Lisbon's fantastic resource of small, often quite eccentric museums and institutions. Taking a bunch of idiosyncratic collections - at the moment I am working with seven - I am going to lodge them for two months inside a handful of the city's finest hidden treasures. So far it's working beautifully, with all the potential host institutions lining up neatly along the route of the famous no.28 tram. From the geological museum at one end, to the decorative arts museum at the other, the trail runs from stone-age flints, to ancient Egyptian pharmaceutical equipment, through a Roman amphitheatre and into a heavily furnished formal salon. The matieral that I will be bringing to these places is yet to be finalised. Come to Lisbon this autumn and take a look!

Putting a collection of one kind inside that of another raises questions about acquisition, ordering and display, and how these activities shape our understanding of both the past and the present. This is an especially pointed exercise in Lisbon, where there seems to be a very particular sense of how things are gathered and shown. Walking through the city hunting down the perfect venue to exhibit this or that, I am constantly coming across sources of inspiration.

A well-known Lisbon favourite, on the shopping street Rua do Carmo, is the glove shop Luvaria Ulisses. Lodged in a space little bigger than its doorway, it displays the stock in neatly formed chevrons, women's gloves on the left, men's on the right. There is a sense of abundance and variety that belies the shop's tiny size.
