The Ferragamo Revelation

I recently went to the VIP lunch for the new Ferragamo Collection. The collection showed a mix of classic elegance and modern style with new colours and designs. It made me realise the importance of bold colours in our spring-summer outfits.

The latest Ferragamo collection by Maximilian Davis blended cultural stories well. This collection combines Italian craftsmanship and Caribbean energy. It has new colours and materials that bring a new definition to luxury fashion. It shows how elegance can be fun and sophisticated, offering pieces that will be key in any fashion-forward wardrobe this season. If you have not been in to the store yet, this is your nudge to go, what are you waiting for?

Beauty Blossoms

In beauty, the current trend is about a natural, glowing look. Picture moist skin, gently blushed cheeks, and a touch of sparkle to reflect the summer sun. For hair, the trend favours a relaxed style with loose waves, easy up-dos, and even a fun acceptance of natural textures.

As we enter this season of new beginnings, let’s aim to renew not only our clothes but also our perspectives. Let the charm of spring and summer encourage you to discover, to be creative, and to fully appreciate the beauty of the season.

Body Therapy Maestro at Neville Hair and Beauty

At Neville Hair and Beauty, we’re privileged to have Sanna, whose expertise in body therapy transforms not just appearances but enhances overall well-being. Sanna’s signature treatments, combining Venus Freeze and Endospheres Therapy, offer a multifaceted approach to body care that I have personally enjoyed and benefitted from.

Venus Freeze provides skin tightening and rejuvenation through radio-frequency and magnetic pulses, stimulating collagen production that enhances skin elasticity and smoothness. Following up, Endospheres Therapy targets stubborn cellulite and tightens skin using advanced Compressive Micro-vibration technology. This powerful treatment duo works together to deliver noticeable results in cellulite reduction, improved lymphatic drainage, enhanced circulation, and muscle toning. It also provides relief from pain and inflammation, making it an essential part of my pre-summer beauty routine.

The synergy of these treatments has significantly improved my skin’s texture and tone, giving me a boost of confidence to welcome the summer season. If you’re looking to refine your silhouette and revitalise your skin, I highly recommend starting your journey with Sanna’s expert treatments.

Detoxifying Your Hair with Kérastase’s Premiere Treatment

In our continuous quest for total wellness, I’ve discovered a revolutionary addition to our hair care rituals—Kérastase’s Premiere treatment. This groundbreaking treatment is designed to detoxify hair by removing calcium build-up, which often dulls and weakens our strands. Formulated with a potent blend of glycine and citric acid, the Premiere treatment not only cleanses but also deeply repairs and strengthens hair from within.

This treatment aligns beautifully with our philosophy here at Neville’s: taking a moment to care for ourselves is essential. If you’re looking to revitalise your hair and ensure it reflects your inner health, the Kérastase Premiere treatment comes highly recommended. We’re delighted to offer this service, ensuring that every visit leaves you feeling refreshed and your hair visibly healthier.

Rejuvenation and Family Time

This summer, I returned to my hometown in Italy, a trip that served as a beautiful reminder that the true luxuries in life are about experiences, people, and places, not just possessions. In the tranquil embrace of Italy’s rich landscapes and historic streets, I reconnected with family, reliving the simple yet profound joys that shape our deepest memories.

Italy, with its vibrant culture and breathtaking vistas, offers the perfect setting for such meaningful engagements. We immersed ourselves in the slow, deliberate pace of life, where every meal is a celebration of tradition and every conversation a reinforcement of bonds. Whether wandering through vineyards, savouring local wines, or laughing under starlit skies, these moments underscored the richness of experience over the accumulation of things.

This vacation wasn’t just a break from the daily grind; it was a nurturing return to the essentials—family, heritage, and personal peace. It reinforced the notion that life’s most genuine pleasures come from the experiences we share and the places we discover together.

The Quintessence of Bridal Style in Belgravia

Belgravia, with its picturesque streets and grand venues, sets a dreamy backdrop for any wedding. This season, we’re seeing brides lean into styles that merge classic elegance with personal touches. Think of gowns with intricate lace detailing, flowing effortlessly down the aisle, or the sophisticated simplicity of a silk sheath dress that whispers timeless chic.

But it’s not just about the dress. Accessories are playing a starring role, from vintage tiaras that hint at old-world royalty to bespoke jewellery pieces that tell a story as unique as your love. Let these choices reflect your personal narrative, adding layers of intimacy and meaning to your bridal look.

Hair Trend

As seen at Julien Fournié this season, we created soft ethereal curls to compliment the hair accessories which transcended their traditional role, emerging as pivotal elements that define bridal elegance. In Belgravia, where each detail is cherished, brides are adorning their hairstyles with pieces that not only accentuate their personal style but also pay homage to vintage glamour. Think beyond the classic veil; we’re seeing a resurgence of pearl- encrusted combs and delicate tiaras that echo the sophistication of a bygone era.

For those seeking a more modern twist, geometric hairpins and minimalist clips offer a contemporary edge, ideal for the chic, metropolitan bride. These sleek, often metallic accessories provide a striking contrast to softer bridal looks, proving that modern elegance can be as impactful as traditional styles.

Dear Belgravia Beauties

As the crispness of autumn sets in, marking the transition from the playful summer to a more regal season, our spirits are invigorated by the stunning displays at the recent Couture shows in Paris, particularly those by Yara Shoemaker. Her collection, a perfect allegory for the season, combines intricate craftsmanship with timeless elegance, much like the transformative nature of fall itself. Inspired by these magnificent designs, let’s rejuvenate our personal style and wellness routines to match the season’s majestic arrival.

Revitalising Your Hair Post-Summer

The joyful yet harsh summer elements like sun exposure, chlorine from swimming, and the frequent use of hats can leave our locks in need of serious revival. To address this, I highly recommend the transformative Epres Bond Builder. This revolutionary product is specially designed to rebuild and strengthen the hair’s structure, particularly beneficial for those of us who love our vibrant colours and styles all year round.

The Epres Bond Builder stands out for its one-step application, making it incredibly efficient for busy professionals. It actively repairs hair at the molecular level, targeting and strengthening disulphide bonds which are often damaged through chemical treatments and environmental stress. For those transitioning from summer to a busier autumn, incorporating this treatment can drastically improve hair health, resilience, and appearance.

Embracing Hygge: A Scandinavian Autumn

As we return from a memorable trip to Stockholm celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sacha Juan, I’m reminded of the profound beauty in Scandinavian design and architecture—a perfect echo of the Danish tradition of Hygge. The warm, minimalist aesthetics, combined with a focus on comfort and coziness, perfectly encapsulate the essence of this cherished practice.

Hygge, more than just a design principle, is about creating an environment that nurtures well-being and serene living. Inspired by our recent experiences in Stockholm, where the elegance of simplicity and functionality stood out, I encourage you to bring these elements into your home this season. Infuse your living spaces with touches of Scandinavian simplicity such as soft lighting, comfortable textiles, and elements of nature to create a haven of tranquility and warmth.

Discovering Elegance in Every Detail

Ziad Nakad’s 2024 collection caught my eye for its stunning designs, blending elegance with a touch of the unexpected—much like a walk through Belgravia, where classic beauty meets modern flair. Nakad’s work, with its detailed craftsmanship and thoughtful use of fabric, reminds us that true style is about expressing oneself authentically. It’s not just about the luxury tag but the stories we tell through the clothes we wear and the beauty we choose to showcase. This collection inspires us to find beauty in the details and celebrate individuality in our everyday elegance.

Belgravia’s Legacy of Luxury

Belgravia is not just a location; it’s a legacy. A legacy of timeless elegance, where the luxury of yesterday meets the innovation of tomorrow. This neighbourhood is a treasure trove of exclusive boutiques, artisanal cafes, and hidden gardens, each with its own story of sophistication and style. As part of this community, we at Neville are committed to upholding this legacy by ensuring that every service we offer is an embodiment of the elegance that Belgravia represents.
