autumn/winter 2026.


Here's the scene: it's winter in Edinburgh, the days are short, but you're ready for the best day out with your BFF. You'll meet at a cute cafe, browse your favourite yarn store and her favourite bookstore, catch the bus to the gallery, get caught in the rain with just one umbrella between the two of you, and round it out with a few glasses of wine and deep conversation in a cosy bar. You already know this is the kind of day you'll be nostalgic about later.

For Issue 9 - Autumn/Winter 2026, we want you to imagine you're the star of the show; think Sex and the City trendy meets Gilmore Girls cosy. We're looking for modern takes on the classics that incorporate bold, punchy colour combinations and patterns. Jumpers, cardigans, sweater vests, hats and beanies, balaclavas, shawlettes and neckerchiefs, and big scarves are all encouraged here!
