Shop Autumn with the Hood Editors
MEET THE EDITORS: Hood Editor-in-Chief Emma-Kate Miller and Digital Editor Nicola Campbell, joined by Hood Insider’s Astrid Carter, bring their combined fashion and beauty know-how to Westfield St James Quarter this September.
A rebrand, a landmark partnership with the British Fashion Council, a programme led by Scottish designer Charles Jeffrey and a Meet the Editors event mark the beginning of an exciting new era for Westfield St James Quarter, where shopping meets creativity, culture and conversation.
And Hood will be right at the heart of the celebrations.
As part of the festivities marking St James Quarter’s transformation into Westfield St James Quarter, Hood Magazine will host Meet the Editors on Friday 18th September, an in-store Style and Shop evening bringing together fashion, beauty, accessories and some serious industry experience.
Hood Editor-in-Chief Emma-Kate Miller, whose career in fashion and publishing began in the Nineties and has taken her from London Fashion Week to founding Hood, will be joined by Digital Editor Nicola Campbell, whose career includes Marie Claire and fashion industry title Drapers, and Astrid Carter, a former Red journalist and SheerLuxe editor who now heads up the Hood Insider Club.
Between them, the three bring decades of experience covering fashion, beauty and accessories, attending shows, launches and press days, spotting what matters and knowing the difference between a passing trend and something genuinely worth your money.
THREE EDITORS, THREE AUTUMN EDITS
Across the evening, guests will move between & Other Stories, Dune and H Beauty at Westfield St James Quarter, where Emma-Kate, Nicola and Astrid will each host an intimate 20-minute edit.
At & Other Stories, Emma-Kate will showcase her favourite pieces for autumn, from the clothes she thinks are worth investing in now to the styles that will work hardest in your wardrobe. Better still, guests will be able to shop everything in store with 20% off on the night.
Over at Dune, Nicola will curate her top 10 shoes and bags for autumn and beyond – the finishing touches that can instantly make a wardrobe feel more polished. Whether it’s the perfect everyday bag, a great boot or the shoe that makes a simple outfit work harder, her edit will focus on pieces you’ll reach for again and again. Guests can shop with 10% off during the event.
And at H Beauty, Astrid will turn her attention to fragrance, highlighting the scents she thinks you’ll adore this season. With 10% off across the store throughout the evening, it’s also the perfect excuse to treat yourself or get ahead with Christmas gifting for a little less.
Guests will be divided into three small groups and rotate between each editor-led session, with time to browse and shop along the way. Everyone will experience all three edits, so expect expert advice, strong opinions and the sort of conversation usually reserved for the editorial meeting.
Then we’ll all come together for a drink at The Botanist, from 7.30pm, where you can pick up a Hood goodie bag including the brand-new autumn issue.
Tickets are £20 per person, including all three editor-led sessions, a drink at The Botanist and your Hood goodie bag.
Places are strictly limited and tickets are being released in batches of 25. Your starting store and rotation for the evening will be confirmed ahead of the event.
