Setting The Title

By Caroline Leaper

 
 

“Personal touches are the markers and the makers - the details which cannot be replicated or taught en mass, without said items becoming ubiquitous or cliché.”

 What constitutes a stylish occasion now?

 

There is a certain magic which everyone is in pursuit of, but it is not something which can be defined by a specific dress trend, a photography style, a social media craze, nor a floral arrangement that you simply must copy.

Whether you’re hosting a birthday dinner, curating a holiday capsule wardrobe, or planning your modern wedding, it is personal touches are the markers and the makers - the details which cannot be replicated or taught en mass, without said items becoming ubiquitous or cliché. The Title is a new creative platform, presenting alternative ways of thinking about event fashion via hints, suggestions, moods and visuals.

More is not always more. A glamorous wedding is no longer necessarily the most expensive, nor the biggest. It is the one which sees a couple make their day entirely their own. When planning, be sure that everything you do serves a purpose. Make it all about you both, and your love. Equally, the most memorable dinner party could be the most intimate one, with just a few exquisite details for friends to enjoy. 

From purposeful accessories, to statement dresses, heritage and current jewellery, the edits in these pages aim to catch the eye and showcase fashion ideas that you may not previously have considered. 

Thinking outside the box is essential.

 

Discover designers and artists who could change your perspective. Let the unconventional challenge the traditional and be infatuated with the results. Found your own traditions. Abandon whatever doesn’t suit. Pursue happiness.

 
 

Look at objects a little differently and new centrepieces, invitations and artistic flourishes may come into view. Seek out the raw, the sculptural, the tactile, the crafted, the quality. Clash the wild with the poised. Define the aesthetic you know to be yours, and run with it.

Adopt clever event dressing, in all senses of the phrase. Now is the time for optimism and celebration. For new stories and fresh beginnings. Treasure your intimacy and enjoy the processes you’ve allowed yourself to engage with. Be open, and be inspired.
