LONDON’S HOTTEST NEW DISTRICT is inside a building

By the time you read this piece DOMINIC CUMMINGS may well be gone • As his antagonistic relationship with all sides comes to a head, Dominic Cummings’ omnipotence looks to be waning. Guto Harri, who worked with Boris Johnson in City Hall for four years, spells out the end of the PM’s senior advisor

STARS, STRIPES AND… SERIFS? • As candidates drop out of the race to be the Democratic nominee, the outcome has become increasingly irrelevant: the frontrunner won’t beat Trump. But forget their policies. Of all the contenders, in or out, who won the battle of the graphics? This year they were more creative than ever. We asked Andrew Lawrence of brand design consultancy Elmwood to referee a logo smackdown.

Rachel Johnson… on foreplay

Mothball the monochrome • It’s official, colour is back for spring. And it will no doubt get your sartorial juices flowing

BLACK WATCH BATTALION • Green? Done. White on white? So last year. Blue? Forget it. Right now, it’s all about black-on-black (on-black) timepieces with a stealthy, luxurious edge

Why these ‘slinky boots’ will save your wardrobe • Not quite kinky, not quite stompy, your new spring boots should be sharp of toe and edgy of attitude

Julie Curtiss, the art world’s (lucrative) new darling
