“Practicality is a huge draw for me when it comes to outfit choices — I have to think about how my clothes move and what they allow me to achieve while I’m doing this job… so I have come to rely on a fairly strict uniform. Basically I wear five things on rotation. On any given day it’s a blazer — my favourites are by McQueen and Simone Rocha — over a white T-shirt by With Nothing Underneath and Victoria Beckham cropped trousers.”
From meeting the King to navigating global trade deals, Laura Weir needs her wardrobe to work as hard as she does. In the new issue of Style, the CEO of the British Fashion Council tells our Fashion Director, Karen Dacre, how she gets dressed (yes, it’s very British).

Not me and the new PM being on the same page… 👀
A year ago, in my very first speech as CEO of the British Fashion Council, I said:
“Too often, fashion has been a London-centric story. We must now decentralise in so many ways. We must recognise excellence across the UK and make our industry more accessible.”
Twelve months later, we’re doing exactly that.
This September (hold tight) we’re launching FASHION BRITAIN across six brilliant cities: London, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Bristol and Edinburgh. Together we’ll be celebrating the creativity, talent and businesses that make British fashion so special, with public events, designer conversations, cultural collaborations and experiences that bring fashion into the heart of communities.
One of the things we are most excited about is our new partnership with @elleuk on the National Designer Panel Series, taking conversations with some of our industry’s most inspiring voices around the country. (Thank you @kenyahunt).
This is just the beginning - the goal is to work with more cities and towns nationwide longer term. Fashion doesn’t start and end in London, and neither should the opportunities our industry creates. We want more people to see themselves in fashion, more people to imagine a future in it, and more creative talent to thrive wherever they call home.
The full programme lands in the coming weeks complete with all of the partners we are teaming up with. Tell your friends and family…this is about fashion and creativity for all 💪🏻🇬🇧
Huge credit to the brilliant @britishfashioncouncil team for turning another big idea from the 2030 strategy into reality.

Amazing really, the way that Mother Earth takes care of us, when we forget about her. Life has got in the way of the allotment in 2026, which is of course, the wrong way up. The allotment and growing, my favourite hobby should be life. But you know how it is. It’s been months, if not a year since I’ve been up here with my hands in the soil. Life has stacked to stop me from coming, totally wiped out by the time weekend comes, prioritising anything else, the looming sense of guilt that I have left it too long, and on and on, but today the sunshine, and a dog desperate for a walk pulled me up there. I felt ashamed before I put the key in the gate, I knew it would be in right state, overgrown and neglected, baron - but it was a beautiful lesson instead. Wild and warm. Firstly it reminded me that nothing is ever as bad as you think it will be, second the garden had still provided for me, even though I had neglected it. Forgiveness in food form; carrots, pumpkins (just in time for tonight) the last of the summer tomatoes, a bunch of winding, lilac cosmos and one yellow rose. I spent hours weeding today, tucking the allotment in for winter, my family came up, the children loved the Peter rabbitness of it all. And now I’ve 50 carrots I don’t know what to do with, (and a happier heart than I had this morning). Maybe next year I’ll get back to it, but I’m not going to put the pressure on, because apparently the bare minimum can still bring abundance. Who knew!

8. Crane count: how many you can see on the go at any one time is apparently the sign of London’s economic and investment health. Up in the clouds to talk all things 🇬🇧 @greatcampaign with ministers and movers.
9. A very important vignette from the Bayeux Tapestry (the single decapitated rolling head came a close second)
