THE FACE cover star curates her go-to designers for fresh hats, painted leather, body-moulded jewellery, black diamond grills, organic hair care, Black-owned beauty brands, healing books, extravagant cakes and more!

Peter Willis’ second-hand bookshop has called south-east London's Rye Lane home since 2016. Undeterred by lockdown, he’s opening a new space up the road, treasure hunting the most gripping page-turners for your reading pleasure.

Heads up: Instagram milliners Benny Andallo, Puer Deorum, Creature Featur3 and Ed Curtis are spearheading an outlandish headgear renaissance.

Jewellers like Clova Rae-Smith, Juanita Care, Joshua Myszczynski and Gabby Elan have sunk their teeth into the art of grill-making. As lockdown drags on, THE FACE explores how social media is changing the way we view mouth bling in 2021.

From ball bearing bras, to statement mini bags, this Parisian accessories designer has a vision as limitless and enticing as her big-name collaborator.

Last year, colourful, amorphous rings from jewellers La Manso, Bea Bongiasca, Beepy Bella and Blobb were spotted on celebs and Zoom calls alike. As the world remains under the thumb of a health crisis, THE FACE explores how outsider designers providing nonsensical escapism will continue to dominate in 2021.
