Hotly tipped fashion collabs, summer-soaked scents, and the tracks currently blasting through our office speakers — here’s what the Wonderland team is loving right now.

GapStudio by Zac Posen
London’s had a glimmer of spring and I’m drifting into daydreams of summer. With Istanbul, Mallorca, and Ibiza on the horizon, my suitcase is craving some new pieces. GapStudio’s debut Collection 01 by Zac Posen is a dreamscape of clean lines and soft nostalgia. The blue blue polka dot bralette and matching skort? Straight into my summer uniform. Day 6 returns with Phase 007 their approach to slow fashion is all about doing less, better. Look out for ARORA, the dress that moves like poetry, made for holiday sunsets and every wedding dance floor.
Blanche Absolu, Byredo
My favourite scent for Spring is back and better than ever. Byredo deepens its most romantic scent with Blanche Absolu a richer, more textured take on the original. With intensified musk, aldehydes, and a bold floral heart, it’s a quiet storm of purity and strength. Inspired by the intimacy of skin, linens and connection, the scent captures love in its most vulnerable form.
All-things REFY
Community is at the heart of everything at REFY and it shows. The brand reintroduces two of its viral heroes with new-gen formulas designed around real feedback and I cannot get enough! First up: Brow Sculpt the cult-fave returns with a clean, residue-free finish, now sweat, heat, and waterproof. Then there’s Lip Sculpt the 2022 sellout (one sold every 4 seconds!?) has been streamlined to fuse pigment and staying power. I’m wearing shade Suede.

Vagabond’s Hillary Shoes
I’ve been obsessed with these shoes from Vagabond – literally like slippers, wore them all round Berlin on my hols and they were SO comfy. I’m literally telling everyone to buy them.
SOFY’s “Another Day in Paradise”
SOFY’s next mixtape “Another Day in Paradise” is SO good – I’ve been banging it on repeat.
Bethany Griffiths, Art Director
Byredo 9AM Lipstick
Byredo’s 9AM lipstick is exactly what I need when I want to look polished without putting in the effort. It’s that perfect mauve-y nude that pulls everything together, without feeling too ‘done’. The best part is that it isn’t one of those ‘barely-there’ nudes. There’s real pigment, so it instantly wakes up my face—even on the days I really could use the help and can’t fathom the thought of leaving my bed. It’s the kind of shade that makes you look like you’ve got it together, even when you’re just barely managing. Plus, the packaging feels like a little luxury every time I pull it out of my bag. Pure joy.

star by 2hollis
2hollis’ new album star is the vibe of the moment. It’s on the workout playlist, it’s on at the pres and the afters, it’s on repeat in the office – shout out to the Wonderland team for letting me take control of the speaker.
Vertigo SS25 Charms
Look at her! Who wouldn’t want her? For its Spring/Summer 2025 drop, the accessories label Vertigo created unique bag charms made out of solid semi-precious gemstones, decorated with genuine silver or gold end pieces. So no, no one else will have the same Vertigo charm chain as you, rest assured.

SeeYouSoon at Oranj
Nestling back into the Oranj kitchen, SeeYouSoon – the brainchild of Kevin Le and Michael Ovejas are back for a four week stint, like an addictive culinary cult it has made it’s home once again in the heart of Shoreditch. Oranj’s atmosphere has an undeniable warmth with each residency melting into the space as if their own.
Dive into a curated collection of Vietnamese and Filipino inspired small plates, but do not forget the wine. Ease yourself in with the curried spring rolls – which should be served by the dozen – drenched in a fish sauce caramel that is positively moreish.
Do not skip the infamous Filet XO Fish. Pillowy brioche, protects a gently battered cod, blanketed by a slice of American cheese, but the truly special XO sauce perfects the bun.
The Dreamery
Down an unassuming street in Islington sits an all the more unassuming wine bar. The bar snack – ice cream. Immediately, matcha, white chocolate and poopy seed was ordered. With undeniable umami notes that celebrate the sweetness of the white chocolate, it’s a sensation in a spoon. Two scoops of coffee and salted ricotta and blueberry were the complimentary choices to seal the trio.
The refined selection of natural wines are poured into delicately etched wine glasses and ice cream is served in silver coupes. Aside from the finer details the interior is an utter dreamscape.

New Balance 1000
New Balance are the shoe brand setting standards these days, and the fresh 1000 drop is emblematic of such. With four colour ways to choose from, the shoe sure puts a spring in your step – it’s the white for me. Comfort, compatibility and craft: cop now on JD here.
We Become One
The legendary AlphaTheta have shared a new documentary film exploring the power of shared musical experiences, with contributions from a vast array of musical moguls. An engrossing watch and listen for any lover of music, technology and experience, this opus is well worth your time.
Belvedere Dirty Brew
Think espresso martini but quadruple the taste and triple the class. Vodka heavyweights Belvedere is continuing to redefine the model with a proactive new entry into their canon. “Dirty Talk” is as scintillating in flavour as you can imagine from its sobriquet; toffeefied slick coffee tastes with a chocolate undertone and the glorious kick of the liquor, this is charisma in a glass. Get yours at Selfridges now.
