When it comes to fashion, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well-dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a super stylish every-day passerby.
As fashion editors, we’re moved by all of the above, and then some. We’re exposed to under-the-radar labels; we get a first-hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we’re tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop — a lot.
To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, a weekly series of the latest, greatest and on the verge. We hope this Friday series will serve as a buying guide and point of inspiration for the clotheshorses and fashion fanatics alike.

Dream: Having struggled with acne prone skin all her life, Keys has always been fascinated with skin care
Having struggled with acne prone skin all her life, Keys has always been fascinated with skin care.
‘My skin changed when I started looking more inside myself, taking care of what I put inside my body, who I had around me, what energy I was allowing around me, said Alica.
‘And so all these things put together made me realize how much I empathize and understand the journey that all of us are on to really have beautiful skin and a beautiful body and a beautiful mind.
‘That’s why we created Soulcare, because I realize now that it’s everything together that makes it work, that makes you change.’
Soulcare is a line of clean, cruelty-free, dermatologist-developed products, the first ritual previewing for holiday 2020, followed by the full collection launch in early 2021.
‘Keys open doors and this is another beautiful door that we kinda get to walk through together.’
