Colour Coded: Going monochromatic in absolute style

Who says monochromatic should be limited to just shades of black, grey and white? With seven colours in the rainbow and an innumerable amount of shades that fall under each one, there is no limit to layering your outfit with gradients of deep, deep hues to a tinge of dye. 

From a blue jacket, shorts and heels by Salvatore Ferragamo to a golden-brownish jumpsuit by Stella McCartney, these styles put the fun back into monochromatic fashion.

Wes Anderson directs H&M Christmas advert starring Adrien Brody

H&M have released a Christmas advert directed by Wes Anderson and starring Adrien Brody, and it captures the holiday mood perfectly.

In the four-minute film, “Come Together”, lone passengers are travelling to join their loved ones for the Christmas holiday, but winter weather conspires to waylay them.

The conductor, played by Brody, informs the passengers that they won’t make it home in time for Christmas due to bad weather.

Anderson, who directed the the Grand Budapest Hotel in 2014, shows the passengers in their little compartments as Brody makes his announcement over the tannoy.

Each passenger has one photo of a loved one and the train is decorated in Anderson’s trademark colours

The conductor tells the passengers onboard the H&M Lines Winter Express sleeper train to convene in the dining car, which is where Anderson unveils the advert’s Christmas surprise.
