Golf: A traditional, boring game? Or the ultimate cool girl activity? An investigation into the game through the eyes of a 29-year-old fashion journalist, who’s traded cocktails for clubs (well, almost).

Or the ultimate cool girl activity? Golf: (as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary) “A game played on a large open-air course, in which a small hard ball is struck with a club into a series of small holes in the ground, the object being to use the fewest possible strokes to complete the course.” Golf, as defined by me, a 29-year-old fashion journalist: “An old-school, slow, traditional game that is extremely frustrating, involves an unfathomable amount of technique and patience, and is rooted in outdated gender perceptions where men rule supreme.” "It’s true. That’s exactly what I thought—or thought, I thought—if someone had asked me about golf at the beginning of 2024."

Ballet, Baby & Balance “Ballet isn’t just a job- it’s a lifestyle. And being a mum doesn’t change that!" We spent the morning with Claire Calvert, First Soloist at the Royal Ballet, to learn how she balances the demands of her career with the joys of motherhood. Photographed at the Royal Academy of Dance, in collaboration with Sweaty Betty, Claire lifts the lid on the fascinating world of ballet—a world she committed to at the age of 11, when she left home to attend a prestigious ballet boarding school. From performing principal roles to raising her 11-month-old daughter, Claire reflects on the sacrifices, challenges, and the moments of joy that come with balancing both worlds.
