She’s a former financial whizz turned publisher (of iconic Tank magazine), editor, general mastermind, street style star and designer (we could go on, but it would probably turn into us gushing about how much we love her). Is there nothing that Caroline Issa can’t do? In celebration of the film she has styled and art directed just for us (to highlight the endless wardrobe options of our new Bonn jean), we caught up with the fashion wonder woman for a quick chat to find out her guilty pleasures, favourite London hangouts, favourite movies and more.

We have babies on the mind as another MiH team member has just welcomed a baby boy to the world.  Balancing work, life and play with grace is no small feat, but these recognizable Mums managed to do it with style.

We keep falling in love with Bernadette Pascua over and over again.  Her latest illustrations are inspired by none other than Jane Birkin – our ultimate style muse, and they remind us why there's nothing better than jeans and a simple tee.  Visit Bernadette's blog, Decade Diary, to see more of her work – you won't regret it!

A sixties rock chick, Anita Pallenberg is best known for playing muse to the Rolling Stones.  The Italian born actress toured the world with the band for nearly two decades, earning her nickname as the First Lady of Rock. After discovering Morocco in the mid-60’s, Marrakesh quickly became the band’s playground.  Influenced by the vibrant Moroccan culture, Anita developed a unique sense of style that helped inspire our exclusive capsule collection for Shopbop.com.

One of our team went to a lecture not long ago where Alexandra Shulman talked about her life and life in fashion. The Editor-in-Chief of Vogue is impressive in her ability to edit one of the most beautiful and fantastical magazines in the world, whilst admitting that outside office hours, she turns off entirely and does not ever think about work.

She says it has always been her skill to be in the countryside playing tennis, with no cares in the world, and then come Monday she is back at her desk ready to take on the fashion world. It is refreshing to see an ambitious, successful woman with such a great work/life balance; likewise a woman who is happy to be honest and open about it.
