As well it might. Northern style has always rested in its specificity, no matter what individual shapes it might be taking in any given season. The devil is always in the detail. Those details travel. The beauty of northern style is that it all happens a long way away from London, where the industry of fashion can force a persuasive, strict, business-like hand over the divisions of elegance, where those with money are assumed to have more taste than those without. The weather helps counterbalance matters a little. You need clothes up there. Pilkington obscure glass offers many different textured glass designs – no one offers a wider choice. And if you need to match replacement Pilkington glass we will do our best to find it for you. The Russell Pure Style Indexes are designed to provide focused exposure to the value and growth segments of the U.S. equity market. The phenomenal success of the Range Rover Evoque has largely been down to its looks, and the new entry-level eD4 is every bit as stylish as models further up the range.

The lifespan of the exhibition has weathered either side of the Brexit vote, arriving in London opportunely when the north/south divide has rarely been at such an optimum brokerage. Because of the shadow Westminster casts over the city, the capital never looks uncooler than under a Tory government. The most famous exponent of the most iconoclastic living London designer, Vivienne Westwood, is Theresa May. North is a reminder of the spirit that informed punk’s queen couturier when Viv was growing up in Tintwistle and had nothing to lean on but her imagination, curiosity and taste. That’s all style really takes. While the standard Russell Value and Growth style indexes can be used as performance benchmarks or as asset class proxies, the Pure Style Index Series provides tools that allow more precise refinement of equity exposures. Viewing the garden as an extension of the home, and with ideas for all seasons, this beautiful and inspiring book is illustrated with glorious photographs and enchanting paintings by the author herself.

Thus there are eight Pure Style indexes in all. Bestselling author Jane Cumberbatch's 'Pure Style' philosophy is all about making the most of what’s around you and finding beauty in the simple and everyday as an achievable alternative to the stressful demands of consumer society. In this book, which was put together over the course of 2020, she draws on the inspiration of her own home and garden to supply ideas for life-affirming colour, scent and texture, and to show how even the most unpromising outdoor space can be a source of sensuous renewal.

A gorgeous celebration of gardening and growing. Jane Cumberbatch manages to convey the joy - the very essence - of gardening." Reclaim magazine Part diary, part notebook, part recipe book and part photo album, reading the four seasonal chapters is like going to stay with someone and gradually finding out the story of their garden and what makes it so special." Waitrose WeekendWhile we have touched on some of the key aspects of both the standard and the Pure Style methodologies, in the next section we expand on them, so the reader may get a deeper understanding of Russell’s index methodology. Methodology overview Increasingly, outdoor spaces are becoming our haven – somewhere to breathe again, heighten our senses and escape the onslaught of noise, clutter and technology. This book offers ideas and inspiration for making the most of any outdoor space we might have – whether it is a garden, a patio, balcony, or even just a window box – and for bringing touches of nature indoors for mindful enjoyment. We’ve described the standard Russell Style methodology and its role in the Pure Style methodology. In Part 2 we review the resultant style factor capture, performance and portfolio characteristics that these indexes would have exhibited over time. Part 2 While the rear provides just about enough space for adults, the Evoque’s coupé lines and steeply raked tailgate result in a disappointing 420-litre boot: 75 litres less than the Volvo’s. Folding the seats down does improve matters, but you don’t get an entirely flat load area and the wide wheelarches eat into space as well.
