Perfect Valentines gifts from Figleaves

Figleaves started life as one of the original internet fashion businesses. In 1998 when company was founded there was little choice of lingerie styles and sizes on the high street, and even less knowledge of bra fitting. They were determined to change that.

They knew that women came in many glorious shapes and sizes but were largely being squeezed into a limited size offer of 32-36, A-C cups. And we also believed in the power of correct fitting lingerie to transform a silhouette and improve posture and health. So they offered, by contrast, almost 150 sizes – today that’s grown to over 200. To provide this choice of size, silhouette and price company offered a carefully curated selection of the best brands; from big name designers to niche and specialist collections. It would be impossible to stock such a diverse range in stores which is why we remain exclusively online.

Thought provoking exhibition of Bill Viola and Michelangelo at the Royal Academy of Arts

This exhibition brings together two artists – born centuries apart – who explore the same universal themes with works of transcendent beauty and raw emotional power.

In contrast to the scale and grandeur of his frescoes and sculptures, Michelangelo’s exquisite drawings take us closer to the emotional core of his work. Finished works in their own right, they were created as gifts and expressions of love, or as private and meditative reflections on his own mortality.

Snow Patrol going to rock in The O2 on 26 January 2019.

Snow Patrol’s album Wildness, their first album in seven years, is out now. Wildness taps into something raw and primitive. Lead-singer and songwriter Gary Lightbody says of the album: “There are many types of wildness, but I think it can be distilled into two: the wildness of the modern age, all its confusion, illogic and alienation and a more ancient wildness. Something primal, alive and beautiful that speaks to our true connectivity, our passion, our love, our communion with nature and each other. This is the kind of wildness the album is centered around. The loss of it. Trying to reconnect with it. To remember it.” Purchase Wildness on all formats here.

Leonardo da Vinci at the National Gallery – the greatest show of the year

The National Gallery’s Leonardo exhibition promises a unique chance to view his finest paintings and drawings. It also offers a glimpse of the artist’s true spirit

Renaissance man though he undoubtedly was, Leonardo da Vinci was very much a part-time artist. Among the wrecks and ruins and dubious attributions, Leonardo produced very few paintings – around 20, about some of which scholarly debate continues. There are nine in the National Gallery exhibition, all dated from his years in Milan, as well as Giampietrino’s almost 8 metre-wide 1520 scale copy of Leonardo’s 1492-8 Last Supper.
