Style & Lifestyle
June Calloway
Covers the wardrobe: latex, fetish lingerie, leather. The lifestyle pieces, the atelier visits, the way a piece feels when you wear it.
June writes the Style & Lifestyle desk. That includes the latex catsuit pieces, the fetish-lingerie roundups, the leather care notes, the atelier visits, and the aesthetic-led guides on how to build a wardrobe rather than a costume box.
The editorial angle is closer to The Gentlewoman than to Cosmopolitan: fewer adjectives, more attention to how a piece is cut and how it sits on the body. June's pieces sit comfortably next to the Materials desk: you cannot recommend a latex dress without recommending a way to care for it.
June covers UK and European fetish-fashion brands closely, Noir Handmade, House of Etiquette, The Late X, Skin Two heritage pieces, and the considered end of the Cottelli and Rimba ranges.
