There’s a stay-at-home dance party at Coach and everyone’s invited.

Plus, Coach creative director Stuart Vevers has also tried his hand with a compilation playlist titled ‘Self-isolation disco’ on Spotify. Featuring the likes of Sister Sledge, Donna Summer, Barbra Streisand and Jennifer Lopez, it’s guaranteed to have you dancing around your living room in no time.

Michael Kors
As part of his continuing ‘At home with Michael Kors’ Instagram series, the designer gave us a peak at what he’s been reading while at home. During the book club, fans were encouraged to rediscover old favourites – from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Joan Didion – and find inspiration in art tomes: with books on Picasso, Halston, Patti Smith, Robert Mapplethorpe and Diane Vreeland on Michael’s personal bookshelf. Plus, for a proper fashion fix, look out for the designer’s ongoing ‘Storytime with Michael’ instalments. One of the latest took us behind the scenes of the iconic MET Gala: fashion’s most fabulous night out.

Asics
Encouraging us all off the sofa and into the garden is Asics, who have enlisted Olympic runner Eilish McColgan to share her advice on how to achieve better running form. As part of the brand’s ‘train like a pro’ video series, fans can follow along as Eilish takes us through an easy-to-follow exercise regime – from knee drives to lateral crab walks – that promises to deliver proper glute activation. For those who’d like to step their training up a gear, Asics also has a free Studio app filled with accessible workouts you can do from home.
