The Hot List

1 THE PREQUEL … It’s been three months since Game of Thrones’ nal episode screened, but it’s not really farewell to this ctional world because GoT author George RR Martin and showrunner Jane Goldman have been hard at work on a spin-off series. Set in the Age of Heroes, about 5000 years before the events of GoT, there’s no Jon Snow (sob!) or Iron Throne, no King’s Landing and no Targaryens, but Josh Whitehouse of Poldark fame, Naomi Watts and Miranda Richardson have all signed on to star and began lming in Belfast, Ireland in May.

2 THE FASHION LABEL …

Online store Ellis and Friends has released a range of natural-toned garments that are not only office-friendly but also incorporate recycled fabric – some from a luxury design house in Europe. What’s more, the clothing is handmade by working women for women who work. ellisandfriends.com

3 THE SOCIAL PLATFORM … Girlboss and Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso has launched a new networking platform on which young professionals can connect. Members are invited to chat, ask questions and exchange ideas, and just like LinkedIn, you can send connection requests to other community members. Sign-up is free . community.girlboss.com
