The fashion entrepreneur - also Stormzy's stylist - shares her take on luxury, from trips to the Cayman Islands and a stunning 'push present' to an upmarket snack

MELISSA HOLDBROOK AKPOSOE

Melissa Holdbrook-Akposoe has built a following of nearly 380,000 on Instagram, where she shares her takes on fashion, beauty and homewares. London-born and raised, she is also Stormzy's personal stylist and has worked with Anthony Joshua, Maya Jama and David Guetta.

The pieces she recommends regularly sell out, and her new series, Love That (streaming on marksandspencer.com), combines accessible fashion and styling advice with weekly episodes designed to make a considered wardrobe feel effortless. She lives in London.

I'm not much of a night owl, so a luxury evening is probably an early-ish dinner at a swanky restaurant. My current favourite place in London is Gaia; the sea bream carpaccio is so good. It's served with smoked sea salt, lemon and three different oils that take you on a sensory journey.

The simple luxury that brings me the most joy
