Can you ever truly own an aesthetic? 🤔

For @itsnicethat, our US editor-at-large @domesticetch spoke to designers about what happens when your personal style is widely adopted and copied – and becomes (that dreaded word) a trend.

I'll be sitting down with the photographer Simon Wheatley on Tuesday for our next Nicer Tuesdays in London. We'll be talking about how he got into photography, his years shooting the city's grime scene, and how his creativity has evolved over time.
