Every Celeb Wears This 'Secret' High Street Brand - Now You Can Finally Shop It
If, like me, you've been (not so) patiently waiting for cult-favourite brand Dissh to finally land in the UK - you're in luck. The Australia-born label, known for its effortless silhouettes, breezy linen staples, and social media-famous dresses has officially arrived on British soil. That means no more import fees, shorter shipping times - and thanks to Selfridges - easier summer dressing for the balmy months ahead. While the brand was originally founded back in 2001, it wasn't until 2020 that Dissh truly earned its cult status - when owner Lucy Henry-Hicks took over and brought the Aussie label's laid-back, elevated vision to life. Since then, the brand has quietly made its mark, and is now worn by pretty much every cool-girl who knows a thing or two about fashion - including Kendall Jenner and Emrata, both of whom harbour a love for the low-key label. Jenner was spotted in the now sold out Nate Maxi Dress during a beachside stroll in 2024, while Ratajkowski opted for a classic (also sold out) black tank top for casual wear back in 2022. But the brand doesn't need to rely on celebrity endorsement to cement its dedicated following - its pieces more than stand on their own two feet. Take the Flynn Ruched Linen Top and Peggy Strapless Top as prime examples, along with the Sue Sleeveless Cotton-Knit Maxi Dress - all of which have gained serious traction thanks to their breathable, cotton-rich fabrics and effortless appeal. The latter, in particular, is selling at warp speed, but luckily, a few sizes are still available on the website. 1. Sue Sleeveless Knit Maxi Dress There are only a few sizes left in the Sue maxi, so if you want to snap it up, we'd suggest you act fast. Of course, that's not all. The trouser selection is equally as strong, with plenty of linen wide-leg options in soft, muted tones - perfect for sun soaked days out and inspired by the easy, loose-fitting silhouettes. And don't forget the brand's stellar range of maxi skirts - all effortlessly chic and ideal for both on and off-duty occasions, depending on what you decide to style them with. The Loula lace maxi skirt, in particular, feels like a boho dream straight from Sienna Miller's own wardrobe, and unsurprisingly, has flown off the online shelves. So, what are you waiting for? If you have a soft spot for chic staples that elevate any outfit, shop the best of Dissh from Selfridges below. Pre-warning though, a lot of these pieces are on their way out, so if you're looking for something that'll be in constant rotation once the weather remains steady, act sooner, rather than later. 2. Flynn Gathered Linen-Cotton Blend Top A Dissh best-seller which we can guarantee has been on the top of your wish list for a while now. 3. Lotus Scoop-Neck Linen Mini Dress The Lotus dress is a resort-ready linen number that'll see you through plenty holiday plans, casual or formal. 4. Gina Drawstring Linen Trousers The secret to summer dressing? A great pair of linen trousers - and the Gina Drawstring style might just be some of the best out there. 5. Longline Flared Stretch-Woven Vest A longline vest (or as we like to call it, a waist coat) will do the trick if you're looking for a great staple that you can wear year round. 6. Reagan Wide-Leg Denim Jeans A trusted pair of jeans are a must-have in any wardrobe rotation, and this Dissh pair is no exception - featuring cool-girl contrasting stitching. 7. Liza Ruffled Cotton-Poplin Midi Dress Tiered silhouettes have skyrocketed in popularity lately, and while Uniqlo's viral skirt may have played a part, we'd argue Dissh's Liza dress deserves just as much credit. 8. Carmel Halterneck Woven Top A classic halter neck top is great for the office or nights out with friends. 9. Toby Bitter Shirred Cotton-Poplin Dress We're quite simply obsessed with this shirred poplin dress, perfect for balmy summer days out and sophisticated evening plans out - just decide on your choice of footwear. 10. Peggy Strapless Cotton-Poplin Top A bandeau top is one of my all-time favourite wardrobe staples – it highlights the collarbones in the most effortless way. We've all seen the Peggy top circulating on social media, too. 11. Lune Two-Slip-Pockets Linen Shorts Linen shorts are key to a chafe-free holiday. Dissh's Lune linen shorts are a great choice and come in a rich-hued brown colourway. 12. Rick Off-Shoulder Cotton-Linen Blend Knit Top Off the shoulder tops are the ultimate cool-girl wardrobe staple that combine chic wearability with a casual twist.

Rugby-Australia-born Tuipulotu all in for the Lions
(Reuters) -Melbourne-born Scotland centre Sione Tuipulotu says he is fully committed to the British & Irish Lions after being selected to tour Australia later this year. The 28-year-old, who qualifies for Scotland through his grandmother, was one of two Australia-born players selected to tour the land of their birth along with Ireland winger Mack Hansen. "I really wanted to be a Lion because I know how much it means to people over here," Tuipulotu told reporters in London. "I had gone all in with Scotland. I just felt what better way to prove my allegiance to Scotland than go all in and try and make the Lions? That's why it meant so much to me. "In those early days, you have that feeling of 'Am I part of this?' I feel like talking is one thing, but showing people how much it means with how I play is another. Of course, you get those feelings you want to prove yourself. "The best way to do that is on the field and show your commitment that way." Although far from unprecedented, Lions coach Andy Farrell attracted criticism in some quarters for picking seven players who were born, raised and started their rugby careers in the Southern Hemisphere. Tuipulotu, who captained Scotland against the Wallabies last November, said he understood that some fans would have reservations. "I don't blame those people," said Tuipulotu, who missed the Six Nations this year but returned from injury for his Glasgow club last weekend. "I didn't grow up dreaming of playing for Scotland or the Lions, that's the truth. But this is where my path has led me. I'm all in for this Lions team, for Scotland and for Glasgow. I genuinely believe this is where I'm supposed to be. "I've been led here for a reason." The Lions will play Argentina in Dublin on June 20 before three tests and six tour matches in Australia in June, July and August.
