If you're dreaming of warmer beach days, hiking, music festivals, dancing, and dining al fresco, then H&M's new collaboration that launched today (July 17th) needs to be on your radar — and in your shopping cart ASAP. British model, content creator, and long-time friend of the retailer Mia Regan has co-designed her 'dream summer wardrobe,' she tells Refinery29. And it's the versatile, travel-ready capsule of our dreams, too. While Regan's Instagram is full of editorials and fashion events, it also highlights her travel adventures and film photography. Often spotted in staple headscarves and hiking shoes on her escapades, Regan's lifestyle and style are reflected in the collection. As she explains, 'I wanted to design it so you could wear it to a festival or on a hike, or out to dinner or drinks with your girls.' From utilitarian capris, which came easily to her, to breezy pieces like a sarong detailed with her hand-drawn illustrations, Regan was hands-on throughout, submitting sketches and collaborating with the Stockholm team. 'I take my film camera everywhere,' she says. 'One of the illustrations is actually from a picture I took on an H&M trip in Portugal — it's me and my friend lying down, and I drew that.'

Regan Nordic Model Bill 'targets demand, protects women'

READ MORE Writing in The Herald, Karen Miller, a trustee of the religious group, said the law must recognise that prostitution is 'the exploitation of the vulnerable, who usually have little to no choice about it.' 'It is trafficking victims hidden in brothels up and down the country who have never been surveyed about whether they are in favour of being raped multiple times a day, but from the testimony of the lucky ones who escaped, we know that they did not choose this life,' she wrote. 'We should listen to their voices and do what we can to reduce the risk of women, men and children being trapped in prostitution.' Her comments come as MSPs prepare to debate Ash Regan's Prostitution (Offences and Support) (Scotland) Bill when Parliament returns in the autumn. The draft legislation — which has cross-party support — would introduce what is known as the Nordic Model, criminalising the purchase of sex but decriminalising its sale. Those convicted of buying sex could be fined up to £10,000 and face jail sentences of up to six months. Ms Regan believes this would reduce demand and make it safer and easier for sex workers or prostitutes to approach the police if they have been victims of crime. The Bill would also give women a statutory right to support to exit the industry. Ms Regan's bill would criminalise the purchase of sex but decriminalise its sale (Image: PA) Sex workers who oppose the legislation — which the Alba MSP has dubbed the 'Unbuyable Bill' — have warned it could be 'disastrous' for their safety. Last month, members of the Scotland for Decrim campaign, which was established to oppose Ms Regan's proposals, told The Herald on Sunday they believed criminalising 'clients' would drive them underground, increasing dangers, and ultimately making it harder for sex workers to leave the industry. Ms Miller disagreed. She said it was impossible to 'decriminalise prostitution without enabling further exploitation'. She added: 'It is a sad reality that abused and exploited young people are far more representative of the average 'sex worker' than escorts taking credit card payments from their clients. 'Men who buy sex are more likely than other men to rape and commit other acts of sexual violence. 'They often see prostitutes as being fundamentally different from other women and treat them accordingly. 'Verbal abuse and spitting are par for the course. Escorts may be able to refuse a client on these grounds, but most women do not have that choice. Even those in the most privileged position find their carefully drawn boundaries violated. 'Selling sex is never safe; buying sex is never a neutral act.' READ MORE While she acknowledged the Nordic Model was not a perfect solution, she said it was 'the best option available to us if we want to be a society that values the safety and dignity of everyone'. Lynsey Walton, of Scotland for Decrim, said Ms Miller's faith meant her perspective was skewed. She said: 'Religious organisations like Restore Glasgow often see sex workers as 'fallen women' who need saving, which is why few sex workers will engage with them and why their experience in the sector is limited to only a small subsection of those carrying out sex work. 'While sex workers do experience violence and exploitation, it is a simple fact that not all sex workers are trafficked or coerced, as our 10,000-plus sex worker members across the UK will attest. 'All groups representing sex workers, alongside international NGOs such as Amnesty, the World Health Organisation and UNAIDS, agree that the Nordic Model makes life more difficult and dangerous for sex workers, by pushing the industry underground.' Ms Regan said: 'Restore Glasgow and other frontline support services do not have the luxury of being comforted into inaction by pimp lobby PR framing of 'empowerment' and 'work like any other'. 'These services deal with the reality and consequences of the global trade in commercial sexual exploitation, inflicted on vulnerable young lives every single day. 'All frontline services that responded to my Unbuyable Bill consultation supported it, some giving detailed insights into the harrowing realities. 'I have a question for those conveniently ignoring the consultation's recommendations from our frontline support services, as they predictably try to discredit me and my Unbuyable Bill. 'If you want to feel worthy by 'giving a voice' to a select group of interested parties, why not platform the men who buy sex or those who profit from trading others? 'Let's hear their arguments for their 'right to buy' access to vulnerable women, girls and men's bodies.'

Scottish Government to consult on changing minimum marriage age

In a written question, Alba MSP Ash Regan highlighted to the Scottish Government that the UN defines any formal marriage or informal union between a child under the age of 18 and an adult, or another child, as child marriage, and asked what action it intended to take. Scottish Minister for Victims and Community Safety Siobhan Brown has confirmed in response that the Government intends to look into raising the minimum marriage age from 16 to 18. The Scottish Government will also consult on whether to legislate to extend the existing forced marriage or forced civil partnership offence so that any conduct with the intention of causing a person under 18 to marry or enter a civil partnership would be a criminal offence, including where there is no evidence of coercion. It is anticipated that the consultation will be published later this year. Regan said she is concerned about girls being left vulnerable to coercion and grooming in Scotland's current marriage system. She said: "Child marriage is a hidden crime, but I am concerned that it is very much a live issue in Scotland and across the UK. 'In Scotland, the legal age is 16 and no parental consent is needed. Campaigners have previously highlighted that this leaves girls vulnerable to grooming and coercion. "I want to see new safeguards to prevent coerced marriages for under-18s, to protect their childhoods and their life chances , so I welcome that the Scottish Government has confirmed to me that they will consult on the matter before the end of this year.' As things stand, Scotland's marriage laws are different to those in England and Wales.

No parental consent is required. The minimum age for marriage in England and Wales is 18. Previously, parental consent was needed for those 16 and 17 that wished to marry, but this was dropped in 2023. If you live in England and Wales and want to get married aged 16 or 17, you can get married in Scotland but this would not be recognised in England and Wales. The response to Regan from Brown said: "The Scottish Government is committed to consulting on whether we should legislate to raise the minimum age of marriage and civil partnership to 18 from 16. "We will also consult on whether to legislate to extend the existing forced marriage or forced civil partnership offence so that any conduct with the intention of causing a person under 18 to marry or enter a civil partnership would be a criminal offence, including where there is no evidence of coercion. "The consultation will also seek views on other aspects of family and succession law."
