Hood: A Year in Style

From headline events to every issue flying off the stands, Hood has flourished this year because of you. 2024 has been a celebration of connection, community, and unforgettable shared moments.

We kicked off the year in exquisite style with Deliciously Ella at Gleneagles Townhouse, toasted Margot Robbie’s iconic Chanel moment in March, and welcomed spring with a glamorous gathering at The Ivy in Glasgow. By May, nearly 100 of you joined us for a vibrant summer celebration of fashion and beauty. In June, we sparked powerful conversations around “invisible women,” before enjoying an intimate autumn lunch honouring Avant Skin Care. The festive season came alive with a sparkling shopping soirée at St James Quarter and a magical lunch at The Balmoral with the wonderful Sabrina Damiani. Connecting with our Hood community remains the highlight of every single moment.

Your enthusiasm and loyalty have also turned our relaunched newsletter — beautifully curated by Nicola — into an essential part of the Hood experience.

I’m especially proud to share that every single issue of Hood achieved a 100% pick-up rate this year — a rare and remarkable testament to the love you show for what we do.

This success belongs to you — our incredible 100,000-strong community. In 2025, we’re committed to stepping out even more, celebrating the fabulous women and businesses that make Scotland shine.

Here’s to a year ahead filled with fresh stories, timeless style, and even more Hood moments to treasure. Thank you for being at the heart of Hood.

Love, Emma x
