Anisa T x Zineb x Rashid x Rich Collection Bella Italia

On this week’s Midweek Reset, Anisa Topan moves through music, memory, grief and the legacies we carry forward.

Ahead of what would have been her father’s 83rd birthday, Anisa remembers the laughter, cheekiness and music that filled their family home… from Bob Marley, Motown and Michael Jackson to Bollywood classics and the extraordinary voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

The show also pauses for Anisa’s friend Gosia, a single mother living with stage-four cancer which has now spread to her brain. Her community is raising money to provide security for her son and support them through what comes next. You can donate to or share Gosia’s GoFundMe.

Elsewhere, Anisa visits Zineb and Rachid Lazraq at Rich Collection Bella Italia, the Hackney Road shoe shop revived when Zineb used social storytelling to introduce her father’s business to a new generation. There’s also Practical Magic 2 at Everyman Hampstead, HXXA’s new single Press Decline, St Joseph’s Hospice, the Children’s Parliament at the House of Lords and a look ahead to London Fashion Week.

Plus: a first look at British fashion muse Cora Corré’s new co-designed AW26 capsule for @marella_official—previewing exclusively in the UK from 17 September, ahead of its global launch on 19 September. ✨

With music from Alanis Morissette, The Smiths, Tricky, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Massive Attack, Wayward, Orbital and more—plus new music from Editors and Bloc Party’s Anatomy of a Brief Romance, including the rather personally titled 22.01.22.
