Can a comma be placed after the word but?
In the following sentence I would have placed the comma before the word but, however, my colleague likes to place the comma after the word but. Do you guys have any suggestions?
According to Grazia, next season will be all about the fifties in fashion but, beauty is jumping ahead with the ‘Nixties' - a look that combines the retro look of the sixties and adds a touch of the nineties to spice things up.
Thank you for your help.
