EDITOR’S LETTER

As is the way at Vogue, the August issue brings with it our first proper look at the season to come. Idling at the crossroads of trepidation and freedom, the urge to go out, the desire to dress up, to look ahead to autumn and imagine a life built on the alluring combination of plans and spontaneity once again, are all strong. But perhaps our feelings remain a little tempered by recent experience, too. Certainly, it is a more carefree life we crave, but one that allows our increasingly mindful ways of engaging with fashion to flourish. So it is only fitting that this issue is all about an important style concept: the key look. With many of us having stepped off the treadmill of “normal” life for a time, as…

EDITOR’S LETTER

For a pre-Tokyo Olympics story on Dina Asher-Smith, photographer Charlotte Wales captures the champion sprinter as a cross between 1980s American track-and-field legend Flo-Jo and Grace Jones on the cover of Island Life. Charlotte’s favourite image from their studio session? “Dina in the gold Versace dress. It represents such a powerful and inspiring woman.” Meanwhile, in the piece accompanying the shoot, Vogue contributing editor Ellie Pithers writes: “Zero other interviewees have ever brought me a spare coat, just in case I get cold, nor texted to make sure I got home safely.” “Simply put,” Ellie tells us, “I adored her.” “The red Proenza Schouler dress had all the girls on set dreaming about tropical summer nights,” says stylist Hanna Kelifa of this month’s Trends shoot. You’ll find this, plus summer’s best bralets,…

WHAT’S IN STORE

Maybe it was the surge of zinc and protein but, by oyster number three, I’d completed the self-checkout on my phone and a Pucci maxi dress was mine, ready to take home with me. Sitting back on the banquette at Native, the courtyard restaurant at the newly opened Browns Brook Street, I was hit by a wave of euphoria. That dress and I might soon be strolling around Giudecca in Venice, or making an entrance at a grand reunion picnic party. Being in a physical store in real time stimulates the imagination in ways that a doorstep delivery can rarely manage. The four floors of the Browns town house seduce with an offbeat elegance and charm. The Dimorestudio interior plays off floral carpets with metal cube shelving, while original Flemish-style frescoes…

Meng’er Zhang

“I really can’t tell you anything!” squeals Meng’er Zhang from her apartment in Singapore. The 34-year-old actor has been sworn to secrecy about her breakout role as Xialing in Marvel’s upcoming Asian-led film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. So, what can she reveal? “It’s going to be epic,” she grins. “I kick ass.” The daughter of an actor and stage designer, Zhang has largely worked in the theatre, in Nanjing – the city in eastern China where she grew up – and Shanghai. Wanting to broaden her acting training, she also studied in London and Moscow. Did she ever think that after two auditions she would star opposite Awkwafina, Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh in one of the year’s most keenly awaited blockbusters? “I’m still processing it,” she…

CUT, COLOUR, CLARITY and carat are at the heart of Pandora’s new Brilliance collection, its debut venture into the realm of sustainable lab-grown diamonds. The diamonds posses the same quality and shine as mined diamonds, with the identical physical properties of their natural counterparts, offering an innovative alternative for a new generation of diamond consumers. Weighted with timeless value – deeming it a worthy addition to your forever jewellery box – Pandora’s Brilliance release has limitless styling potential, as well as expert craftsmanship. The unveiling (exclusive to the UK) marks Pandora’s inaugural certified carbon-neutral product, recognising the supply chain, manufacturing, packaging and transportation.

Beauty lies WITHIN

Amia Srinivasan was relaxing with a martini when she got the call that told her she had been appointed the Chichele professor of social and political theory, one of the most distinguished university positions in Britain. “I may have been on my second,” she says today, laughing. They were well deserved: only a few hours earlier, the feminist academic had sat through a gruelling panel interview at Oxford, discussing political philosophy and what she might do with the post, previously held by some of the greatest intellectuals of the 20th century, Isaiah Berlin among them. “For me, it’s very important that we don’t think of political theory as something practised by wealthy white men trained in institutions [she waves her hand at the grand wood-panelled room in All Souls College that…

BETWEEN THE LINES GIRL ONE BY SARA FLANNERY MURPHY Josephine, or Girl One, is the first of nine babies conceived without male DNA at the experimental commune The Homestead. In search of her mother, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances, she reconnects with her estranged sisters, uncovering dark secrets about their lives. Sara Flannery Murphy’s second novel is a gripping and original exploration of sisterhood and identity. Published on 5 August (Bloomsbury, £13) THE HUSBANDS BY CHANDLER BAKER Nora’s is a seemingly delightful existence, but would her life be happier if domestic duties were shared more equally with her husband? While house hunting, she discovers a sinister elite community that proves a perfect life, and a perfect marriage, can exist – but at what cost?

THE LAY OF THE LAND

As a young photographer new to London, Jamie Hawkesworth knew the best way to hone his craft was to “hit the streets” and start photographing people. Every weekend, he would turn up at King’s Cross or Euston stations, pick a place he liked the sound of – be it Hartlepool or Land’s End – and set off on the train with a Snickers and a cup of tea, to spend several days taking portraits of what he found. In this way, without agenda and over 13 years, Hawkesworth and his camera made their way around the country. When, in April last year, Vogue commissioned him to photograph a selection of key workers for the July cover story, he realised it marked “a really nice end” to the project. Now, he is releasing…

THE LAY OF THE LAND

ONLY IN NEW YORK

After entering the Chelsea town house that 3.1 Phillip Lim co-founder and CEO Wen Zhou shares with her family in New York, it is befitting to learn that the English translation of the name Wen is “culture”. Her home, which she describes as her personal oasis of judgement-free serenity, is packed with artworks, collectable furniture (such as the 1970s Mario Bellini Camaleonda sofa, which she has acquired one section at a time) and music – note the 1940s Steinway on which her daughter learnt to play piano, complete with a pair of pearl-studded Converse sneakers perched on top. Every inch of the house is an authentic reflection of Zhou, her 19-year-old daughter Ming, 14-year-old son Zen and her partner Esteban Gomez, founder of specialist property firm The Creatives Agent. “I wouldn’t…

HER DARK MATERIALS

Loss is in the air, and the bereaved aren’t like other people. I see a lot of sadness in the streets – folk who seem to have a collection of features rather than faces. Something essential is missing. What do the bereaved need? It isn’t complicated. We need an extra layer of care and consideration. We need rest. We need praise. We need a calm environment. We’d love people not to expect anything from us for a while. No “Oh can you just…?” or “Would you mind…?” We need permission to get things wrong. (The downside of keeping busy is that almost everything you do will have to be redone.) We want people to listen without making suggestions. We might like to have our heads stroked for hours on end.…

HER DARK MATERIALS

A former rugby player and a “hopeless romantic” with model good looks and bags of charisma, Nicholas Galitzine was born to play Prince Charming – and this summer he stars as Prince Robert in a live-action musical Cinderella, along with Camila Cabello in the title role, Idina Menzel as the evil stepmother, and Billy Porter as the fairy godparent. Yet, speaking from his family home in south-west London, he tells me, “I felt so out of place on set, like I was a body double for Timothée Chalamet.” An engaging blend of his mother’s “overzealous Greek heritage” and his father’s “selfdeprecating Britishness”, the 26-year-old is incredulous about his impending stardom. “Looking unconventional with all my imperfections was my great fear going into the industry,” he says, improbably. The gifted vocalist joined…

As athletes around the world head to Japan this summer for the Covid-delayed XXXII Olympiad, here we find Vogue at its most vigorous. Nineteenforty, when Horst shot this striking cover, was supposed to be an Olympic year, too. Tokyo had been chosen as host (the first non-Western city in the history of the Games), but world events would frustrate this, and the next summer Olympics, the earliest of the post-war era, would be held in London in 1948. Spelling out the magazine’s name is Lisa Fonssagrives, the Swedish dancer-turned-model who, in 1950, married Irving Penn; together they collaborated on some of the 20th century’s masterpieces of fashion photography. If it is impossible to consider Vogue’s heritage without reference to Horst and Penn, it is equally inconceivable to imagine the course fashion…

Dreaming in jewels

I’m so excited to welcome you to the first Vogue Jewellery special. It comes at a point when the pieces we treasure are closer to our hearts than ever. For many of us, locked down for more than a year, jewels have become a personal escape and private pleasure. Many jewellers tell me that clients have come to them for that special piece they’ve always wanted and now have the cancelled holiday money to spend on it. Melanie Grant looks at exactly how this new imagination has manifested itself in the latest high-jewellery collections. Jill Newman, meanwhile, talks to the female jewellers who are rewriting the meaning of African design. But first, our contributors join the Vogue editors in sharing their ride-or-die jewellery – that piece they never leave home…

WRITING their own STORY

For centuries, Africa has been plundered for its immense material and cultural riches, first by imperialism, and then for artistic inspiration by the likes of Pablo Picasso and Suzanne Belperron. Jeweller Vania Leles says it’s time to rewrite the books that treat this complex continent as a homogeneous entity and use meaningless terms such as “exotic” and “tribal”. “There is an African proverb that says that until the lion learns how to write, the story will always be about the hunter,” she says. Leles is among a passionate group of female jewellers from the African diaspora who are reflecting that richness and diversity in their work, and setting new standards for socially minded jewellery brands, too. Leles notes that although many of the world’s precious materials originate from the continent, there…

Precious MOMENT

There was a moment last March when I almost lost my mind and the beauty of jewellery saved me. As the world descended into pandemonium, I ran to my local supermarket to stock up on necessities but found many of the shelves were empty. In shock, I went home, closed the curtains and put on my best jewels. It soothed my soul much like Kate Winslet in Titanic, donning the immense La Coeur de la Mer necklace just before the ship goes down. As daily routines collapsed and the world went into isolation, taste in jewellery design shifted to a purer, more personal connection with the art. Self-expression became all-important, and I can’t have been the only person who attended endless Zooms pairing big diamonds with flip-flops and ropes of…

Jewellery is born of myriad inspirations. Rarely, though, does it take the life of a man for its starting point. Louis Vuitton’s latest collection, Bravery, however, is as intrepid as its name suggests. Celebrating the bicentenary of his birth, it is a jewelled biography of the founder of one of the largest luxury houses in the world. Francesca Amfitheatrof, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director for jewellery and watches, is the brains behind the collection. Two years ago, she immersed herself in the house’s archives to discover the man behind the brand, the visionary who foresaw the expansion of international travel in the 19th century, and whose inventions, such as the stackable canvas trunk in 1858, won him awards and royal patronage around the globe. Further innovations, such as the tumbler lock and…

Authentic origins

What is wellness? An expeditious online search reveals one answer: “wellness” is a white, slender, able-bodied female, wearing expensive leisurewear, eating fermented foods (kimchi, anyone?), burning sage, mainlining green juice, nailing her yoga asanas, all the while saying gut health/healing/self-care mantras and overusing #blessed. It is a version of wellness that leaves little room for anything outside that ideal. The Global Wellness Institute prefers to define wellness as “the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health”. This rendering, however, also falls down. It fails to acknowledge the very real nuances of race, socio-economic status and lack of access – and it’s these crucial factors that determine who has agency in the wellness sphere. The reality is that for non-white people and non-affluent people,…

Rest, Exercise, Recover, Repeat

If your personal trainer has suddenly taken a step back from that hell-for-leather military schedule of HIIT classes, resistance training and long-distance runs in favour of less taxing recovery sessions and a spot of massage, rest assured, there’s a good reason for it. This new holistic approach to your workout regime may actually be more effective. “When you exercise, the body produces adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol in direct response to the intensity and volume of your effort,” says Matt Curley, head coach at Amp Athletic in London, where recovery time is actively encouraged and stretching sessions are a part of each workout. “The harder and more often you work out, the more cortisol is produced. Full recovery can take up to 48 hours, depending on how stressful your lifestyle…

Rest, Exercise, Recover, Repeat

Make-up sales plummeted; hygiene product sales boomed – that was 2020 in a nutshell. As if confirming what we already knew, a survey commissioned by the Health Foundation found that 86 per cent of British adults felt highly concerned about their health and wellbeing at some stage in 2020 as a result of the pandemic. According to Natasha Page, counsellor, psychotherapist and founder of My Little Therapy Box, seeking to build resilience in the face of a particularly indiscriminate virus is a natural instinct. “On a psychological scale, the pandemic has made many people reflect on their mortality,” she says. “An increased emphasis on our own health is to be expected. It is a way of people trying to gain a sense of control in an unpredictable world.” But it’s not just…

Season of discontent

We had lost touch since our kids left school, me and the two other mums I’d bumped into in the park. And as we tried to remember the last time we’d seen one another, a respectful pause descended. It was at the funeral of another mum. Let’s call her Aurora, because there was something uplifting and bright about her presence. Her smiling face comes into view now as I write about her, as clear as a photograph. Aurora had decided to take her own life, or perhaps “decided” is the wrong word, as it implies an action over which you have control, and this was, by all accounts, a sudden, impulsive move that would wrench her from the children she loved, and tear her away from the husband she adored. She’d…

THE EXTENDED RETREAT Amanzoe, Peloponnese, Greece While there were many advantages to not being able to travel this past year – not least for the planet – the craving for views of rolling olive groves, fragrant gardens and heat is too strong a calling to resist.

The spa has three new wellness retreats to cater for active and passive personalities.

ACHIEVING HEALTHY luminous skin doesn’t have to be hard. Just ask Dr. Barbara Sturm whose popularity with editors and celebrities alike is thanks to her skincare know-how and her emphasis on reducing inflammation in the skin, while incorporating ingredients – at the right percentages – which work hard to improve skin health. Take her latest launch: The Good C Vitamin Serum. Harnessing the power of a well-known active ingredient, vitamin C, she has formulated the product at just the right percentage (five per cent) to ensure the skin’s all-important protective barrier isn’t disrupted, which can lead to inflammation. While many of us assume that the higher the percentage, the better the results, that is not the case – and Dr. Sturm’s lightweight, advanced science serum is here to prove it. Made up…

WOMEN BORN WITH FIRE IN THE BELLY. If we had to choose a single phrase to describe the personalities who follow, that would be it. Take Margot Robbie. Our August cover star conquered Hollywood playing “the hottest blonde ever” in 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street, but pigeonhole her at your peril. The Australian delights in defying expectations, in smashing glass ceilings: whether she’s kicking ass in action movies or killing it as a real-life bigwig producer. Then there’s sprinter Dina Asher-Smith. Britain’s fastest woman was made gifted – athletically, academically, aesthetically (her shoot, by the way, features suitably glittering, high-energy pieces from the new season) – but, perhaps more importantly, she was also made determined. Elsewhere, we have the fearless Uruguayan designer Gabriela Hearst; and actor Iris Law punking…

“If I want something, I have to make it happen”

“Those scenes where everything’s exploding around you? Girls never get those” Imagine you’re running down a beach, she says. You’re running very fast down a beach, and if you veer to the left, you’ll be blown up. If you step on a stone, you’ll be blown up. “So you have to stick to your path.” Margot Robbie is suddenly alight with an unusual sort of joy, remembering. As she was running down this man-made beach on a backlot in Atlanta, at one point doing a tumble roll and landing on the only safe rock in sight, she was thinking, “Yes.” She was thinking, “I’m having the absolute time of my life.” She was shooting 2016’s Suicide Squad, the first instalment in the series of films about DC Comics supervillains who form a secret…

Precisely six hours before the starting gun goes on race day, Dina Asher-Smith can be found sitting in front of a mirror, wearing a Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask from The Body Shop. With a latte to hand and RuPaul’s Drag Race playing in the background, Britain’s fastest woman will apply various creams and serums, then a department-store beauty floor’s worth of make-up. (At least half will be sweated off during her warmup, so she over-applies to achieve optimal results.) The “getting ready” process, executed quietly and methodically, takes exactly an hour. Asher-Smith explains, “When I’m out on the track, I’m not thinking about what I look like. I’m just trying to win. But beforehand, I need to be calm. Doesn’t matter how nervous you might feel, if you need to…

Power & Purpose

“I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT FELT LIBERATING. THE DAY I SHAVED MY HEAD, I CHANGED MY LIFE. I’VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE” Iris Law is waiting for me near her family home in Primrose Hill. Where else? The only daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost is practically synonymous with this postcode. In the 1990s, her parents were of course the linchpins of the Primrose Hill set, hosting raucous parties and filling tabloids alongside the likes of Rhys Ifans, Pearl Lowe and the Gallagher brothers. The pace may have slowed, but Frost’s open house remains legendary – if a little more low-key. Law greets me like an old friend. When I, as a staunch south Londoner, mention that this is a part of the capital that I’ve never properly…

Gabriela Hearst is recounting an episode from her childhood that probably sums her up in a single paragraph. “When you grow up on a ranch, you don’t mess around,” warns the Uruguayan designer. “I remember being eight years old, and this huge tarantula shows up on the veranda. But like, huge.” Her hands indicate the size of a dinner plate. “And I didn’t call my mum or dad for help. You want to know what I did? I grabbed the biggest fork I could find and I lobbed it on the tarantula! My father used to tell me I have the courage of a puma, but this is the sort of thing you do when you grow up on a farm. Or if your horse suddenly takes off, if you…

Who wouldn’t want to spend the summer at the seaside – or any other time of year, for that matter? Owning a home on the coast has never been so popular, as people seek a more relaxed lifestyle away from the capital. ‘While the pandemic-induced exodus to the countryside has been well documented, it is in fact the UK’s prime coastal areas which are proving the biggest pull for those fleeing the city,’ says Philip Harvey, of the buying agents Property Vision. ‘The spike in demand for the best seaside properties has been driven by a renewed focus on well-being and work-life balance, heightened during recent lockdowns. Health benefits, more space and the romance of lazy summer days by the water are all key factors, with many buyers turning their favourite…
