LETTER
Editors
lways a reflection of the climes and times, fashion is particularly en pointe this
season. You could even say propagandist, judging from the seminal Chanel Spring/Summer 15 show, where Gisele,
Kendall, and Cara led the march of models brandishing megaphones, and placards with witty feminist slogans:
Ladies First, History is Her Story, and We Can Match The Machos. This brought new meaning to fashion
statements, given that the first eight looks were trouser suits (read: she wears the pants in Tweed not Tweet).
I clearly remember that breezy October morning, watching this fashion moment at the Boulevard Chanel in the
Grand Palais, thinking that this time, Karl Lagerfeld had really made a point, and not just a spectacular show.
In interviews, he cited inspiration from the 1968 student protests in Paris, as well as the state of womens rights from
the US to the Middle East noting Coco Chanel as fashions greatest inadvertent feminist.
Paris Fashion Week was also remarkable this time, for the unveiling of the newly minted Fondation Louis Vuitton,
yet another of Frank Gehrys state-of-the-art architectural wonders. I had an unforgettable interview with Gehry
in Los Angeles many years before, and this was somewhat a reconnection with his genius and charisma. After the
show, as I walked up the stairs of this voluminous sailboat-inspired glass edifice, dubbed a cathedral of light by
Franois Hollande, a cascading water feature beside me, who should turn around right in front of me, beaming her
megawatt dimpled smile? Miranda Kerr, absolutely stunning in a cut-down-to-there dress and the latest LV Denim
Twist bag, fresh from a BAZAAR interview. When the opportunity came to feature her on this March cover to open
the season, I just had to make it happen. More than being in awe of her babywoman beauty and knockout body, Ive
always found her healthy, organic, and real approach to life so refreshing. Shes an unexpected postermodel for female
empowerment, and even has two books to prove it read about her Kerrisms and state of singlehood on page 280.
Taking it from back to the front of this issue, we launch into a fabulous new season with an 88-page collections, trend,
and accessories report. Youll delight in page after page of stunning Spring/Summer looks and the most whimsical
accoutrements, all beautifully crafted as one-of-a-kind design pieces and artistic narratives (we love Anya Hindmarchs
talking bags). Fashion has never been so innovative and creative and intelligent. These are qualities youd want to
wear top-to-toe, as powerful statements of the women we are today.

This really set the tone for the season, so that, at the Harpers BAZAAR Reunion, held the day after the show, talk
was rife about fashion as a form of empowerment. Say Women Power!, exclaimed editor-in-chief of BAZAAR UK
Justine Picardie when the official group photos were taken at the Le Royal Monceau (also drama-ed up with the stay
of Kim and Kanye). Two months later, Justines brilliant op-ed The Language of Fashion landed on my desk, about
the conversation between feminism and fashion, which we feature to really emphasise the salient point of how style
can be a potent medium for social change (page 322).

is all about woman power
whether she celebrates her strength in
Givenchy and Alexander McQueen warrior
leathers; her sharp mind in conceptual Prada

Valentino and Lanvin silks and lace. Influential

and Tomas Maier continue to champion
intelligent wardrobes for modern, multifaceted women. By Jeffrey Yan.

If last seasons supermarket was Karl Lagerfelds musing on mass consumerism, this seasons Boulevard
Chanel was his take on how women dress for the real world. Which is to say, not restricted to one
trend, decade or key item. While the faux protest finale ended up the talking point, the real message
was the freedom to cherry-pick from this massive almost-90-look collection. There were vibrant
watercolour splashes on roomy, layered silhouettes and then loosely elegant safari pieces and dusty
pastel suits. Classic Chanel suits in black, white, and navy were peppered throughout along with more
special pieces, such as the tops and dresses that looked like flowers peeking out from under a
cobblestone street. Masculine pinstriped suits came on the heels of clingy sweater dresses and were
followed by sheer, ruffled white blouses as well as gorgeously simple monochrome dresses. After years
of designers dictating rigorous trends, this something-for-everybody mentality was the real revolution.

The Belgian designer set his new collection in a magical forest out of A Midsummer Nights Dream,
complete with dreamy pre-Raphaelite nymphs. His talent for colour, pattern, and layering was applied
to printed silk tunics, trousers, and shirts all loosely fitted and slouchy in that effortless, elegant way
of his. A sheer tank would sit under a mannish robe or a vest, worn with lounging pants; bold block
stripes went together with both faded silks and rich jacquards. There were ikat prints and then
pinstripes; furry bags and orthopedic shoes it was all wonderfully eclectic and clashing but Van
Noten made such a rich mix seem natural. He also had possibly the most romantic finale of the season
when his models wafted out at the end and lounged on the specially designed, moss-like carpet.

Peter Dundas travelled back to the
Summer of Love and returned with
sexed-up hippie chic. All the Seventies
boxes were checked: crochet dresses,
fringe, suede boots, sun-bleached
pastels, tie-dye, and flares galore. But
he also injected them with Dundas sex
appeal. Dresses were skintight and
cropped, necklines plunged, and his
trousers made legs look endless. He
may have closed the show with a dozen
flowing dresses in a rainbow of tie-dye,
but his best look was the very opposite
a skinny, flared suit in searing orange.

Phoebe Philo has loosened up for a
few seasons, but this time there was
an actual lightheartedness in the
dense fringe that swished about
legs, the frayed pink and navy
knits, and the gauzy trails of fabric
that wafted around. Accessories
were minute but delightfully
surreal; porcelain brooches in the
form of hands and mouths made
audiences do a double-take. It was
also the first time florals popped up
on a Cline runway. Not the dark,
cool kind youd expect but more
vintage-looking Seventies florals,
clashed and draped around the
body in an updated, compelling
take on bohemia.

Long coats to the floor, netted dresses, lush embellishment, and sculpted volumes; these might
sound like an homage to the Balenciaga archives but Alexander Wang is increasingly adept at
making the house his own. As an ultra-luxurious take on sportswear, these were one-percenter
party clothes. The athleticism came in the form of polo collars, bombers, and lace-up flats
that lent ease to intricate midi skirts. Even glamorous pieces such as the graphic mesh dresses
had a cool, downtown vibe that Wangs fans will lap up. As befits a storied French house, the
level of craft was high the embellishment and quilting on the clothes cleverly mirrored the
diamond patterns of the light-up floor but were worked onto uncomplicated, body-flattering
silhouettes that would look good even on curvy figures like front-rower Kim Kardashian.

Raf Simonss Spring/Summer 15 show was a
continuation of his last couture outing, in which he
mashed 18th-Century silhouettes with touches of
futurism. This tension between past and future (and
finding the now in them) led to one of his best yet.
His opening and closing looks were all white, but
they werent clinical thanks to the floral panels and
embroidery that dotted and cut through them. The
Edwardian pannier-skirts felt like something you
could put on today, worn with his minimal tanks
and sleek knitted boots. Even floral chintz managed
to look cool on Space Age jumpsuits and cropped
bomber-like jackets. One of his best old-new twists?
When he made intricately embroidered frock coats
of the French courts a serious evening proposition by
pairing them with plain tees and quilted biker
shorts. It all felt so simple and effortless, but at the
same time truly, excitingly new.

After the Forties-inflected collections of
the past few seasons, Tomas Maier planted
his Bottega woman firmly in todays busy
world sweatpants and all. His starting
point was dance, specifically, what dancers
wear to rehearsals and their elegant
postures. There was an easy athleticism in
the opening looks of cardigans, bodysuits,
and sweatshirts. The show progressed to a
dressier mood but the ease remained.
Gingham dresses were nipped at the
waists and trailed gracefully at midi
lengths. Full Fifties dresses came in
denim. The finale pieces were beautifully
embellished but Maier layered black net
over them so all that could be seen was a
faint glimmer, a restrained luxury the
very essence of Maiers Bottega.

Japan influenced several designers this season but Sarah Burton realised it in the most poetic way. She
looked to her personal collection of kimonos, although these werent delicate geisha girls. Flower prints,
cherry-blossom pinks, and teetering heels all received the subversive McQueen treatment. Burtons
geisha was also a samurai. Those shoes laced up like warrior sandals; the kimonos razor-sharp with slits
cut to bare flesh; the florals bold and in blood red; and pretty pink ruffles not tied by obi belts but
caged in black leather harnesses. Burton has a flair for dark, theatrical beauty but she also did straightup prettiness well; the flouncy pink gowns with pearl-embellished petals were simply exquisite.

Another ode to Sicily, but this time via Spain. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana
know their customer well she flaunts her curves in jewels and flowers, lace and fringe
and theyve given her exactly that. This season, shell throw on a little matador jacket
over her even littler shorts and skirts but itll be crimson and Spanish-embroidered or
black encrusted with gems. For evening, shell slip into a full-skirted LBD or a bustier
dress painted like a vase. Perhaps even a blood-red cape, heavy with fringe. But the most
delightful surprise will be if she showed up in slouchy blue jeans. Of course, hers are fully
jewelled the whole length and worn with little more than a lace camisole.

Many are doing bohemian

Seventies, but Clare Waight
Kellers collection ranked close to
the very top. It nodded to the
carefree, romantic vibe without
falling prey to the fusty costume
feel. Her clothes were pretty,
feminine, and uncomplicated
exactly what founder Gaby
Aghion strived for in the 50s.
Almost-nothing dresses in white
lace or dusty pastel chiffon with
blush-hued sandals were
perfect summer outfits. More
utilitarian pieces denim,
jumpsuits, suede jackets
balanced out the easy-breezy.

The magnificent Fondation Louis Vuitton and the futuristic opening clip may have set a high-tech,
high-concept mood but Nicolas Ghesquire was still interested in modern classics and beautifully
executed basics that make up a womans wardrobe. To that end, there were slim blazers, high-waisted
dark denim, body-skimming knits, as well as miniskirts and dresses pieced from high-contrast eel
skin. It wasnt all serious: Ghesquire lightened up on a series of looks printed with make-up, bags,
and household appliances, and flouncy, airy lace dresses with poet sleeves. Once again, the
accessories were standout; the popular Petite Malle returns in a larger, slouchy form and shoes
featured bright, rubbery heels cut in the shape of the LV flower. Ghesquire also riffed on the theme
of the season, presenting Seventies-inspired suits and flares in dazzling flocked velvet.

Kane looked into his past (both his time at Central Saint Martins and his childhood in
Scotland) for inspiration. The burgundy that dominated was from his school uniform,
while the rope motif that tied the diverse collection together was born of his fascination
with photographer Nobuyoshi Araki explored in college but never developed. This
collection was commercial (for him), with numerous twinsets, trouser suits, structured
bags, and track pants but there were also plenty of the witty statements hes beloved for.
Of note were the shifts and slips in cream and periwinkle bursting with tulle, and sheer
mid-length dresses with coils of rope that snaked up and down the body.

Like many others, Alexander Wang got the memo on high-fashion sneakers. But unlike them, he pushed the
idea far, reimagining them as clothing. Bodycon dresses had the colours and texture of a high-performance
shoe. A leather dress was injected to look like sneaker tread while a series of perforated whites resembled Adidas
Stan Smiths in dress form. The silhouettes were sporty and the fabrics hi-tech, but Wang also referenced the
old couture techniques of Madame Grs and Mariano Fortuny in his densely pleated crop tops and tennis
dresses. After a brief detour, Wang has finally returned to his signature downtown, sexy aesthetic, perfectly
capped off by the finale of high-waisted black satin trousers and micro bra-tops in multicoloured striations.

Enough with street fashion; Riccardo Tisci
returned to the sex and glamour of his
earlier shows. Disparate themes were
expertly combined for hard-edged sexiness
laced with girlishness and romance; clothes
for strong, modern women carried echoes
of medieval warriors. The level of work was
couture-like leather jackets came studded,
grommeted, and cross-laced; sheer lace
dresses overlaid with panels of leather, and
fringed tinsel-like sweaters were
embellished with giant medallions. It was
womanly, but with edge and frisson, a
welcome take on femininity when so many
were doing bohemian by the books. The
jewelled chokers and lace-up thigh-highs
undoubtedly topped many a wish list.

Christophe Lemaires final showing was a
beautifully thought-out collection of
serene wardrobe pieces. There was
everything from work to off-duty, citydwelling to exotic travels. The opening
looks of loose, creamy, off-whites set the
tone. Many featured a shawl collar draped
elegantly around the neck; the most
extravagant of which came in python cut
like cashmere. Lemaire is a pro at making
expensive, exotic skins look like beautiful
basics for everyday. The python bomber
worn with a silk shirt and culottes was the
epitome of understated luxury, while
those crocodile shorts were perhaps the
best argument yet for shorts-dressing for
grown-ups. He also drew from the culture
of travel particularly Africa in the sandy
and saffron hues, the lush draping, and
the tribal graphic prints but it was all
subtly done and elegantly filtered through
the Herms lens.

The otherworldly purple dunes and discordant soundtrack set a dystopian tone but the first looks were
familiar classics top-stitched housecoats, denim jackets, and knee-length skirts. A closer look revealed
ragged edges and strips of leather worked into denim. Almost every look went with heavy clogs and long,
printed socks. The clothes loosened and brightened up as the show progressed; dark denim gave way to acidbright brocades and lace. Miuccia Prada has always been fascinated by the humble and the opulent. Here,
she juxtaposed luxurious leathers and brocade with fraying linen and denim. A memorable look was the
Chinese-inspired dress of beautiful brocade and coarse canvas, with jewels embellished onto the neckline.

No stranger to theatricality, Marc Jacobs plopped a bubblegum-pink house atop his runway. It
might have suggested Barbie but the clothes were certainly tougher. Distinctly militaristic, there
were all shades of khaki, army green, and navy on rugged pieces such as combat jackets, cargo
trousers, and belted dresses. Pockets and buttons were exaggerated in size; the models carried big
backpacks and wore flat sliders on their feet. Then, he took the clothes out of the battlefield and
gave them couture volumes and embellishment the micro-dresses in satin, khaki-coloured
gowns, and poufy bubble skirts were especially lovely.

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are perhaps New Yorks best in
combining French-level workmanship with an aggressively youthful aesthetic.
Their latest had echoes of schoolgirls and uniforms but the sheer sophistication
of their vision elevated the all-American sportswear silhouettes. Leather anoraks
were colour-blocked and laser-cut, tees were seamed with hand-crochet, and the
accompanying two-toned leather trousers slouched just so. They also used
luxurious python extensively, splicing good-girl polo dresses with graphic bands
of exotic skin. Evening was simple yet seductive: argyle sweaters over crochet
skirts, as well as body-fitting tank dresses both ended in long swaying fringe.

Last seasons orchid corsages made a return, this time painted and embroidered onto dresses and leather bags,
and as leather ponytails. Fendi shifted the focus of its craftsmanship from fur to leather, and created
technically impressive pieces including a jacket that can shift from suede to patent back to suede, and printed
leather that looked paper-shredded. Fur appeared, too, but shaved into graphic patterns and overlaid with
perforated plastic; it felt light and summery. In fact, the whole collection felt distinctly youthful think sheer
panels, slouchy denim, pastel tulle, and the iconic Peekaboos shrunken down to adorable micro proportions.

The exploration of fashions past, future, and present has been recurrent this season. Carol Lim and Humberto Leon
joined the conversation with their cool, offbeat contribution. Future: the avatars PSA at the beginning, the Space Age
hairdos and goggles. Past: the languid 30s lines, the 1920s dropped waists. The present was in the sports influence
(always their signature) tying the themes together. The skaters of Lim and Leons native California informed the
extreme oversized proportions, faded denim, and large zippers. Even when they referenced couture volumes of the 50s
or 20s flapper dresses, the resulting pieces in techy-looking pastel mesh, worn with pointed, cut-out flats read as
modern. Pretty white lace also got the hyper-cool Kenzo treatment, with broderie anglaise cut in the house logo.

Its the brands 125th anniversary and Alber Elbaz honoured the milestone with a
collection that wasnt restrained by a particular narrative but celebrated all
facets of a woman. Proving that his designs are truly ageless, he opened the
show with iconic faces Violetta Sanchez and Amber Valetta, who
looked drop-dead gorgeous in simple silk gowns of black and white.
He followed with a series of understated suits, tuxedos, and
mannish trousers, some beautifully undone and raw. After
Kirsten Owens billowing, minimal goddess gown came
the decadent party frocks that are Elbazs signature.
They were riots of texture lace, ruffles, fringe,
giant pearls but they never overpowered
the woman wearing them, which is
exactly why Elbaz and Lanvin
continue to be so desirable today.

Jonathan Andersons debut quickly made this a mustwatch, bringing his genderless irreverence and
inventive way of working fabrics to this leather house.
Silhouettes were strict but textures ran wild pieces
of leather patched helter-skelter; waistlines bunched
and gathered; skirts slashed. These were balanced
with commercially viable pieces. The rainbow suedes
may have been street-style bait, but the butter-soft
trench coats, elegant trousers with obi belts, and
graphic knits will all be snapped up in stores.

Designer Michael Kors transported his audience to a hot American summer in the Fifties with a
collection of gently flared skirts, effortless striped knits, little crop tops, and so many pretty
flowers. They popped up as bright pink, green, and yellow prints on nipped-in, mid-length
dresses but looked best when painstakingly appliqud onto swishing tulle skirts and worn with
long-sleeved mens shirts. It wasnt all frolicking on the beach, though; Kors also showed smart
city pieces like boyish peacoats and blazers, cropped trousers, and elegant black evening dresses.

The set might have looked like a church but the Miu Miu girls sure werent church-going
lasses. These were 50s vixens with bad-girl attitudes. Most of the clothes were familiar to
Prada fans pencil skirts, housecoats but matched with a gleeful abandon in younger,
girlish pieces: crop tops, bows, and frills. Far from sweet, the acid-coloured tweeds, glossy red
leathers, and punked-up tartan all lent a subversive edge. And the shoes! Pointed beribbonned
pumps and sky-high wedges in loud jacquards made a fierce finish to 50s style.

Not for Hedi Slimane the romantic
early 70s. He likes bad girls and
decadent parties. Their anythinggoes attitude was reflected in the
eclectic mix of prints camouflage
with florals, brown suede over
Lurex stripes, snakeskin, and stars
all with glittering platforms. But
Slimane also brought French
craftsmanship to these familiar
pieces. Just look at the capes
embellished in complex patterns of
mosaic and dazzling fireworks.

Frida Giannini moved on from sweet 60s to 70s bohemian
glamour. Americana was on her mind; there were plenty of
denim, brown suede, and Western-style blouses. Adding to the
boho nomadic vibe, Giannini also drew on Japan for kimono
silks and Oriental embroidery. The collection felt more relaxed
than her usual offering a surprising amount of jeans and
denim shirtdresses for an Italian brand but the level of craft
remained impeccable. There were shaggy gilets that mixed
furs, shearling, snakeskin, and Swarovski crystals, and one
dress was expertly crafted out of dark green leather inset with
lace. For evening, Giannini proposed short kimono dresses
with the most exquisite beading and embroidery.

While Stella McCartney has always
valued comfort and practicality, this
season felt easier and looser. Trousers
were roomy and sat low on the waist,
shirts were oversized, and culottes made
striding a breeze. There were also
ribbed knits, silk jackets, and slip
dresses that looked weightless, but she
balanced them out with flat twistedleather sandals and chunky Perspex
chain necklaces. She also cut through
the wafting silhouettes and washed-out
pastels with flashes of skin necklines
dipped low and giant cut-outs sprouted
at the waists. Her evening pieces
continued in that relaxed,
uncomplicated vein with lightweight
pyjama pieces, and then billowy
slipdresses and sweaters in beautifully
coloured flower and lace prints.

Donatella Versace never had a collection that wasnt sexy,
but this time she stripped it back and injected it with a
youthfulness that made it fresh. For every bodycon dress,
there was a boxy tee; tailored trousers offset crop tops; black
leather found its match in baby pink; and mesh knits gave
off a sporty vibe that was new. Of course, her sportswear
came on towering Perspex heels. The tailoring was a
highlight sharp and graphic, punctuated with contrast
white stitching as were the Sixties shifts with kaleidoscopic
Medusa prints. Best were the cocktail dresses that combined
crystal and mesh with colour-blocking and peekaboo
flashes of skin. Sexy, yes, but also a lot of fun.

Alessandra Facchinetti served up a garden party but retained the sophisticated Italian spirit. True to her
earlier collections, these were clothes for real women yet she also pushed the houses expertise. The
leather work here was one of the seasons best hand-cut and patched Matisse-like onto bags or lasercut and embellished with giant pailettes, turned into breezy, summer-ready dresses. Facchinetti is also
deft at cutting a suit; hers came in sunny yellow, polished denim, and elegant florals. They will be as in
demand as the statement jewellery, all marble and crystals set in artful twists of leather and metal.

At first, it seemed like creative director
Consuelo Castiglioni had decided to
adopt a quiet mood for her brands 20th
anniversary. Gone was the vibrancy; the
clothes were serene asymmetrical layers
of raw-looking cottons and linen.
Halfway in, print and colour bloomed.
Castiglioni placed huge flowers and
foliage in the most saturated hues onto
full coats, leather jackets, and ruffled
dresses. These came on sandals with
thick, patterned soles or more
interestingly, wheels for heels. She then
returned to the austere fabrics, now
bursting with white cotton ruffles, and
densely embroidered and embellished
with crystals, glass, and flowers.

Christopher Baileys latest Prorsum collection was a cacophony of vivid summer colours splashed on texture upon texture giant
paillettes, shearling, lace, tulle. His outerwear of choice was the humble denim jacket, only in his hands decidedly more luxurious.
They came wasp-waisted with peplums of white feathers and shiny leather collars. The trench was printed whimsically like vintage
book covers. Underneath these were tiered dresses in ombre tulle worn with rainbow sandals or ever-youthful white sneakers.

Francisco Costa got in early on the long-over-long trend that is
fast gaining traction now, and he did it amazingly well. The
proportions were elegant, the layering felt natural, and those
fabrics were absolutely top-notch. Coupled with the precise
Calvin Klein tailoring, they took monochromatic colour
schemes and minimal silhouettes to the next level. Costa was
focused on one silhouette high, fitted waist and long, looser
hem a continuation from last season but lighter and leaner
for Spring. Navy was the colour of choice, broken by the
occasional pop of slick, dark red. Thick, high-shine platforms
lent substantiality to the light, flowy dresses and tunics.

Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri gave an utterly dreamy take on the tradition of the Grand Tour,
when 18th-Century English folk would travel all around Italy. They opened with easy daywear pieces and
strappy flats, practical enough for sight-seeing. Colour and print then seeped in via 70s-ish dresses with patterns
from silk scarves and old arabesques. Throughout, the duo maintained a youthful lightness through airy white
eyelet lace and faded pastel ruffles. Even craft-heavy pieces like capes with tiny feathers arranged into flowers felt
breathable with blue cotton shirts and shorts. Eveningwear, as usual, was a parade of spectacular dresses.
Inspired by the seas, Piccioli and Chiuri sent out sheer, weightless gowns covered in shells, corals, and starfish.

Jeremy Scott loves his pop culture and
hes moved on from fast food to every
little girls best friend, Barbie. From the
soundtrack to the first look out (hot pink
little leather jacket, big blond curls), it
was all Barbie, all the way. It wasnt
envelope-pushing, but everyone was
bopping in their seats to the sight of
Work-Out Barbie in her branded sweats
and dumbbells, and Pool-Time Barbie in
her terrycloth dress. Career-Girl Barbie
also made an appearance in her
sequinned suits and Roller-Skate Barbie
had everyone on the edge of their seats.
The accessories were bound to sell out

The marriage between Jason Wus ultra-feminine aesthetic and Bosss menswear precision has
been interesting, and Wu seemed more confident pushing his codes in his second season. The
clean lines of menswear still played a big part the crisp shirts and shirtdresses will be wardrobe
staples but Wu has also managed to bring softness into the clothes. Pretty pastels such as
buttercup yellow, lilac, and seafoam served as counterpoint to camel and black; and fabrics were
airy, like the diaphanous day dresses. A much-needed frisson of sex came with super-short
hemlines and leather skirts paired with gladiators. For evening, he kept to the same minimal
silhouettes but elevated in shimmery embellishment and geometric prints.

The show opened with a sensual short by
Paolo Sorrentino called Sand a perfect
introduction to graceful, elegant clothes that
came in dusky shades of the beaches and
seascapes in southern Italy. Giorgio Armani
built his business on jackets and trousers; here
they were ultra light, in weight and colour.
Like the long skirts and silken tunics
interspersed throughout, everything billowed
and flowed. Prints were softly abstracted like
ripples left on sand by the wind. A hint of the
Oriental came through in intricate dresses
worn over harem pants. No surprises,
eveningwear was exquisite monochromatic
dresses with beautiful beadwork must have
taken hours, but retained that lovely airiness.

Creative director Frida Giannini left Gucci

earlier than expected and will no longer be
taking her final bow at the Autumn/Winter 15
shows. Instead, her successor, Alessandro
Michele, will be responsible for all of Guccis
collections and global brand image. Michele
comes to the job with over 12 years of experience
at the Gucci design studio within various roles.
Alessandro Michele has both the qualities and
the vision necessary to bring a new contemporary
perspective to Gucci and lead the brand into an
exciting new creative chapter of its history, says
Franois-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of
Kering. The Gucci Mens Autumn/Winter 15
collection presented on January 19, which was
realised thanks to a remarkable collaboration
between the mens design and production teams,
is a clear indication that the brand is ready
to take a new direction, adds Marco Bizzari,

Intelligent women dominated the conversation at Milan Fashion Week with diverse but equally
strong collections from Prada, Marni, and Tods. With a farewell collection at
Gucci and young stars on the rise, Italy is starting to regain fashion buzz. By Jeffrey Yan.
he Italian fashion industry has been

making the news the past year, for
reasons good and bad. On the sunny
side, the Victoria & Albert Museum
staged The Glamour of Italian Fashion
1945 2014, reminding the world of
splendours such as Elizabeth Taylor
dripping in Bulgari jewels and Mila
Schns glimmering gowns from a bygone era of decadence.
Today, such glamorous excess is alive in the couture ateliers
of Armani Priv and Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda whose
gowns are snapped up by Middle Eastern princesses and
Hollywood royalty alike.
On the other hand, a cloud of economic uncertainty
loomed. The nations biggest brands reported slowing growth.
Important editors and buyers skipped Milan Fashion Week
altogether, seeing it as a break between energetic London
and creative, envelope-pushing Paris. Others attended, but

complained about the lack of new names and fresh talent.
Milan had its share of bright spots, though. In fact, the
best moments happened when designers cast the whole idea
of Italian glamour aside to focus on Italian craftsmanship and
to push the fashion conversation forward; even if sometimes
forward simply means out of the past and into the present.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Take Bottega Veneta, who did both in its own restrained

way. The craftsmanship has always been there but the past
few seasons have seen Tomas Maier focusing on Forties
references. His exquisite dresses with their nipped waists and
long hems were undoubtedly sophisticated, but they also
came off a little heavy.
What a delightful surprise then to see the first look out
at Bottega this season a long grandfathers cardigan layered

still appeared, but in blue denim and with mens lace-ups,
they would fit right into a modern wardrobe.
Creating a stylish, functional wardrobe has been
Alessandra Fachinettis forte at Tods. Her first two
collections were filled with unfussy, easy-to-wear pieces. For
Spring/Summer 15, she retained that wearability but laced
with more edge. Fachinettis best asset had to be the Tods
artisans. It took serious skill to present a summer collection
of 90 percent leather and make it believable. Here it came
in mint and lilac, cut as thin as cotton then perforated and
appliqud with flowers and pailettes. Worn with white tanks
and espadrilles, they made a strong case for summer leather.
Another house that did breathtaking leather work was
Fendi, but that was no surprise. What was new was how
youthful it felt. Previously, Karl Lagerfeld let women wear fur
without looking like they rummaged through their mothers
closet. This time hes focused that wit on leather. What is
more whimsical than a strip of leather substituting blue
eyeliner? Accessories, as usual, were outstanding. Orchids
were hand-embroidered onto leather bags, and spines of heels
extended into crocodile tails. The iconic Baguette, Peekaboo,
and Karlito were shrunken down to adorable Bag Bug sizes,
and given faces to boot.
The clothes were no less interesting. Lagerfeld explored
a hard-soft juxtaposition stiff patent leather was striated

veered from slouchy and boyish to short and sexy; these were
clothes that will appeal to the cool young set.
This season, that same group of customers might also
consider a brand they may have previously overlooked.
Donatella Versace has toned down and cleaned up the
characteristic in-your-face sexuality of her clothes. There
was still plenty of skin on show, but not through plunging
skintight dresses and loud 80s-tastic prints. Instead, it
peeked out from sharp black and white jackets, or boxy
T-shirts and athletic mesh.
Unlike Versace, Miuccia Prada did what she has
always done; deeply-thought-out clothes that challenge
preconceptions about what is beautiful. Editors walked
in to find imposing dunes of purple sand but the clothes
seemed normal enough. Prada never does plain old
normal, though. The models wore sturdy coats with
straight skirts and long socks but edges were frayed
and raw white cotton tufted out. There was a sense of
quickly-making-do luxurious leathers covered coarse
cottons, opulent lace was dulled and frayed, jewels were
sewn onto necklines, and brocade dresses ended in
rough linen. Was she trying to impose control onto a
world gone chaotic, or was chaos seeping into her wellcomposed world? Trust Prada to present a collection
that left you thinking long and hard, even if it didnt
immediately sweep you away.
The one who did send out a truly uplifting collection
was Conseulo Castiglioni. Her first looks came in raw
undyed cottons and linens, cut into elegantly oversized
silhouettes. The restrain in palette emphasised her artful
way with volume and proportions. Then colour seeped
in a pink trouser here, a striped skirt there and soon

the Marni we love was back, bigger than ever. Long coats,
midi skirts, asymmetrical ruffles were all wildly splashed
with supersized blooms in red, green, and yellow. Castiglioni
ended with a finale that was lush in both colour and texture.
THE TRENDS
The best collections had one thing in common; they

strived for newness, to reach a younger customer. This desire
to convey youth and a carefree spirit led to several key trends.
Denim for one was everywhere, even at the old
heritage houses. At Gucci, Frida Giannini sent out
slouchy denim with suede tops and jean jackets.
But the most exciting use of the material was at
both Bottega Veneta and Tods, where it was cut
into sleek and no-nonsense suits.
Sportswear was also key. Emporio Armani felt
fresher than it has in a while with shorts, crop tops,
and rompers, all worn with sandals and sneakers.
Dean and Dan Catens vision at DSquared was
more high-energy with super-saturated colours
and stiff bonded leathers. Structured sweatshirts
and polo tees were worn with basketball shorts
slung low to reveal the logos of their underwear.
MSGM Spring/Summer 15
Others had the Seventies in mind. Peter
Dundas at Emilio Pucci mined the decade for
party dresses in crochet and tie-dye. It was a
convincing take on bohemia, elevated by rich
materials and craftsmanship. Veronica Etro was a
little more literal; her collection looked ready to
walk off the runway and straight to Burning Man
with its kaftans and Navajo prints. Only after
fashion month ended did we find out that Frida

THE ONES TO WATCH
As one big name leaves, others step into the spotlight. That
spotlight currently shines brightest on Marco de Vincenzo
who has a talent for working materials humble and opulent
in fresh ways. Case in point: the dense but lightweight fringe,
the crystal mesh that was more polished than showgirl, and
his coat of checker board python. Balancing easy sportiness
with womanly sophistication, de Vincenzo is part of the new
wave Italian fashion has been waiting for; one who could
show the world what new Italian glamour looks like.
Another example-setting brand is MSGM. In these
troubled times, Massimo Giorgetti has grown his business
in the contemporary category; showing fun, relatively
inexpensive clothes in easy shapes and poppy prints that
stand out on Instagram and shop floors.
Alessandro DellAcqua is also successful at that high-low
mix. His N21 collection married glamour with quirk, and
mannish pieces with ultra-femme details. Just look at how he
embellished safari shirts and paired emerald lace with plaid.
All eyes were on Rodolfo Paglialunga as he debuted at Jil
Sander. His first collection was faithful to the archives, riffing
on navy and burgundy school uniforms for little sweaters,
crisp shirts, and culottes; adding in more conceptual touches
such as sculpted shapes and graphic asymmetry. It will be
interesting to watch him grow into his new role.

heady mix of English garden flowers and the

electric 70s defined the Spring/Summer 15
shows at London Fashion Week. Surface
textile was the star of the collections with a
lively play of laser-cut leathers, exaggerated
lace, and tiered tulle. Think A Midsummer
Nights Dream meets ABBA.
Tom Fords models strutted down the
mirrored runway in Debbie Harry inspired hairdos, flared trousers,
and glam rock trouser suits that gave off a very chic rock n roll
edge to the entire collection. Matthew Williamson and Peter Pilotto
echoed the theme with equally stage-worthy looks.
On the other end of the spectrum, fashions mood swirled into
Shakespearean with a twist. Burberrys Christopher Bailey armed
his models with swatches of layered tulle around their
waists in pretty bows. The entire collection was a
breath of fresh air with shades of lilac, moss green,
a dash of acid yellow, magenta, and soft shades of
pink. More exciting colours seeped into other
collections as well; cerulean and cornflower
blues made their way through the runway
looks of Jonathan Saunders and Christopher
Kane, while Antonio Berardi splashed on bold
hues of red. Mary Katrantzou shook things up
by sending out models in complete nude-coloured
looks with a mix of sand tones; the well-executed
collection of restrained play perfectly reflected the
Katrantzou we all love and obsess over, marching down the catwalk
to a hypnotic soundtrack by Sigur Rs.
A welcomed surprise this season was a one-off return of the
Marchesa ladies, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, who
celebrated 10 years in the industry with a magical show at Londons
Whitehall. The entire season came to a whimsical end thanks to
handbag designer Anya Hindmarch and her spinning neon tea cups,
metallic helium balloons, and glow-in-the-dark skeletons.

New York Fashion Week shone its bright lights on whats in

he stage was set, and a scene of trendsetters

descended upon the streets of New York like bees
to honey or fashionistas to Proenza Schoulers
much-loved Lunch Bags, as Spring/Summer 15
commenced with a powerful, eclectic nod to the
Seventies. The intoxicating thrill of walking into
the Fashion Week venues was heightened by mindblowing sets.
Marc Jacobss pink wooden house was ingenious, with the catwalk
curved around the house. The entire show was not only visually
stimulating but visceral with the added element of headphones that
everyone had to put on before the show. It was a brilliantly executed
collection that included cargo pockets, military greens, and soldierlike jackets with large buttons.
Jacobs was not the only one to tell a story via incredible
dramatisation. Ralph Lauren treated everyone to a 4D spectacle
in Central Park; Gareth Pugh indulged fans with an artistic dance
performance; and Opening Ceremony put on a one-act play at the
Metropolitan Opera House, directed by Spike Jonze and Jonah
Hill, starring Elle Fanning, Rashida Jones, and Dree Hemingway.
Diane von Furstenberg
Aside from the theatrical extravaganza, the spirit of the 70s
Spring/Summer 15
echoed throughout Fashion Week all over the world, and it began
in New York with Coach, Derek Lam, Anna Sui, and Alice + Olivia inspired by the
decade. Diane von Furstenberg made gingham cool again, as suede jumpsuits, fringe,
crochet knit, spliced fabrics, and uneven hemlines ruled NYFW.
On a sad note, there was the final collection by the legendary Oscar de la Renta,
who once said We live in an era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have
women been more in control of their destiny. Lusciously feminine and playful, models
Karlie Kloss and Malaika Firth walked down the runway in summery prints of flowers
and leaves with an added pizzazz of feathers, stripes, and gingham. The show ended
with signature Oscar de la Renta swirly dresses and the designer taking his final bow.
Truly, a collection to remember.

The runways are in full bloom this

season. Be they bright Pop Art petals,
loud abstracted florals, or soft bohemian
prints, they reflect a new optimism in the
collections. Trust Michael Kors to one-up
everyone by spraying his full tulle skirts
not with print, but a dense embellishment
of glimmering yellow daffodils. It calls to
mind the sophistication of the Fifties but
updated for the 21st-Century woman who
will wear it with her boyfriends shirts,
sweet pastel sweaters, or a cool white tee.

Miuccia Prada was the one who

demonstrated the off-kilter chic
of a clunky shoe all those years
ago. Now that everyone is doing
streamlined and sporty, she is
bringing it back as a fabulous
counterpoint to her sleek, tailored
silhouettes. The topstitching that
makes her dark coats and jackets
pop is transferred onto patent
leather straps. She also subverts the
idea of preciousness by wrapping
the heel and platform in specially
commissioned chintzy brocade.
In a season when the Seventies are
blindly reproduced, this is one of
the most daring takes on a staple
from that era.

Now that the Cline brand of strict

minimalism has trickled down to the high
street, Phoebe Philo moves on to a more
womanly, sensuous aesthetic. Similarly, her
smooth, rounded Curve bag is a pleasing
new proposition. Its textured leather and rich
brown hue lend just the right weight to the
swishing fringe and trailing fabrics of the
clothes. Philo isnt abandoning her precision;
the bag is sleekly structured and completely

Since Nicolas Ghesquire arrived at Louis Vuitton, the brands heritage

and especially its monogram has been a constant source of inspiration.
He challenges himself each season to find new ways to reinvent and
refresh the icon. His latest hit might just be his cleverest spin yet,
but it is also possibly his subtlest. Ghesquire cuts the flower from
the monogram into a bubblegum-pink rubberised heel, which he
then attaches to booties in luxurious eel and crocodile skins. Taking
heritage forward into the future one step at a time, indeed.

Celebrating its Roman roots, Fendis newly opened flagship store in
New York, on Madison Avenue at 57th Street, stands out from the

up in sumptuous tones with a mix of textures including wood, mixed
with marble and fur. New York is one of the worlds most important
cities when it comes to fashion, culture, and design. This new home
is a milestone in Fendis history,
says Pietro Beccari, president and

Silvia has such a distinct point of view and
impeccable taste, so she was able to really
hone in on what I wanted to create and
also make it feel like Fendi.
How does this bag

reflect your personality?
The bright chiffon and sequinned appliques

are a whimsical touch, placed over refined

The result was a strong 40-look collection that cleverly

answers the question of what real women want to wear. It is perhaps Philos
least cohesive Cline collection yet, but also one that has been injected with
new energy and lighthearted freshness.
Take for instance the florals. The old Philo would have edited them out
of her earlier rigid work. These werent like the moody florals of Resort 12,
printed on leather bikers and sharp pencil skirts. Here, they were loose and freeflowing in soft, feminine colours that called to mind the bohemian Seventies.
Under Philo, Cline has become the go-to for women who require power
pieces in which to charge forward. Now a softer side has emerged, clothes to
waft around and amble along in. The densely fringed and frayed knit dresses
which opened the show made a strong point. They were soft and romantic,

Philo might have loosened up and expanded but her work is still recognisable. The predominant silhouette
was long, lean, and graceful. She touched on the strong military trend with a pair of army jackets; hers
had graphic panels of high-shine leather spliced in. There were still plenty of the precisely tailored trousers
and coats that are the brands bread and butter, now updated with surrealist details such as an unexpected
cowbell tied around the waist on string or giant patch pockets. Some even had glaringly white porcelain
hands clasped around the neck or snakes and lips pinned onto lapels. It will be interesting to see Philo
pushing this richly detailed brand of minimalism and relaxed sophistication forward.

ensuous femininity, dazzling

colours, a certain softness
these are the qualities
that make Bulgari jewels
instantly recognisable. For
Spring/Summer 15 theyve
applied those very codes to
a comprehensive accessories
lineup that will find a place in the modern womans
hardworking wardrobe.
For her day-to-day there is the Bulgari Bulgari
collection of roomy totes that are structured for
practicality but still retain a gentle softness. The
handles are luxe golden chains linked through
the Roman coins that are the brands signature;
the length adjustable so the bag can be slung
nonchalantly over the shoulders like a gym duffle.
Big enough to transition from work to weekend
and in fresh hues like baby blue and apple green,
theyll liven up a classic neutral outfit.
Colour plays a big part in the new collection
with cues taken from the rich jewel tones that
are the brands USP. The Musa collection, for
instance, consists of boxy cocktail bags in lizard
skin thats been painted in the hues of amethyst,
rubellite, and topaz. These are paired with gems in
contrasting tones for their clasps.
Other cocktail highlights include the Serpenti
Hypnotic range a line of lizard box clutches
with the Bulgari icon snaking around the side, its
head and tail forming the clasp with gleaming eyes
crafted out of malachite, amethyst or jade. Equally
stunning are the Minaudire Melone bags, which

call to mind large precious eggs. If they looked like

theyve been intricately worked on, its because
they have. One minaudire takes an artisan up to
18 hours to complete. There is a piece that comes
in glossy black enamel and gold lizard skin in a
graphic Art Deco motif while another featured
Monete coins inlaid in sleek black and silver.
It isnt all precious evening glamour. The
Monete coins also pop up as a sophisticated touch
on more casual fare. The Monete Tubogas bags
come in a rectangular shape featuring a front flap
with the ancient coins set on a Tubogas frame
(the smooth metal tubing that Bulgari names its
chains) as its clasp. With its classic silhouette and
long ladylike Tubogas chain, its an easy-to-wear
piece that is both desk- and dinner-perfect.
But the star of the collection has to be the
Serpenti day bag. The snake is the brands most
recognisable icon, in the past worn by Elizabeth
Taylor in Cleopatra and today by stars such as
Naomi Watts on the glitziest red carpets.
For this season though, the serpent takes on a
more relaxed attitude; the bags have been refreshed
to fit in with a younger, more active lifestyle.
Emphasis is placed on colour. Bulgari debuts
two new shades a pop pink called Wild Orchid
and the creamy yellow French Vanilla. Longtime
fans of the brand might prefer the ones in scarlet
or emerald croc skin, but their daughters would
probably spring for the mini versions with their
youthful crossbody straps. And of course, Bulgari
is smart to design for both in mind with this
versatile collection.

ance was clearly a

subject that has been
on Tomas Maiers
mind. For the
Bottega Veneta Mens
Spring/Summer 15
show held last June, Maier showed a
strong collection inspired by dancers,
pieces that were about movement and
freedom. Similarly, for the womens
show held later in September, Maier
again went back to the idea of dance
as his starting point, but this time of a
dancer on her way to dance rehearsals
as opposed to the performance aspect.
The show opened with Edie
Campbell in a grey cotton yarn bodysuit
worn with a chunky knit cardigan coat,
setting the tone for the collection of
luxe activewear that came soon after.
There were double jersey sweatshirts,
washed calf suede trenches, cropped
wraparound cardigans in linen viscose
yarn worn with high-waisted shorts, as
well as yarn and linen trousers that were
cut loose from the waist and tightened
around the calves. A supremely tactile
collection, the off-duty dancer looks
were elevated with the use of luxurious
materials that begged to be touched.
The colour palette consisted mostly
of neutrals such as washed-out tones
of sand, light grey, blush, and a soft
yellow shade called banane thats new

w
at Bottega Veneta this season. A floor-length banane trench coat in bonded
d
cotton was made to feel like paper,,
showing off the creativity and savoir-faire of the brands artisans. Then theree
d
was the introduction of an unexpected
fabric denim. A humble, everydayy
material, denim at Bottega Veneta was
done up in dark navy, pressed stiff and
left with raw, unfinished edges. Skirts
were cut at midi lengths, some with an
asymmetrical hemline, with enough
fabric to give the dresses a soft flare,
reminiscent of a 50s silhouette. Twotoned denim dresses were also delicately
embellished with mesh and sequinned
embroidery, which carried on to the
evening looks.
Sequins took on a decidedly subtler
look in the evening dresses. Here, Maier
had sequins and caviar beads embellish a
canvas dress and then layered a mesh-like
fabric over it to create added dimension,
lending that sense of quiet luxury that
the brand is known for. Also, a mood
of athleticism ran right through to the
finale look, a floor-length T-shirt dress
in fluid viscose jersey cut generously to
evoke poetry in motion. The woman
who moves her arms gracefully and has
a dancers walk this is what I found
inspiring, says Maier.

The Chlo creative directors life by the numbers.
7AM When I wake I check to see where my dog, Harry, is. Hes a mini dachshund, and often sleeps right next to
my bed. Hes kind of old now 15 so he doesnt hear me, and if Im not careful, Ill accidentally tread on him and hell
jump up like a horse. He gets a shampoo and blowout once a month, but he hates it. Now because hes a bit slower, hes like
a vacuum across the park when we walk him; his fur picks up everything. I make him food twice a week, couscous and fresh
chicken. He is a very well-kept dog. Then I go and check on the children because normally one of them is still asleep. Ive got
twins, Amelia and Charlotte, who are 11, and a little one, Harrison, whos three. 7.15AM Im off into the kitchen getting the
kids breakfast. They change what theyre interested in more or less every day. So it may be something quite French such as pain au
chocolat or a baguette with Nutella, or they might go for a peanut butter sandwich or cereal its a whole revolving list of breakfast
opportunities. Ill have a cup of tea while Im with them, and then a fresh fruit juice with vitamins. 7.30AM I do a fast shower, never
more than five minutes. I use Aesop and SkinCeuticals products; and a lot of organic things, like Dr. Jacksons, a British brand; and
these French liquid vitamins in glass vials they sell here in Paris. I dont do a lot of make-up. Its some quick Laura Mercier cover stick
and mascara. I am low-maintenance when it comes to all that. I tend to overbuy on creams, though. Its a very French attitude the
skin is the most important thing. 7.45AM I think of what Im going to wear the night before, or it takes me forever. Id love to be
like a guy who can just pick up a pair of trousers and a shirt every day and off you go, but it takes a little more effort for a woman
in this job. I have about 25 Chlo blouses, a series of greys and neutrals. With shoes, its insane. Its terrible to name the number,
but its probably around 130 pairs. 8.15AM I walk Harrison to school. Hes always in a bouncy mood, talking about the things
on the street the birds in the park or the diggers or things like that. Its refreshing to have that innocent perspective in the
morning and not have to think about the day ahead. The one other time I get any exercise is on Saturday morning. I play
tennis in the woods at nine oclock come rain, snow anything. 8.25AM I drop Harrison off, jump in a taxi, and head to
the office. Thats really the first time I look at e-mail. We have a rule at home that we dont have any kind of electronics
at the kitchen table. Otherwise you can end up being like a zombie. I give my husband, Philip, a call because I
might not have seen him. Occasionally Ill go on Instagram. I mostly follow friends and a lot of fashion people,
Michel Gaubert, and a few surfers. My girls and I do a surf trip every summer, usually in Cornwall and a
bit in California, where the big waves are and the cold water. I dont like the sun so much; it becomes
irritating. I much prefer cold weather. 9AM When I arrive at the office, I check to see what I
have on. At the beginning of the week, its a meeting with my CEO. Then I come down
to the studio and we start working through the season. We recently launched
a new fragrance, LoveStory. When were working on fragrance projects,
theres a day that they come in with the different formulas.
We do an initial test where you spray it, smell it,
and give reactions, then they

take it away and come back

a week later. During that week you will
have worn it at different times to get a feeling of how it
changes. 1PM Were in France, so lunch is at one oclock on the dot.
Everybody vanishes and you cannot get ahold of anyone. Sometimes I eat
with friends at a restaurant called Market, with colleagues in the office, or at my desk.
I have something light, local, and organic mostly salad. This is normally the time of day
that I can answer e-mails and get my phone calls. I just have one iPhone, and everythings on it
its like a travelling library. I get inspired by all sorts of things, like a fantastic David Shrigley installation
I saw recently. Hes hilarious. I just did something with Jenny Saville; I collect a lot of contemporary British
artists, and Im often at the Palais du Tokyo here in Paris. 2.30PM I have my days very structured, so I know
exactly which day is for which area, like one that is just accessories and one that is just fittings. Maybe its a British
thing, but I always have a big cup of tea around. I hate coffee. If Im in Paris on the weekend, I love to go to the flea
markets. Im not too bad at bargaining I can be quite charming. Recently I bought a beautiful Murano glass lamp. The
style of my home is quite eclectic. I have everything from 18th Century to 1960s to contemporary furniture, wicker chairs,
and rope stools. I also love driving for hours. I have a very old four-by-four thats starting to cave in, so Im looking to get a Land
Rover. The only time I get to listen to music is in the car. Its a mix, from Coldplay to Neil Young, the Eagles, Wilco, Portishead,
Oasis, and Carly Simon. When I have my kids in the backseat, theirs is more Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding, Rihanna,
Lily Allen 9.35PM I call my mum in the cab on the way home. She loves to talk about astrology and tell me what she saw in
my sign this week. 10PM When I come home late, Ill eat something light fruit, perhaps and have a glass of red wine, which is
perfect to get that light buzz so Im completely relaxed. Im not someone who likes alcohol on a big scale. If I get home at a normal
time, Ill eat with my husband. Ill cook farro and usually something vegetable-based I havent eaten red meat in 25 years or
sometimes Im super happy to have eggs and toast. Philip is an architect, and he works a lot at home and travels to England once
a week. Well eat and hell tell me about his day and have a family catch-up. 10.30PM I finish putting the children to bed and
try to give myself that last hour. I dont get to look at books or magazines as much as Id like to, but I love shopping for them. I
read fashion magazines at work all the major titles, plus the trade papers, and a few niche magazines including Holiday, The
Gentlewoman, and Self Service but at home I read other stuff. Ive been collecting books for 15 years, so I have several thousand.
I love finding first editions, rare books, and funky, strange ones books of American T-shirts and books on wood that might
kick-start a collection. 11.30PM My bedroom is quite cosy and simple, mostly greys and whites. Theres a fireplace, a
mirror, a modern portrait, and one 18th-Century portrait above an Indian dresser. Philip laughs at me that I always like
having the TV on but never watch it. I enjoy doing a lot of things at the same time I might have a magazine next to
me and Ill be going through the Internet and checking my phone. I guess thats why I dont have problems going
to sleep, because Im so intense looking at stuff during the day that when Im on the pillow, Im out.
f Im in Paris on the weekend,

I love to go to the flea markets.
Im not too bad at bargaining
I can be quite charming.

Forget grey, pink is the colour of which you need as

many shades as possible. The best thing, all the
different tones go well together, either as little
accents or a total look. Opt for the latter when you
want to make an entrance. Layer different hues of
blush, fuchsia, and cotton candy together and then
throw in some texture via fur or snakeskin.

THE BRIGHT WAY

The street-style set has been toning down
their ensembles in general but ultra-pop
accessories remain a surefire way to get
photographers snapping. A sculptural
wedge here, a highlighter-hued micro bag
there; feel free to pile on as many vivid
statements as possible as long as the
clothes give an air of casual sophistication.
Statement bags? Been

there, done that. Trust
Karl Lagerfeld to
wittily turn it around
into bags that make a
statement, literally. His
collection for Chanel
was (also literally) a
riot of colours, flowers,
and messages. The key
takeaway though was
fashion liberation and the
slogan-printed Plexiglass
clutches said it best. We
especially adore the hot

Favourite shows?
When images from The Row started popping
up on my Instagram feed, it was as if a choir
of angels had started singing! I was in
complete awe of every single detail,
from the raw space where the show
was held to the clothes, pool slides,
and clean hairstyles. It was absolutely
divine. Another favourite of mine
was Rodarte. The fabrication was
just insane: How does one know
how to mix so many textures and
not make it look like workshop
remnants? The military and
sequinned looks just blew me
away. Pure genius.
Look youre currently

lusting after?

as flowing skirts and dresses in pretty silk

What spurred you to create your own brand?

After years in the watch and jewellery business, Id gained
tremendous experience but felt there were no real challenges
left. I envisioned creating a special watch, but never got
around to it. One day I felt it was the right time to get started
with that idea, and have never looked back.
Most important lesson youve learnt?
Relationships with clients are like love affairs; you have to
make sure you prove your love to them regularly, and you
also have to make sure they
stay in love with you. A very
Richard Mille
nice challenge indeed!
Whats the key to
Richard Milles success?
I offer watches with ideas,
concepts,
designs,
and
materials that no one else
in the market offers. For
that reason I occupy a
unique position within the
horological market.
Design counts among
your many sources of
inspiration. Architects
you admire?
Santiago Calatrava, with his
sensuous curving spaces, and
Frank Gehry. I also admire
Frank Lloyd Wright, who was
such a visionary. Then there
are French architects such as
Jean Nouvel, Jean-Michel
Wilmotte, and Jacques
Ferrier. These architects have
a special relationship with curves very much a part of my
own design vocabulary.
What are you currently inspired by?
Aircraft design; new jets and planes as well as older models.
RM
The watch conceptor on creating dream timepieces. By Cai Mei Khoo.
RM07-01
watch,
Richard Mille
What do you think

women want from the
watches they wear?
A watch that is comfortable
and easy to wear in all
conditions, made of beautiful
curves and the mechanical functionality that one expects
from the finest haute horological execution. In short: they
want the best of all worlds.
Who is the Richard Mille woman?
Singular, strong willed, contemporary, and someone who
enjoys living life to the fullest.
What else would you love to design?
A race car, a sports car or a motorcycle.
If you werent a watchmaker, what would you
have liked to be?
I am not a watchmaker in any way. I am a watch conceptor
with an unlimited love for technique. So I am already what
I want to be.
Your other passions in life?
Wine, women, and song!

they have shared a unique vision of making beautifully crafted combination jewellery. Today,
Pandora is sold in more than 80 countries across six continents through approximately
10,000 points of sale, including more than 1,100 concept stores. Its hand-finished creations
inspire women to embrace their individuality and express their personal style.
Were on a visit to the jewellers crafting facilities in Gemopolis, Bangkok, to witness the
journey of its exquisitely made pieces, including the well-loved customisable bracelets of gold
and sterling silver. While it all begins with imaginative, detailed sketches by the design team
in Copenhagen, it is here that the magic takes place, using specialised techniques similar to
those used with high-end jewellery. Standouts among these tried-and-true methods include
stone setting and the shaping of Murano glass.
Firstly, the stones are scrutinised, graded, and checked for size, shape, and quality.
Combining contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship, they are set individually by
hand by skilled gemsetters. Of note is the classic bead setting, where each carefully selected

stone is seated in a concave depression and surrounded by small, polished metal beads.
Its a prominent feature in the Spring 2015 collection; the stunning butterfly wing
pendant of sterling silver involved setting up to 188 individual cubic zirconias. The
abstract butterfly series captures the ethereal movement and spirit of a butterfly in
flight, depicted from an unusual angle with stylised cut-out silhouettes, says Lee
Antony Gray, Pandoras VP and creative director.
Then theres Murano glass, produced on the Italian island of Murano for more than
1,200 years. Large, bubbling hot lumps of coloured glass are handled and shaped on a
steel table by a specialist glassmaker. Another craftsman then places a metal object on the
glass and slowly walks about 20 metres, transforming the glass into a long, thin rod. These rods
are then neatly trimmed and wrapped, and shipped to Thailand where they are transformed
into myriad charms, each more covetable than the next. As I myself discovered, such skills
Traditional stonesetting instruments
take pinpoint precision, the steadiest hands, and years of experience to master.
This season, Pandora has taken the Murano glass charm to new heights in a spectacular
collection that immediately calls to mind the cheerful orchestral motifs of Beethovens famed
Pastoral Symphony. Paying tribute to the magic of nature, each charm is a miniature stilllife installation, an incredible immortalisation of springtime called Wild Flowers. It gives
the effect of a small world within the glass, explains Gray. On a sterling silver core, delicate
wildflowers, fine stems, and fresh green leaves as well as layers
of crisp colours are intricately placed by hand inside the glass.
Sparkling cubic zirconias are also suspended in the flowers to

create the effect of shimmering dewdrops.
To create just one Wild Flowers Murano glass charm, we use over 50 different
processes, reveals Gray. It has taken us several seasons to finally get this technique
right. No doubt a considerable amount of time for just one piece of jewellery. And
yet, as we contemplate the way light dances across the embedded dazzle, reminiscent
of all the wonders of springtime, its clear no one would have had it any other way.

The act of wearing lipstick may be empowering

is also crucial in asserting power through

a veritable list of women who owe both their

in an album called Red, as well as in her new song Style, in which she sings:

classic thing that you like We never go out of style.
Red lipstick can look quite classic, agrees Wendy Rowe, but if you wear
it with sun-warmed skin and very simple make-up on the eyes, it suddenly
becomes something modern. The make-up maestro, who runs the scene
backstage at every Burberry Prorsum show alongside CEO Christopher Bailey,
has given the latest seasons girls gorgeous matt brick-red lips, leaving the skin
polished to allow that glorious summer glow to shine through.

COOL TI P
Choosing the right colours according to your skin tone (warm or cool)
helps to create a healthy glow; the wrong colours make your skin look
dirty and worse, sickly. To determine your undertone, use silver and gold
aluminium foil and hold them up against your skin. Take pictures, then
look through to decide which colour makes you look healthier. If its
gold, youve got warm undertones; if its silver, you are cool.

TO CORRECT AND
PREVENT DARK SPOTS
FACT
You cant escape the sun. This means at some point

during the day, you will be exposed to its harmful
rays as well as other environmental aggressors that
wreak havoc on your skin. Even if you are diligent when it comes to sun protection
(and by diligent we mean reapplying your sunscreen every two hours; make-up
with SPF doesnt count), there are other pigmentation-inducing culprits to consider
hormones, stress, ageing, to name a few.
As if thats not enough cause for alarm, science now tells us that even when we
are out of the sun, our skin still continues to suffer its harmful effects. During the
day, skin accumulates damage from multiple assaults that trigger melanin
production, leading to spots and hyper-pigmentation. Come nighttime, the same
trigger continues, leading to even more dark spots and serious discolouration over
time. This explains why those little brown specks may appear within days after your
beach weekend while pigmentation reveals itself years later as the result of long-term
sun damage. Those dark spots are persistent and may never fade.

If you are going

for fresh-faced ingnue,
you should use a glossy lightcoverage foundation. If a professional
look is what you want, I recommend
using a more matt foundation with high
coverage. When youre testing colours,
apply foundation right around your
jawline. If the colour blends in with
the skin on your face and neck,
you know you have a match.

This
line
sspecifically fights against
agei
ageing signs seen on fragile,
delicate skin. Now, we combine this
with the White Rose elixir to get the best
of anti-ageing and brightening.
As Cachin recalls, We found that the White Rose, which
grows in the Dior Garden, seemed so different from the other
roses. We began to extract it in oil form, and discovered that
it had actual efficacy on the dermis fibroblast.
This formula is more of a preventive action within the
skin, she adds. Thanks to this technology we can target the
fibroblasts and prevent the reappearance of melanin.
Notes Cachin, Prestige White provides biological
protection it acts to reduce pro-pigmentation messages in
the dermis. Of course, you should still use SPF all day long.
As with all Dior beauty products, the collection has
a luxurious texture and scent to leave skin feeling velvety
smooth and smelling of roses. Dior has also created an
exclusive new vector to allow deeper penetration beyond the
epidermis, divulges Cachin. The White Rose Pearls contain
the formula in a unique water-based structure that, when
activated, blends perfectly into the dermis. These vectors are
like molecules that burst open when applied onto the skin,
instantly melting deep into pores.
When we say whitening, it is not about merely whiter
skin, explains Cachin of Diors aim

LUMINESCENCE
Glowing, even toned,
naturally beautiful
skin. With the latest
from Nars, the All Day
Luminous Weightless
Foundation, one drop is
all it takes for full, natural
coverage with featherlight, 16-hour wear.
Why did you decide to create

a weightless formula?
How is All Day Luminous

Weightless Foundation
different from other
Nars foundations?
Beautiful skin is the key to modern

make-up. Ive always hated the idea of
foundation at least in the traditional
sense. I believe it should disappear into
your skin. All Nars formulas do this.
Its the first time weve ever done

a high-coverage foundation. We
waited for the right moment when
true weightless innovation was finally
available. It had to be comfortable,
high-coverage, and incredibly longlasting. The formula really had to be
perfect. Its high-performance but still
very soft and natural.
Your greatest challenge with

this new creation?
The challenge with creating longwear foundation is that it tends to be
heavy. I dared our chemists to invent
two technologies that work together
to create something entirely new, a
foundation thats high-coverage, longwearing, and truly weightless. Its a very
unexpected and exciting formula. You
can perfect the skin without the weight
or look of traditional foundation.
Your make-up philosophy?

You should always look like you are
not wearing foundation. Enhance and
perfect, but never mask. You dont
want someone to comment on your
foundation; you want them to comment
on your beauty. Complexion is key.
The first step to beautiful make-up is
beautiful skin. If the skin looks beautiful,
everything else will look great. Think of it
as the canvas for your make-up.
How would you describe the

coverage and the finish of
this product?
Franois Nars
BEHIND THE DREAM

COMPLEXION
Franois Narss approach to
make-up is to reinforce his
minimalist technique, enhancing
the skins natural beauty at every
step. Here, he sheds light on his
latest creation.
It offers higher coverage than anything

weve created before, going beyond
medium to absolute, full coverage
that doesnt mask the skin. Its actually
shocking how lightweight the feel is.
And the effect is very soft and diffused.
Finally, your thoughts on

foundation application?
Be light-handed when youre applying;
its not about quantity its about how
you apply. The skins natural highlights
should shine through. You should notice
the woman first, not her make-up.
You dont want someone to

comment on your foundation;
you want them to comment on
your beauty. Franois Nars

ONE DROP, PURE PERFORMANCE

Expect instant polished
perfection in a single,
weightless drop.
Nars All Day Luminous Weightless

Foundation delivers full,
natural-looking coverage with
unexpectedly weightless, 16-hour
wear. Ideal for all skin types, it is
available in 12 different shades.
Truly revolutionary, the new

formula features two unique
make-up technologies.
1. Weightless Long-wear Technology

blends flexible polymers and treated
pigments that move with skin for light,
long-lasting wear.
2. Even Tone Technology neutralises
redness, dullness, and discolouration.
Its gorgeous packaging is a

study of elegance.
Designed in conjunction with longtime

collaborator Fabien Baron of the
famed New York design firm Baron
& Baron the bottle also features an
advanced pump that dispenses the
exact amount of product needed to
perfect the entire face.
Application is super-easy.
First, shake well and pump one drop

onto the back of your hand. Using your
fingers, blend foundation from the
centre of the face and work outward
in sections. Gently press it into your
skin, using the warmth of your fingers
as you go, for the most natural-looking
coverage. Hello, perfect skin!

HER DEFINITION OF BEAUTY
Its a combination of something authentic,

settled, genuine, and light. Kindness and a
lack of self-regard.
BEAUTY MEETS FASHION
There is a constant dance or hide-andseek in fashion, which must strive to go

forward with the established elements of
classical beauty. The relationship is alive
and jumping. Now you see it, now you
dont. The wonderful thing is how limitless
the field is, how boundless. In fact, our
ideas of beauty can basically be anything.
Beauty is everywhere and belonging to
every one of us.

Miranda Kerr channels 70s chic in new-season Louis Vuitton, and talks
about motherhood, building a global beauty empire, and why shes happy
being single. By Kellie Hush. Photographed by Kai Z Feng.
m waiting for Miranda Kerr in the lobby

of the newly renovated Peninsula Hotel
in Paris, as Im hitching a ride with the
supermodel to Louis Vuittons Spring/
Summer 15 show. The fashion gods are
smiling its a perfect autumn day with
no heavy overcoat required. Kerr is still in
her suite, running a little late. The night
before, she was burning the midnight
oil at Harpers BAZAAR global fashion
editor Carine Roitfelds belated birthday
party with 1,000-plus guests including
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Balmains
Olivier Rousteing, Cara Delevingne,
Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Kim
Kardashian, Kanye West, Givenchys
Riccardo Tisci, Chanels Karl Lagerfeld,
Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez.
Many things have changed at Louis Vuitton since Nicolas
Ghesquire replaced Marc Jacobs as creative director in 2013, but
one thing remains the same: if the show invitation states 10am sharp,
it means 10am sharp. Arrive five minutes late and youll be locked
out, your seat filled. It doesnt matter who you are. So Im getting a
little twitchy and have missed two calls
from an equally twitchy Louis Vuitton
publicist, who I know is checking
whether were en route to the show venue.
When Kerr does finally arrive in the
foyer, its obvious as every set of eyes turns
towards the lift. The Australian beauty
is looking every bit the global superstar,
dressed in a little black dress with a deep
plunging neckline, leather leggings, and
a camel trench thrown over her shoulders
(all Louis Vuitton). She towers above
her small entourage (assistant, publicist,
and manager) in sky-high heels and is
looking more lean and toned than when
we last caught up in Sydney.
Kerr knows were tight for time and
gives me a warm hug and a peck on each cheek as we rush outside
into the waiting limousine. I only just woke up, so sorry, she
apologises (I know many things about Kerr; one is she loves her
sleep!). Her assistant, Kristal, passes her a bottle filled with what can
only be described as brown sludge. I drink it daily, Kerr offers after
she sees the face I pull. When Im travelling, I make little baggies
at home for each day and ask the hotel to blend it with coconut
water. If they cant, I sometimes just shake it up with water. (I know
youre dying to know what is in the magic potion: maca powder,
chia seeds, raw cacao, goji berries, Sunwarrior vegetarian protein
powder, acai powder, vitamin D3, DHA, Celergen, probiotics,
spirulina, and Primal Force, which sometimes makes it taste bad,
so I dont add it.)
After the concoction, we search our bags for a mint (for Kerr) and
a tissue (for me). Kerr is carrying the never-seen-before Louis Vuitton
Denim Twist bag, which will make its debut on the runway in less
than 30 minutes. Since Ghesquire became creative director, Kerr
has become an unofficial ambassador for the brand, walking the red
carpet at Louis Vuitton events around the globe. Their history dates
back to 2009 when Kerr walked in Ghesquires Balenciaga show,

which turned fashion heads since Kerr had always been considered a
commercial girl, not a true fashion girl.
Nicolas has believed in me from the very beginning and Ive
worked with him before I was pregnant, when I was pregnant, and
after I had Flynn, Kerr says. Hes such a beautiful person and such
a creative and talented human being. Hes genuine, and I appreciate
that about him, and he appreciates that about me. Its good to have
that kind of connection with someone whos also following their
passions and dreams, and expressing themselves in the world in the
way they want to.
Kerr adds that photographers Willy Vanderperre and Steven
Meisel also saw beyond the Victorias Secret Angel wings. The
three of them were the ones who really believed in me and gave
me a chance when nobody else would. I was put into a commercial
category because thats how I started, but Nicolas said, Nope, I really
believe in her, and he knows how much I appreciate that because I
have told him. He actually really likes Kora as well. Hes a sweetheart
and has great skin!
So what is it like to be Miranda Kerr? When we arrive at the
new Frank Gehry-designed Fondation Louis Vuitton gallery for
the show, I get a tiny glimpse. As we prepare to get out of the car,
Kerr takes one last look in her small vanity mirror, adds a bit more
powder to her nose, then turns to me
and asks if she looks OK. (Seriously, Ive
known Miranda for a while now and I
dont think she has ever looked so happy,
fit, and beautiful being 31 and single
suits her.)
We step out of the car and I adjust
her bag strap so it stops sliding off her
lean shoulder, and off she walks, picture
perfect, towards the massive pack of
photographers, bloggers, and fans
sprinting towards her waving cameras
and smartphones, shouting Miranda,
Miranda! Images of Kerr arriving at
Louis Vuitton instantly circulate around
the globe. My phone begins ringing
its the Louis Vuitton PR again: Yes,
Miranda Kerr has arrived.
Three months after our trip to Paris, we catch up over the phone.
Kerr is just back from holidays and in 24 hours will be back at work
juggling her global schedule. Last year she moved from New York
to Los Angeles with her much-adored son, Flynn. Her ex Orlando
Bloom is also now based in LA and like Gwyneth Paltrow and
Chris Martin, who live across the road from each other in LAs
Brentwood Bloom lives a stones throw from Kerr. Its proving to
be, for now, the perfect solution for two doting parents.
Its really nice that Orlando and I now live so close to each other,
and its a really good life for Flynn, Kerr says. I cant believe he
turned four the other day! How quickly that time has gone. I look
at him every day and say, Youre just growing and growing and
Where has my little baby gone? And he says, Im here, Mama. Hes
just become this little sponge, learning new words, and he comes
out with the funniest things. The other day I was doing yoga on a
paddleboard and he was with my mum on a kayak nearby, and he
yells to me, Mum, thats so inappropriate. Im like, Excuse me?
I was just doing a downward dog!
What Im trying to
do right now, as Ive
always been the girl
with the boyfriend, is
to find that comfort
within myself. Its easy
to always look to other
people to lift us up.
I want to be the best version of myself, and

hopefully encourage others to do the same.
Top; skirt; and boots,

all from Louis Vuitton.
The yoga Kerr practises is Kundalini (a variety focused on

awareness, it aims to cultivate the creative and spiritual potential of
a person to uphold values, speak truth, and embrace the compassion
needed to serve and heal others), which she credits with helping her
overcome the challenging times in her life.
The power of the breath [can help us] to get through things
even with jet lag its helpful. Our mind is so powerful. We can create
heaven or hell for ourselves, and ultimately we do have the choice.
Ive learnt we can help ourselves by changing our thoughts. We can
look at things in a negative way or we can say, Yeah, something bad
has happened, but I can gain insight and growth from that.
If youre not a spiritual person, you may cringe at some Kerrisms,
but behind the ethereal veneer is an astute businesswoman. By 2013,
Kerr had split from Victorias Secret and David Jones because the
roles demanded too much of her time and saw her on a plane almost
every other week. She now chooses jobs strategically, and currently
has collaborations and contracts with clients including Royal Albert,
Swarovski, and Reebok. Her organic skincare range, Kora, has also
expanded globally and remains a huge focus for the model.
Kerr was unquestionably ahead of the curve when she launched
the brand in 2009. Many have tried to follow Koras success, which
is no doubt due to the authenticity of its creator and the fact she is
a living, breathing billboard for the range. Kerr admits that when
she has her businesswoman hat on, she does sometimes find it
challenging. Im quite a sensitive person and having that kind of
strength is something I have had to continuously work on, because
there are decisions you have to make which are hard. You want to
always make people happy, and Im one of those people who actually
likes to make people happy all the time. I want the best for everyone
around me.
Kerrs also passionate about her self-help books and tells me shes
currently planning two or three follow-ups to her titles Treasure
Yourself and Empower Yourself. I tell her that a Miranda Kerr dating
book would no doubt be a bestseller. A big belly laugh is her response.
For the record, Im single. What Im trying to do right now, as Ive
always been the girl with the boyfriend, is to find that comfort within
myself. Because its quite easy to always look to other people to lift
us up or make us feel better about ourselves. At the end of the day,
its really important to be comfortable with your own company and
to feel good about that and not have to rely on anyone else. Its why
I really like doing Kundalini yoga, praying, and meditating, because
every day Im trying to refine myself. I want to be the best version of
myself, and hopefully encourage others to do the same.
Ideally, Id like to open my own health centre that has a lot of
healing modules [on what] I have discovered and picked up along
the way. Id love to work on establishing that so women can come
there when theyre feeling overwhelmed. I feel women put so much
pressure on themselves, which is what I was trying to say about the
dating advice. It is OK sometimes to be vulnerable. I feel as women
we so often say, No, its fine, Im fine! I dont know too many people
who encourage others to really express their emotions, but thats
something I like to do with my friends and family. Express your
feelings and dont be afraid of them or [feel you] have to be on top of
everything all the time. The perfect Kerrism to end on.

wanted Elaine to have a taste, an

understanding of my world. Africa is a
wild place, beautiful, yet complex, says
chiropractor Dr. Nick Boden, 38, who swept
TV host and actress Elaine Daly off her feet,
not once, but thrice. For not only was there
the garden wedding in the hills of Genting,
where the bride and grooms closest friends
celebrated their nuptials, and traditional
Chinese tea ceremony with royalty-studded
reception, but Nick whisked his bride off to his homeland
of Africa for an intimate ceremony replete with Zulu choir,
Sibhaca tribal dancers, and spiritual Sangoma blessings.
Elaine, 38, admits theirs was a bona fide fairy tale, a whirlwind
courtship. Friends who knew wed be perfect for each other
arranged a soire last March where surprise, surprise we were the only singles. Within months,
cute couple pictures popped up on their Insta-feeds. By December they were exchanging vows.
The plan, reveals Nick, was to have a traditional African ceremony filled with cultural
influences from my past. I had a pretty unorthodox upbringing. We originated from South Africa,
but my father, a teacher, was fundamentally opposed to apartheid. When I was about 10 he moved
the family across the border to Swaziland, where he started a school that accepted all races and
cultures. I grew up learning tribal dances and even speak the language of the land, Siswati, which
would have been unheard of back in Johannesburg. I suppose thats why when I ultimately found
myself in Malaysia years later it was a coming home of sorts. Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures
and ethnicities, cuisines and spiritualities, and I fit right in, having found myself in Kuala Lumpur
through a series of coincidences, says Nick, who after 11 years here now owns his own chiropractic
clinic with a veritable A-list clientele.
Nick flew Elaine into South Africa first for a little time together before the wedding and
to show her his old haunts. As an adult he returned to
South Africa to start his university education in Durban.
A traditional Zulu choir

We did a little of the wine trail through Stellenbosch
of Amazing Grace
and then, because of her law background I knew shed
find Robben Island fascinating. That was where the late
Nelson Mandela was incarcerated. Youre taken on tour by
a former prisoner of conscience and as Elaine is incredibly
passionate about human rights I knew she would be
moved by the experience. We did all the things you
simply must do so shed get an essence of the place: Table
Mountain, penguin-watching at Boulders Beach. Then
we flew halfway across the country to Kruger National
Park, where we were set to go on safari and have the
traditional ceremony. Something to tell the grandkids.

Indeed, the Daly-Bodens are poised to become KLs next power couple and DITT thats double
income, toddler-in-tow. The happy news that Elaine was pregnant before they reached Africa almost
showed through the gorgeous silk-cotton damask couture dress Sonny San had whipped up for her.
Laughs Elaine, I remember calling Sonny a great friend and crying, as we needed to take the dress
out; no way Id be breathing in it by the time I had to wear it. I told my friend, Daphne Iking, I dont care
what you have to do, just zip me in! Smiles Nick, Needless to say, my beautiful wife looked perfect.
From start to finish the African leg of our marital journey was Nicks baby, says Elaine. He
arranged for the Sangoma, a traditional healer who came to bless the wedding. I was so moved. There
was something magical when the Zulu choir raised their voices heavenward with Amazing Grace. Nick
had planned everything so perfectly, even down to the beautiful detail that the day itself was my birthday.
I just felt incredibly blessed and happy to have this intimate union
in the natural beauty of Africa.
Shares Nick, The night before the final big day, a few of us
Malaysians went out on safari at Kruger National Park. Elaine
spotted all the big ones: elephant, zebra, rhino, name it. This was
followed by the obligatory crazy thunderstorm, like something
straight out of a movie, but it just added to the serendipity.
Says Elaine, a self-confessed perfectionist, No one was more
surprised than I, that I did not turn into Bridezilla. I just left
everything to the wedding planner for the KL nuptials, and to
Nick, later on, and did not let the small stuff bother me. Im usually
so details-oriented, and there is always small stuff that niggles. But
I guess, like Oprah says, thats how you know its love: when its
about the marriage and the life you are going to build together,
rather than the wedding itself. Next on the travel agenda?

The
THE
LANGUAGE
OF FASHION
From suffragette jewellery to placards on the catwalk,

the conversation between feminism and
fashion is as complex as it is revealing.
By Justine Picardie.
Illustration by Donald Robertson.
Sartorial feminism
through the decades
hen I was an idealistic

undergraduate in my first
term at Cambridge, I went
along to a meeting of what
was called the University
Anti-Sexist Group. There
was much heated debate
about whether men could identify themselves as feminists and
why stilettos were symptomatic of oppression. As it happens,
I wasnt wearing heels, but I had applied red lipstick and nail
varnish, which clashed with my pink dress. This turned out
to be a faux pas not on account of the discordant colours,
but because feminism and fashion were mutually exclusive.
I might have quoted Virginia Woolf by way of defence,
for as she observed, clothes have more important offices
than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of
the world and the worlds view of us. As it was, I remained
silent. But since then thanks in part to Woolf, and her
explorations of the links between what we wear and who we
are (threads that ran through her writing, which she described
as frock consciousness) I have come to realise feminisms
relationship with fashion cannot be so easily dismissed.
The uneasiness of this relationship is, perhaps, part of
the reason for its continuing power to provoke debate. Take,
for example, the feminist protest staged by Karl Lagerfeld
on the Chanel catwalk this season, when a parade of models
marched with banners and megaphones on a recreated
Parisian boulevard inside the Grand Palais. As I watched the
finale, it was impossible not to share the sheer exhilaration of
the models as they shouted and waved their placards (History
Is Her Story; He For She; Feminism Not Masochism).
Afterwards, however, came the inevitable dissent;
much of which ran along the lines that feminism would be
undermined if it were hijacked as a fashion statement. It was
a silly show, wrote a critic; not least because the fashion
industry, and in particular the fashion weeks, are about as
feminist as a fruitcake. Other commentators worried that
CULTURE
The
capitalist consumerism was inherently exploitative, and

therefore precluded a real commitment to feminism; while
another theory suggested the show was an elaborate joke.
Since then, Ive found myself wondering if some of those
rebukes are the contemporary equivalent of the students who
told me I couldnt be a feminist while also taking an interest
in fashion. This might have come as a surprise to the early
suffragettes, who defined themselves, in part, by what they
wore. The official colours of the Pankhursts organisation (the
Womens Social and Political Union, founded in 1903) were
purple, white, and green, which
were emblematic, respectively,
of dignity, purity, and hope;
thousands of protesters wore
these while carrying banners in
the same hues. (A myth came
about that suffragette jewellery
was green, white, and violet,
standing for the slogan Give
Women Votes; while this story
seems to have no basis in truth,
Mappin & Webb did launch a
range of suffragette jewellery for
Christmas 1908, and Selfridges
flew a suffragette flag on its roof.)
A century after the
Pankhursts battled for the right
to vote (a struggle that will be
dramatised in a film starring
Meryl Streep, Carey Mulligan,
and Helena Bonham Carter),
there are many countries where
women remain oppressed. Some
of those places sell Chanel;
images of models on the Chanel
catwalk might filter through
despite repressive regimes.
Which is not to say that Lagerfeld is a revolutionary;
although he is capable of being an agent provocateur, as well
as a wry observer of the times we live in. In his sense, he is
true to the spirit of Coco Chanel herself, who never identified
herself as a feminist, despite the fact that she designed clothes
that liberated women from the strictures of corsets and
hobble skirts, and in doing so, became an icon of female
independence from the moment she set up her business in
1910. Of course, Chanels popularisation of bobbed hair,
gamine sailor tops, and trousers cannot be compared to the
Pankhursts struggle for female emancipation; the parallels
have more to do with timing than anything else.
But to deny fashion its right to join the discussion
about feminism seems unfair (dare I say, repressive). If self
expression through what we wear is part of how we represent
ourselves to the outside world, then why not allow for a degree
of playfulness? And if clothes are a way of hiding the body,
they can also be paradoxically revealing: of emotion, whimsy,
insecurity, status, even subversion. Consider the political
and religious inferences of wearing black from puritanical
Calvinists to Italian fascists to Left Bank intellectuals or

the myriad connotations of red (Catholic cardinals, Russian
revolutionaries, fairy-tale heroines, scarlet women).
For, however tempting it may be to draw conclusions
about what a dress signifies, there are different interpretations
to be had. Compare a virginal wedding dress with the more
sinister, gothic associations of a woman in white (those eerily
spectral presences that haunt the writing of Emily Bront and
Charles Dickens), or white as the colour of mourning. Thus,
the quiet symbolism of Lagerfelds all-white Chanel Haute
Couture show in 2009, staged in
a former bank across the brands
headquarters on Rue Cambon.
The chamber was decorated with
fragile white-paper flowers that
also appeared as headdresses, just
as Icelands financial institutions
were collapsing, and the sky
seemed to be falling down on the
Western world.
True, there are times
when fashion is exasperating,
inane, alienating or perversely
unflattering
(hence
Oscar
Wildes declaration for all his love
of dressing up that fashion is a
form of ugliness so intolerable we
have to alter it every six months).
But even if it is enraging, it can
also be engaging.
But above all, when I think
of the women who inhabit the
realm of Harpers BAZAAR a
magazine that has interpreted
fashion, and its fluid relationship
with women, for nearly 150 years
I am always reminded that
fashion, at its best, is part of the conversation we share. It
should not control us, not overwhelm us; rather, we can look
to fashion as one element in an array of creative tools.
Decades ago, in the late 1920s and early 1930s, when
Hollywood looked toward Paris couture and realised
its power to shape dreams of escape, film producer Sam
Goldwyn proclaimed that Coco Chanel was the leading
fashion dictator. As such, he announced he was hiring her
to work on costumes for his movies, with the aim of bringing
Chanels vision to his audiences. Nowadays, the very idea
of fashion having such control seems absurd; for what is
contemporary fashion but eclectic and fragmented, offering
fleeting suggestions of what we might like to wear?
As for its relationship with feminism: well, you have
doubtless already made your mind up. Thats the joy of the
place weve reached today: we are free to choose how we want
to dress, and to reject anything that makes us uncomfortable.
If anyone tells us otherwise, we are free to let the debate
unfold, safe in the knowledge that our voices will be not be
silenced. Or we can simply let our clothes do the talking.

the way for others. The 70s saw the rise of

famed photographer Annie Leibovitz; the 80s

Sherman; and the 90s ushered in the raw talents
of Ellen von Unwerth. Each with a very distinct
Annie Leibovitz
photographic style of visual storytelling, they have all
stayed true to themselves but evolved with time, and
are still very much relevant today. Leibovitz was the
last photographer to capture John Lennon and Yoko
Ono, which turned into the infamous Rolling Stone
cover wherein Lennon was curled up naked next to a
fully clothed Ono. She is still pushing the boundaries

of photography in fascinating ways. For me, the story
by Ellen von Unwerth
about pictures is about almost losing myself, and
coming back, and what it means to be deeply involved in a subject, she says.
Sherman, on the other hand, will always be remembered for her exceptional selfportraits. Yes, she was the centre of attention in most of her
works, but her idea was to lose herself within the images.
Ellen von
Unwerth
The viewer is no longer looking at Sherman but instead
at the character she has inhabited. More recently, she was
one of the few artists to collaborate with Louis Vuitton in
reinventing its classic monogram.
In a predominantly male-centric industry, these
women have carved illustrious careers through the lens of
their cameras, paving the way for the next generation.

afees Mohammed raised an imperious

hand. The Jeep screeched to a halt. There,
across a dry river bed, not 30 metres
away, was a tigress. And with her, three
cubs. The size of Labradors, they patted
her with their outsize paws as she lay
blinking in the sunshine. They knew we
were there, but they couldnt have cared less. Two of the cubs
gambolled away to climb trees; the third cuffed his mother,
stood heavily on her flank, and chewed her ear. It was almost
too good to be true. And then, it seemed, it was. For the tigress
Krishna rose, slowly and majestically, and walked away. We
feared shed disappear. But no, she turned back and walked
towards us, cubs following. She paused
by the side of the track, looked directly
at us, vulnerable and awed in our open
car, with her amber eyes 165kg, nine
feet of unutterably beautiful orangeand-black-striped killer then crossed
the path right in front of the Jeep
where we sat, breathlessly watching.
Her family trotted after her, up and
away into the trees, where we could not
follow. It was what I had always dreamt
of and Nafees, a naturalist of 25 years
experience and my guide for three game
drives in Ranthambore National Park,
had made it come true.
An old Hindu temple
I had never believed I would see
India: so many friends had gone there
to find themselves as 18-year-olds
and come back confused, admittedly,
but rich in baggy tie-dye trousers and
stories. The place seemed so vast, so
complex, so unknowable, that it took
months just to scratch the surface and
recover from inevitable tummy upsets.
They were going for what MM Kaye describes in The Far

Pavilions as that other India: that mixture of glamour and
tawdriness, viciousness and nobility. A land full of gods and
gold and famine. Ugly as a rotting corpse and beautiful
beyond belief I wasnt sure I had
the stomach or the time for such an
adventure. What I did want to do was
plunge into a world of colour and catch
a glimpse of a rich and sophisticated
culture wholly different from my own.
And return to my life, refreshed but not
changed, without catching any bugs. I
discovered it was possible to do just that.
I landed in Delhi at night and dived
into the noisy, polluted, hooting chaos
of the motorways. It was almost Diwali,
the Hindu festival of light, and bashedup trucks, motorised three-wheeled
taxis, and sleek Mercedes were decorated with garlands and
tinsel. We negotiated the slow, congested roads and then
emerged into the wide boulevards and parks leading to the
Oberoi, New Delhi. The hotel celebrates its 50th birthday
this year and its sleek modernist efficiency is a contrast to the
excitements of the city beyond its manicured garden and pool
loungers. From my skyscraper room, I saw eagles and kites
swooping above what looked like virgin jungle.
The impression of peace and grandeur that Edwin Lutyens
gave the mansions and government buildings of New Delhi
a century ago is in stark contradiction to the bustle of Old
Delhi, a short drive away. The drama of the roads is a tourist
attraction in itself. Theres a Jungle Book charm to streets in
which sacred cows, dignified with their dowagers humps
and liquid eyes, wander unmolested across lanes of traffic.
In other streets, red-faced macaques have made their homes,
coexisting with striped squirrels and stray dogs. Three-wheel
Jaipur, the capital

of Rajasthan, is
known principally
for two of my
favourite things:
palaces and jewels.

the forest the tigers lunch. Rooms here are called tents
and, indeed, they have canvas roofs, but they are tents no boy
scout would recognise, with gilt tigers and trees patterned
over them, and glorious wooden bathrooms with standalone
baths. As in every Oberoi, the service
is outstanding; for no matter how
beautiful a hotel can be, only staff who
are truly welcoming can make you feel
at home. And they all did so here, from
the courteous manager to the musician
sitting cross-legged in scarlet robes and a
turban, playing a sarangi in the courtyard
as I feasted on venison curry.
Finally I came to Jaipur. The capital
of Rajasthan is known principally for
two of my favourite things: palaces and jewels. No wonder I
felt at home. The Water Palace, set in a lake, is exquisite, as is
the Amer Forts Saffron Garden, a terraced pleasure-ground
built on water below the castle. Access to the hilltop fort
itself is by elephant, complete with scarlet accoutrements and
painted decorations. Mine, another Lakshmi, had incredibly
long eyelashes. The fort, built at the end of the 16th Century
and a short drive from the centre of Jaipur, is rich in marble
pillars and extravagant decoration; the paint on its ceilings is
made from ground-up malachite, onyx, amethyst, and gold.
More gold was on display in the jewellers. My stylish guide
here, Neeta Parmar, was just as keen as I was on glitter and
sparkle, and agreed to barter on my behalf in sari shops I
cant think of a finer place to succumb to temptation.
The Oberoi Rajvilas, about 20 minutes outside town,
was a blissful place to cool down after the heat, colour, and
friendly mayhem of the town. Here I lay next to a stone
elephant spouting water into the pool as peacocks patrolled
the lawn and spotted doves fluttered to roost in date-palms.
I didnt begin to understand India and nor did I buy
any tie-dye. But what I do want is to get back there as soon as
possible and explore it some more.
taxis are everywhere: I saw one carrying

six impeccably uniformed schoolgirls.
Motorbikes zip by with sarid women
demurely riding pillion side-saddle;
others phut past, piled high with hundreds of footballs or
bundles of sugar cane wrapped in tarpaulin.
I explored only a tantalising few of the citys delights,
from the grand mosque Jama Masjid to the upmarket
shopping at Khan Market, where Grover Cloth House,
which has supplied Chelsea Clinton, expertly copied me a
favourite summer dress in the blink of an eye. I loved the
Qutub complex of temples and mosques, a huge and tumbled
mass of picturesque ruins dating back to the 12th Century;
the following morning, I explored the tomb of the 16thCentury Mughal emperor Humayun. He was a literary chap
who died toppling down the steps of his library with his arms
full of books. His tomb, a precursor to the
The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur
Taj Mahal, was built by his widow and is
spectacular, though I preferred another,
more ruined tomb and mosque on the same
site but hidden away, overgrown by trees and
peopled only by acid-green parakeets.
All too soon, I was off on a train for the
five-hour ride west into Rajasthan and the
150-square-mile tiger haven. Here, I was
ushered through the gates of the Oberoi
Vanyavilas, marigold petals sprinkled onto
my head. The hotel is organised around
game drives and tiger-spotting, but even if
the elusive felines decline to appear, there
are the hotels two elephants, Mala and
Lakshmi, to ride. Black langur monkeys
hang from the trees, and deer run through

it has to be done in the most
subtle way possible.
Mantra of the month
Fire is a good servant but a poor master.

It must have been hard to see a tricky

situation from the point of view of loved
ones. However, by mid-March, when Pluto
challenges Uranus you will have a much
better grasp of whats going on. Youll
realise how crucial it is to offer support.
Mantra of the month Hunger finds no
fault with the cook.

Jupiters tie-up with Uranus early in March

could establish intriguing encounters. It
may be tempting to abandon everyday
aspects of life, but that would be a mistake.
You must handle ongoing situations while
integrating exciting new things into life.
Mantra of the month The real winner is
the one who refuses to fight.
No matter how much youre enjoying what

a close partnership has to offer, you must
also show interest in other, rather different,
relationships. They could prove to be an
investment. Just make sure youre not
getting drawn into a moral maze.
Mantra of the month Better to turn back
halfway than lose yourself.
If a joint plan is to succeed, its essential to

trust those involved. Ignore gossip designed
to discredit somebody you want on your
team. Troublemakers need to see its a waste
of time trying to influence decisions youre
making; a U-turn is out of the question.
Mantra of the month Your head never
aches while youre comforting another.

WHY
DONT
YOU...?
U N LE A S H YO U R M I N D ? The only real

elegance is in the mind; if youve got that, the rest really
comes from it. Diana Vreeland, legendary fashion editor
of Harpers BAZAAR
B R E A K F RO M STE R EOT Y PE S ?
Stereotypes are limiting. The best thing a woman can do
for herself is to build on her talents, pursue her passions and
dreams, do whatever she thinks she can, and just ignore the
stereotype. Think of the thing you are afraid of doing, and
do just that. Sumitra Visvanathan, executive director of
Womens Aid Organisation
R A I S E YO U R VO I C E ? I raise up my voice,
not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be
heard. We cannot succeed when half of us are held back.
Malala Yousafzai, activist for female education and the
youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize
B E CO N F I D E NT ? When a
woman is in tune with herself and feels
confident in her own skin, she will create
positive ripple effects with her partner,
family, and the world at large. Dr. Terry
Loong, integrative cosmetic and skin doctor
Diana
Vreeland
G R A B TH E WO R LD BY TH E
L A PE L S ? Lifes a bitch. Youve got to go
out and kick ass! Maya Angelou, author,
poet, dancer, and actress
DA R E TO B E ? Women have always
been the strong ones of the world. The men are
always seeking from women a little pillow to pit
their heads down on. They are always longing
for the mother who held them as infants.
Coco Chanel, fashion designer
C H A LLE N G E YO U R S E LF ?
One of the greatest challenges for women
Emma Watson
now, with so many womens initiatives and
discussion, is to realise that this game should be
about evaluation on merit and not about special treatment.
Expectation of special treatment is a weakness. May the best
person win that is progress. That best person will often be
a woman. Datin Shalini Ganendra, gallerist
TA K E TH E LE A D ? We need to reshape our
own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step
up as women and take the lead. Beyonc, singer
and actress
B E A F E M I N I ST ? Why
has the word feminism become such an
uncomfortable one? It is not the word that
is important; its the idea and the ambition
behind it. Emma Watson, actress and
UN Women goodwill ambassador
